35INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7*
36
37These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you
Bram Moolenaarb2956cd2005-01-27 14:42:53 +000038run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0.
39
40A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer,
41unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the
42buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing
43all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that
44":quit" fails now.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000045
Bram Moolenaarf4b8e572004-06-24 15:53:16 +000046":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.
47
Bram Moolenaar1cd871b2004-12-19 22:46:22 +000048In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file
49name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping
50double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi.
51 Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~
52 :edit foo\"888 'foo"888' 'foo"888'
53 :next foo\"888 'foo888' 'foo"888'
54 :next a\"b c\"d 'ab cd' 'a"b' and 'c"d'
55
Bram Moolenaar8c711452005-01-14 21:53:12 +000056In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one.
57":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it
58results in "a'b".
59
Bram Moolenaarf4b8e572004-06-24 15:53:16 +000060
61Minor incompatibilities:
62
63For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use
64*/.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.
65
66":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.
67
68Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.
69
70Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was
71confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +000072
Bram Moolenaar7b0294c2004-10-11 10:16:09 +000073When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name
74isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name that are not useful.
75
76The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML
77looks like its displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR" if no
78folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by Carl Osterwisch)
Bram Moolenaar47136d72004-10-12 20:02:24 +000079Diff mode now is also converted as it is displayed.
Bram Moolenaar7b0294c2004-10-11 10:16:09 +000080
Bram Moolenaar293ee4d2004-12-09 21:34:53 +000081Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends
82on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without
83changing 'winaltkeys'.
84
Bram Moolenaar8c711452005-01-14 21:53:12 +000085When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which
86is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to
87avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010".
Bram Moolenaar1cd871b2004-12-19 22:46:22 +000088
89When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings'
90now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit
91encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if
92possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a
93non-latin1 environment, such as Russian.
94
Bram Moolenaard438e912005-01-31 19:21:46 +000095Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying
96a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed.
97
Bram Moolenaar4399ef42005-02-12 14:29:27 +000098"-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit.
99Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option.

Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000101==============================================================================
102NEW FEATURES *new-7*
103
Bram Moolenaarbac234e2005-01-17 22:21:07 +0000104Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script*
105-----------------------
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000106
107In Vim scripts the following types have been added:
108
Bram Moolenaar31c67ef2005-01-11 21:34:41 +0000109 List ordered list of items |List|
110 Dictionary associative array of items |Dictionary|
111 Funcref reference to a function |Funcref|
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000112
113Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types.
114
Bram Moolenaar31c67ef2005-01-11 21:34:41 +0000115The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a
116variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()|
117can be used to turn the string back into the variable value.
118
Bram Moolenaarbac234e2005-01-17 22:21:07 +0000119The |:let| command can now use ":let var += expr" like using ":let var = var +
120expr". "-=" and ".=" works in a similar way.
121
Bram Moolenaar038eb0e2005-02-27 22:43:26 +0000122With the |:profile| command you can find out where your function or script
123wastes its time.
124
Bram Moolenaar843ee412004-06-30 16:16:41 +0000125
Bram Moolenaar325b7a22004-07-05 15:58:32 +0000126KDE support *new-KDE*
Bram Moolenaar843ee412004-06-30 16:16:41 +0000127-----------
128
129Kvim is the KDE version of Vim. It uses the Qt toolkit. See |KVim|.
130(Thomas Capricelli, Philippe Fremy, Mickael Marchand, Mark Westcott, et al.)
131
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000132
Bram Moolenaar325b7a22004-07-05 15:58:32 +0000133MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme*
134------------------
135
136The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme|
137The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands.
138The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file.
139
Bram Moolenaar31c67ef2005-01-11 21:34:41 +0000140
Bram Moolenaar8299df92004-07-10 09:47:34 +0000141Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte*
142------------------
143
144The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters.
145The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this.
146Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams)
147
Bram Moolenaar325b7a22004-07-05 15:58:32 +0000148
Bram Moolenaar293ee4d2004-12-09 21:34:53 +0000149Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans*
150-----------------------
151
152The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in
153Italian (translated by Antonio Colombo). More languages will follow.
154
Bram Moolenaarb5bf5b82004-12-24 14:35:23 +0000155The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/.
156
Bram Moolenaar293ee4d2004-12-09 21:34:53 +0000157
Bram Moolenaar8fc061c2004-12-29 21:03:02 +0000158Internal grep *new-vimgrep*
159-------------
160
161The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files.
162This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides
163better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line
164patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files.
165|:vimgrep|.
166
Bram Moolenaar05159a02005-02-26 23:04:13 +0000167If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the
168|errorlist()| function.
169
Bram Moolenaar8fc061c2004-12-29 21:03:02 +0000170
Bram Moolenaar4399ef42005-02-12 14:29:27 +0000171POSIX compatibility *new-posix*
172-------------------
173
174The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of
175problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them
176conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment
177variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|.
178
179Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibilty:
180- repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to
181 'cpoptions' |cpo-X|
182- a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added
183 the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--|
184- when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the
185 '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&|
186- The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and
187 CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now
188 accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a
189 digit.
190- Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}.
191- When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in
192 'cpoptions'.
Bram Moolenaar5313dcb2005-02-22 08:56:13 +0000193- Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number".
194- Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified.
195- In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line
196 above or below the new lines.
197- Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command.
198- When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the
199 inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines.
200- Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each
201 matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line.
202- The |:open| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but
203 redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do.
204- Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external
205 command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe").
206- In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed.
207- The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before.
208- The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'.
209- Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert.
210- Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line.
211- Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and
212 CTRL-T cannot be handled then.
213- In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines.
214- Implemented the 'prompt' option.

419IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7*
420
Bram Moolenaarf4b8e572004-06-24 15:53:16 +0000421":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".
422
Bram Moolenaar8299df92004-07-10 09:47:34 +0000423Move the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now.
424
Bram Moolenaarf4b8e572004-06-24 15:53:16 +0000425":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
426breakpoint at the cursor.
427
Bram Moolenaar843ee412004-06-30 16:16:41 +0000428The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and added text to explain a
429few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000430
Bram Moolenaarcfbc5ee2004-07-02 15:38:35 +0000431Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display
432it. (Johannes Zellner)
433
Bram Moolenaar592e0a22004-07-03 16:05:59 +0000434Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet)
435
Bram Moolenaar21cf8232004-07-16 20:18:37 +0000436Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that
437doesn not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd
438autocommands.
439
Bram Moolenaar325b7a22004-07-05 15:58:32 +0000440For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev)
441- square brackets are recognized properly
442- #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals
443- Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized
444
Bram Moolenaar89cb5e02004-07-19 20:55:54 +0000445Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher)
446
Bram Moolenaar5eb86f92004-07-26 12:53:41 +0000447winnr() takes an optional "$" and "#" arguments. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan
448Lakshmanan)
449
450Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull)
451
Bram Moolenaard4755bb2004-09-02 19:12:26 +0000452When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't
453delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not
454actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott)
455
456When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax.
457Also support setting the filetype to "cdoxygen" for C plus doxygen syntax.
458(Michael Geddes)
459
460The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly.
461
462VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag
463upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes.
464(Zoltan Arpadffy)
465
Bram Moolenaar15d0a8c2004-09-06 17:44:46 +0000466For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number
467of buffers.
468
Bram Moolenaarb5bf5b82004-12-24 14:35:23 +0000469The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can
470have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan)
471
Bram Moolenaar3fdfa4a2004-10-07 21:02:47 +0000472When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts
473the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras)
474
475Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that
476digraphs still work when iconv is not available.
477
Bram Moolenaar293ee4d2004-12-09 21:34:53 +0000478When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that
479buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer
480list.
481
482Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it.
483(NAKADAIRA Yukihiro)
484
485When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the
486second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first
487line is just "/*".
488
Bram Moolenaar1cd871b2004-12-19 22:46:22 +0000489When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there
490mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the
491edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to
492the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The
493used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much
494more reliable.
495
496Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding'
497in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console,
498"fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims
499with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages.
500
Bram Moolenaar86b68352004-12-27 21:59:20 +0000501Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
502incremented/decremented each time.
503
Bram Moolenaar2079a602005-01-04 21:43:22 +0000504Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label
Bram Moolenaar567e4de2004-12-31 21:01:02 +0000505contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and
506a bit less dependent on the X11 font management.
507
Bram Moolenaar49cd9572005-01-03 21:06:01 +0000508When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file.
509
Bram Moolenaar8c711452005-01-14 21:53:12 +0000510Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete.
511
Bram Moolenaardcaf10e2005-01-21 11:55:25 +0000512":redir @*>" and ":redir @+>" append to the clipboard. Better check for
Bram Moolenaar5313dcb2005-02-22 08:56:13 +0000513invalid characters after the register name. |:redir|
514

522
Bram Moolenaard438e912005-01-31 19:21:46 +0000523The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start
524searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
Bram Moolenaarb71ec9f2005-01-25 22:22:02 +0000525
Bram Moolenaarbee0c5b2005-02-07 22:03:36 +0000526g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of
527bytes.
528
Bram Moolenaar5313dcb2005-02-22 08:56:13 +0000529Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip
530":" between range and command name. (Peter winters)
531
532CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was
533ignored.
534
535When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep
536will result in a message with the source of the error.
537
Bram Moolenaar05159a02005-02-26 23:04:13 +0000538When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that
539":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c".
540
541To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has
542been added to |:substitute|. See |count-items|.
543
Bram Moolenaar038eb0e2005-02-27 22:43:26 +0000544The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for
Bram Moolenaar19a09a12005-03-04 23:39:37 +0000545'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin".
546
547The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason|
548variable that specifies what triggered the event. |v:fcs_choice| can be used
549to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do.
Bram Moolenaar038eb0e2005-02-27 22:43:26 +0000550
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000551==============================================================================
552COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7*
553
Bram Moolenaar2079a602005-01-04 21:43:22 +0000554Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and
555probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
556and merge it back in.
557
Bram Moolenaarab79bcb2004-07-18 21:34:53 +0000558Mac: "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to
559its final destination. (Raf)
560
561Mac: Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and
562still being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c
563file.
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000564
Bram Moolenaar5313dcb2005-02-22 08:56:13 +0000565When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the
566following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory.
567
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000568==============================================================================
569BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
570
Bram Moolenaarf4b8e572004-06-24 15:53:16 +0000571When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
572instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
573work. Use "LPT1" then.
574
575The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
576size. Use a default size of 10.
577
578This example in the documentation didn't work:
579 :e `=foo . ".c" `
580Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
581
582When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
583
584"L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
585
586Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
587when it doesn't support MDI.
588
589Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
590
591"2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
592space.
593
594Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
595SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
596for doesn't have an extension.
597
598When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
599may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
600cursor and not putting it back where it was.
601
602When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
603not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
604to make it work the old way.
605
Bram Moolenaarf4b8e572004-06-24 15:53:16 +0000606When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
607filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
608
609After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
610
611Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
612fields. (Walter Briscoe)
Bram Moolenaar071d4272004-06-13 20:20:40 +0000613
Bram Moolenaar843ee412004-06-30 16:16:41 +0000614On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De
615Michele)
616
Bram Moolenaar325b7a22004-07-05 15:58:32 +0000617Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a
618CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams)
619
Bram Moolenaar2df6dcc2004-07-12 15:53:54 +0000620When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was
621ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5.
622
623Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control
624characters.
625
Bram Moolenaar21cf8232004-07-16 20:18:37 +0000626When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment
627variables like for a regular command with a file argument.
628
629'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line
630is indented too much.
631
632When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and
633alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned
634items.
635
Bram Moolenaar05159a02005-02-26 23:04:13 +0000636Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the
637active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME.
638
Bram Moolenaarab79bcb2004-07-18 21:34:53 +0000639The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use
640"cn" or "tw" as intended.
641
Bram Moolenaar5eb86f92004-07-26 12:53:41 +0000642When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break
643after the last line while it's not there.
644
645Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when
646resizing the GUI shell upon startup.
647
648Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a
649string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored.
650
Bram Moolenaar269ec652004-07-29 08:43:53 +0000651When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would
652contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre
653and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name.
654
Bram Moolenaard4755bb2004-09-02 19:12:26 +0000655strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh)
656
657GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives
658just before it is invoked
659
660VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of
661environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
662
663UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character
664from the first character of the word.
665
666When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was
667detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer().
668
669When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index,
670but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead.
671
Bram Moolenaar15d0a8c2004-09-06 17:44:46 +0000672When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument
673list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow
674interrupting this.
675
676When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not
677used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options
678and global options remain unmodified.
679
680Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the
681command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the
682file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line.
683
Bram Moolenaarc0197e22004-09-13 20:26:32 +0000684Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the
685default value of 'isprint' was wrong.
686
687When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an
688xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last
689line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE.
690
Bram Moolenaar3fdfa4a2004-10-07 21:02:47 +0000691Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work.
692
693When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not
694going to be used like a command.
695
696GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a
697GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed.
698
699GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango.
700
701Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command
702line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the
703console version.
704
705Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because
706there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2.
707
Bram Moolenaar7b0294c2004-10-11 10:16:09 +0000708When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header
709files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the
710directory for the library early in the link flags.
711
712With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was
713literal text. Now it works for any pattern.
714
Bram Moolenaar293ee4d2004-12-09 21:34:53 +0000715When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still
716cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction.
717
718When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead
719buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up.
720
721Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes
722problems for Terminal.app.
723
724When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or
725end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains"
726argument.
727
728When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting
729has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come
730back.
731
732When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there
733was only one match. (Sergey Khorev)
734
735When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting
736"cancel", would still give an error message.
737
738The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal
739mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible.
740
741Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some
742keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2).
743
744Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c
745
746In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is
747selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break
748is included, e.g., after "v$o".
749
750GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a
751GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas)
752
753After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text.
754
755When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While
756doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturbe us, thus ignore it. (Scott
Bram Moolenaar46c9c732004-12-12 11:37:09 +0000757Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to
758handle. Added handle_signal().
759
760When using "set laststatus=2 cmdheight=2" in the .gvimrc you may only get one
761line for the cmdline. (Christian Robinson) Invoke command_height() after the
762GUI has started up.
Bram Moolenaar293ee4d2004-12-09 21:34:53 +0000763
Bram Moolenaar1cd871b2004-12-19 22:46:22 +0000764When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for
765white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab.
766
767When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a
768long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent()
769being found in a library.
770
771When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command
772may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text.
773
774Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding'
775is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon)
776
777When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the
778original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was
779empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could
780be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use
781the values when recovering.
782
783":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file
784message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that.
785
Bram Moolenaarb5bf5b82004-12-24 14:35:23 +0000786Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and #
787when building the ":drop" command.
788
Bram Moolenaar86b68352004-12-27 21:59:20 +0000789A comment or | just after a expresion-backtick argument was not recognized.
790E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment.
791
Bram Moolenaar567e4de2004-12-31 21:01:02 +0000792"(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")"
793does. Also breaks "das" on that dot.
794
795When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k"
796moved the cursor to another column.
797
798When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double
799quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed
800fold.
801
802In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line
803break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes".
804
Bram Moolenaar2079a602005-01-04 21:43:22 +0000805Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki)
Bram Moolenaar567e4de2004-12-31 21:01:02 +0000806
Bram Moolenaar49cd9572005-01-03 21:06:01 +0000807Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar
Bram Moolenaar2079a602005-01-04 21:43:22 +0000808(Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki)
Bram Moolenaar49cd9572005-01-03 21:06:01 +0000809
Bram Moolenaar1c2fda22005-01-02 11:43:19 +0000810When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was
811not included.
812
813Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS.
814Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests.
815
816When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above
817the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position.
818
Bram Moolenaar3d60ec22005-01-05 22:19:46 +0000819Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>".
820
Bram Moolenaarb7d6e722005-01-09 21:22:45 +0000821When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode
822(possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert
823mode. (Peter Winters)
824
Bram Moolenaar31c67ef2005-01-11 21:34:41 +0000825"2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character.
826
Bram Moolenaar8c711452005-01-14 21:53:12 +0000827Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was
828not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns().
Bram Moolenaar798c5a72005-01-16 22:06:30 +0000829Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'".
Bram Moolenaar8c711452005-01-14 21:53:12 +0000830
Bram Moolenaarb71ec9f2005-01-25 22:22:02 +0000831When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more
832lines" overwrites the message.
833
834Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output.
835
Bram Moolenaarb2956cd2005-01-27 14:42:53 +0000836When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs
837after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right
838column in the wrong line.
839
Bram Moolenaard438e912005-01-31 19:21:46 +0000840When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak"
841starts with "sl".
842
843When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear
844'paste' when starting the GUI.
845
Bram Moolenaarf5836682005-02-02 23:09:45 +0000846A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL.
847
Bram Moolenaar2a8d1f82005-02-05 21:43:56 +0000848When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode.
849Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a
850mapping.
851
852Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato)
853
854":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible.
855
Bram Moolenaarbee0c5b2005-02-07 22:03:36 +0000856When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice
857in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed.
858
859When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an
860empty $SHELL value.
861
862A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty
863file.
864
865When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still
866moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is.
867
868When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put
869the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This
870is Vi compatible.
871
Bram Moolenaar4399ef42005-02-12 14:29:27 +0000872Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior.
873Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The
874$VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default.
875
876Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>'
877flag to 'cpoptions' for this.
878
879Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi
880compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this.
881
882When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi
883leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in
884'cpoptions' for this.
885
886Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append".
887
888Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to
889be Vi compatible.
890
891When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still
892request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the
893shell and caused trouble there.
894
Bram Moolenaar5313dcb2005-02-22 08:56:13 +0000895When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would
896still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan
897Lakshmanan)
898
899It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is
900sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command.
901
Bram Moolenaar05159a02005-02-26 23:04:13 +0000902When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines
903from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim.
904
905When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak.
906
Bram Moolenaar19a09a12005-03-04 23:39:37 +0000907Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use
908unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka)
909
910":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile".
911
