Check this list if you +run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0. + +A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer, +unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the +buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing +all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that +":quit" fails now. + +":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match. + +In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file +name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping +double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi. + Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~ + :edit foo\"888 foo"888 foo"888 + :next foo\"888 foo888 foo"888 + :next a\"b c\"d ab cd a"b and c"d + +In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one. +":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it +results in "a'b". + +When overwriting a file with ":w! fname" there was no warning for when "fname" +was being edited by another Vim. Vim now gives an error message |E768|. + +The support for Mac OS 9 has been removed. + +Files ending in .tex now have 'filetype' set to "context", "plaintex", or +"tex". |ft-tex-plugin| + + +Minor incompatibilities: + +For filetype detection: For many types, use */.dir/filename instead of +~/.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files. + +For quite a few filetypes the indent settings have been moved from the +filetype plugin to the indent plugin. If you used: > + :filetype plugin on +Then some indent settings may be missing. You need to use: > + :filetype plugin indent on + +":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one. + +Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code. + +Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was +confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile". + +When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name +isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name, they are not useful. + +The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML +looks like it's displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR", or +"let html_ignore_folding=1", if no folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by +Carl Osterwisch) +Diff mode is now also converted to HTML as it is displayed. + +Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends +on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without +changing 'winaltkeys'. + +When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which +is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to +avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010". + +When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings' +now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit +encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if +possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a +non-latin1 environment, such as Russian. + +Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying +a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed. + +"-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit. +Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option. + +Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the +disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since +you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally +translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>, +<xF1>, etc. + +":put" now leaves the cursor on the last inserted line. + +When a .gvimrc file exists then 'compatible' is off, just like when a ".vimrc" +file exists. + +When making a string upper-case with "vlllU" or similar then the German sharp +s is replaced with "SS". This does not happen with "~" to avoid backwards +compatibility problems and because "SS" can't be changed back to a sharp s. + +"gd" previously found the very first occurrence of a variable in a function, +that could be the function argument without type. Now it finds the position +where the type is given. + +The line continuation in functions was not taken into account, line numbers in +errors were logical lines, not lines in the sourced file. That made it +difficult to locate errors. Now the line number in the sourced file is +reported, relative to the function start. This also means that line numbers +for ":breakadd func" are different. + +When defining a user command with |:command| the special items could be +abbreviated. This caused unexpected behavior, such as <li> being recognized +as <line1>. The items can no longer be abbreviated. + +When executing a FileChangedRO autocommand it is no longer allowed to switch +to another buffer or edit another file. This is to prevent crashes (the event +is triggered deep down in the code where changing buffers is not anticipated). +It is still possible to reload the buffer. + +At the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, when the 'more' option is +set, the 'k', 'u', 'g' and 'b' keys are now used to scroll back to previous +messages. Thus they are no longer used as typeahead. + +============================================================================== +NEW FEATURES *new-7* + +Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script* +----------------------- + +In Vim scripts the following types have been added: + + |List| ordered list of items + |Dictionary| associative array of items + |Funcref| reference to a function + +Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types. + +The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a +variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()| +can be used to turn the string back into the variable value. + +The |:let| command can now use "+=", "-=" and ".=": > + :let var += expr " works like :let var = var + expr + :let var -= expr " works like :let var = var - expr + :let var .= string " works like :let var = var . string + +With the |:profile| command you can find out where your function or script +is wasting time. + +In the Python interface vim.eval() also handles Dictionaries and Lists. +|python-eval| (G. Sumner Hayes) + +The |getscript| plugin was added as a convenient way to update scripts from +www.vim.org automatically. (Charles Campbell) + +The |vimball| plugin was added as a convenient way to distribute a set of +files for a plugin (plugin file, autoload script, documentation). (Charles +Campbell) + + +Spell checking *new-spell* +-------------- + +Spell checking has been integrated in Vim. There were a few implementations +with scripts, but they were slow and/or required an external program. + +The 'spell' option is used to switch spell checking on or off +The 'spelllang' option is used to specify the accepted language(s) +The 'spellfile' option specifies where new words are added +The 'spellsuggest' option specifies the methods used for making suggestions + +The |[s| and |]s| commands can be used to move to the next or previous error +The |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to add good and wrong words +The |z=| command can be used to list suggestions and correct the word +The |:mkspell| command is used to generate a Vim spell file from word lists + +The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling +mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki). +The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and +background. +The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about +220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined +with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax +highlighting and marking the Visual area. + +Much more info here: |spell|. + + +Omni completion *new-omni-completion* +--------------- + +This could also be called "intellisense", but that is a trademark. It is a +smart kind of completion. The text in front of the cursor is inspected to +figure out what could be following. This may suggest struct and class +members, system functions, etc. + +Use CTRL-X CTRL-O in Insert mode to start the completion. |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| + +The 'omnifunc' option is set by filetype plugins to define the function that +figures out the completion. + +Currently supported languages: + C |ft-c-omni| + (X)HTML with CSS |ft-html-omni| + JavaScript |ft-javascript-omni| + PHP |ft-php-omni| + Python + Ruby |ft-ruby-omni| + SQL |ft-sql-omni| + XML |ft-xml-omni| + any language wih syntax highligting |ft-syntax-omni| + +You can add your own omni completion scripts. + +When the 'completeopt' option contains "menu" then matches for Insert mode +completion are displayed in a (rather primitive) popup menu. + + +MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme* +------------------ + +The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme| + +The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands +The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file + +This depends on Vim being compiled with the |+mzscheme| feature. + + +Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte* +------------------------ + +The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters when using +PostScript. + +The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this. +Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams) + + +Tab pages *new-tab-pages* +--------- + +A tab page is page with one or more windows with a label (aka tab) at the top. +By clicking on the label you can quickly switch between the tab pages. And +with the keyboard, using the |gt| (Goto Tab) command. This is a convenient +way to work with many windows. + +To start Vim with each file argument in a separate tab page use the |-p| +argument. The maximum number of pages can be set with 'tabpagemax'. + +The line with tab labels is either made with plain text and highlighting or +with a GUI mechanism. The GUI labels look better but are only available on a +few systems. The line can be customized with 'tabline', 'guitablabel' and +'guitabtooltip'. Whether it is displayed is set with 'showtabline'. Whether +to use the GUI labels is set with the "e" flag in 'guioptions'. + +The |:tab| command modifier can be used to have most commands that open a new +window open a new tab page instead. + +The |--remote-tab| argument can be used to edit a file in a new tab page in an +already running Vim server. + +Variables starting with "t:" are local to a tab page. + +More info here: |tabpage| +Most of the GUI stuff was implemented by Yegappan Lakshmanan. + + +Undo branches *new-undo-branches* +------------- + +Previously there was only one line of undo-redo. If, after undoing a number +of changes, a new change was made all the undone changes were lost. This +could lead to accidentally losing work. + +Vim now makes an undo branch in this situation. Thus you can go back to the +text after any change, even if they were undone. So long as you do not run +into 'undolevels', when undo information is freed up to limit the memory used. + +To be able to navigate the undo branches each change is numbered sequentially. +The commands |g-| and |:earlier| go back in time, to older changes. The +commands |g+| and |:later| go forward in time, to newer changes. + +The changes are also timestamped. Use ":earlier 10m" to go to the text as it +was about ten minutes earlier. + +The |:undolist| command can be used to get an idea of which undo branches +exist. The |:undo| command now takes an argument to directly jump to a +specific position in this list. The |changenr()| function can be used to +obtain the change number. + +There is no graphical display of the tree with changes, navigation can be +quite confusing. + + +Extended Unicode support *new-more-unicode* +------------------------ + +Previously only two combining characters were displayed. The limit is now +raised to 6. This can be set with the 'maxcombine' option. The default is +still 2. + +|ga| now shows all combining characters, not just the first two. + +Previously only 16 bit Unicode characters were supported for displaying. Now +the full 32 bit character set can be used. Unless manually disabled at +compile time to save a bit of memory. + +For pattern matching it is now possible to search for individual composing +characters. |patterns-composing| + +The |8g8| command searches for an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence. + + +More highlighting *new-more-highlighting* +----------------- + +Highlighting matching parens: + +When moving the cursor through the text and it is on a paren, then the +matching paren can be highlighted. This uses the new |CursorMoved| +autocommand event. + +This means some commands are executed every time you move the cursor. If this +slows you down too much switch it off with: > + :NoMatchParen + +See |matchparen| for more information. + +The plugin uses the |:match| command. It now supports three match patterns. +The plugin uses the third one. The first one is for the user and the second +one can be used by another plugin. + +Highlighting the cursor line and column: + +The 'cursorline' and 'cursorcolumn' options have been added. These highlight +the screen line and screen column of the cursor. This makes the cursor +position easier to spot. 'cursorcolumn' is also useful to align text. This +may make screen updating quite slow. The CursorColumn and CursorLine +highlight groups allow changing the colors used. |hl-CursorColumn| +|hl-CursorLine| + +The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about +220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined +with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax +highlighting, marking the Visual area, CursorColumn, etc. + + +Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans* +----------------------- + +The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in +several other languages. + +French - translated by David Blanchet +Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo +Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin +Polish - translated by Mikolaj Machowski + +The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/, +.../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/. There appears to be no +standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file +is used there as a best guess. +Other languages are installed in similar places. +The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured +with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will +do it anyway. + + +Internal grep *new-vimgrep* +------------- + +The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files. +This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides +better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line +patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files. +|:vimgrep|. + +If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the +|getqflist()| function. + +To grep files in various directories the "**" pattern can be used. It expands +into an arbitrary depth of directories. "**" can be used in all places where +file names are expanded, thus also with |:next| and |:args|. + + +Scroll back in messages *new-scroll-back* +----------------------- + +When displaying messages, at the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, The +'k', 'u', 'g' and 'b' keys can be used to scroll back to previous messages. +This is especially useful for commands such as ":syntax", ":autocommand" and +":highlight". This is implemented in a generic way thus it works for all +commands and highlighting is kept. Only works when the 'more' option is set. +Previously it only partly worked for ":clist". + +The |g<| command can be used to see the last page of messages after you have +hit <Enter> at the |hit-enter-prompt|. Then you can scroll further back. + + +Cursor past end of the line *new-onemore* +--------------------------- + +When the 'virtualedit' option contains "onemore" the cursor can move just past +the end of the line. As if it's on top of the line break. + +This makes some commands more consistent. Previously the cursor was always +past the end of the line if the line was empty. But it is far from Vi +compatible. It may also break some plugins or Vim scripts. Use with care! + +The patch was provided by Mattias Flodin. + + +POSIX compatibility *new-posix* +------------------- + +The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of +problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them +conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment +variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|. + +Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibilty: +- repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to + 'cpoptions' |cpo-X| +- a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added + the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--| +- when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the + '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&| +- The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and + CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now + accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a + digit. +- Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}. +- When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in + 'cpoptions'. +- Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number". +- Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified. +- In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line + above or below the new lines. +- Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command. +- When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the + inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines. +- Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each + matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line. +- The |:open| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but + redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do. +- Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external + command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe"). +- In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed. +- The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before. +- The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'. +- Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert. +- Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line. +- Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and + CTRL-T cannot be handled then. +- In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines. "%" prints all lines. +- In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started. +- Implemented the 'prompt' option. + + +Debugger support *new-debug-support* +---------------- + +The 'balloonexpr' option has been added. This is a generic way to implement +balloon functionality. You can use it to show info for the word under the +mouse pointer. + + +Remote file explorer *new-netrw-explore* +-------------------- + +The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used. +Deleting and renaming files is possible. + +To avoid duplicating a lot of code, the previous file explorer plugin has been +integrated in the netrw plugin. This means browsing local and remote files +works the same way. + +":browse edit" and ":browse split" use the netrw plugin when it's available +and a GUI dialog is not possible. + +The netrw plugin is maintained by Charles Campbell. + + +Define an operator *new-define-operator* +------------------ + +Previously it was not possible to define your own operator; a command that is +followed by a {motion}. Vim 7 introduces the 'operatorfunc' option and the +|g@| operator. This makes it possible to define a mapping that works like an +operator. The actual work is then done by a function, which is invoked +through the |g@| operator. + +See |:map-operator| for the explanation and an example. + + +Mapping to an expression *new-map-expression* +------------------------ + +The {rhs} argument of a mapping can be an expression. That means the +resulting characters can depend on the context. Example: > + :inoremap <expr> . InsertDot() +Here the dot will be mapped to whatever InsertDot() returns. + +This also works for abbreviations. See |:map-<expr>| for the details. + + +Visual and Select mode mappings *new-map-select* +------------------------------- + +Previously Visual mode mappings applied both to Visual and Select mode. With +a trick to have the mappings work in Select mode like they would in Visual +mode. + +Commands have been added to define mappings for Visual and Select mode +separately: |:xmap| and |:smap|. With the associated "noremap" and "unmap" +commands. + +The same is done for menus: |:xmenu|, |:smenu|, etc. + + +Location list *new-location-list* +------------- + +The support for a per-window quickfix list (location list) is added. The +location list can be displayed in a location window (similar to the quickfix +window). You can open more than one location list window. A set of commands +similar to the quickfix commands are added to browse the location list. +(Yegappan Lakshmanan) + + +Various new items *new-items-7* +----------------- + +Normal mode commands: ~ + +a", a' and a` New text objects to select quoted strings. |a'| +i", i' and i` (Taro Muraoka) + +CTRL-W <Enter> In the quickfix window: opens a new window to show the + location of the error under the cursor. + +|at| and |it| text objects select a block of text between HTML or XML tags. + +<A-LeftMouse> ('mousemodel' "popup" or "popup-setpos") +<A-RightMouse> ('mousemodel' "extend") + Make a blockwise selection. |<A-LeftMouse>| + +gF Start editing the filename under the cursor and jump + to the line number following the file name. + (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +CTRL-W F Start editing the filename under the cursor in a new + window and jump to the line number following the file + name. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +Insert mode commands: ~ + +CTRL-\ CTRL-O Execute a Normal mode command. Like CTRL-O but + without moving the cursor. |i_CTRL-\_CTRL-O| + +Options: ~ + +'balloonexpr' expression for text to show in evaluation balloon +'completefunc' The name of the function used for user-specified + Insert mode completion. CTRL-X CTRL-U can be used in + Insert mode to do any kind of completion. (Taro + Muraoka) +'completeopt' Enable popup menu and other settings for Insert mode + completion. +'cursorcolumn' highlight column of the cursor +'cursorline' highlight line of the cursor +'formatexpr' expression for formatting text with |gq| and when text + goes over 'textwidth' in Insert mode. +'formatlistpat' pattern to recognize a numbered list for formatting. + (idea by Hugo Haas) +'fsync' Whether fsync() is called after writing a file. + (Ciaran McCreesh) +'guitablabel' expression for text to display in GUI tab page label +'guitabtooltip' expression for text to display in GUI tab page tooltip +'macatsui' Mac: use ATSUI text display functions +'maxcombine' maximum number of combining characters displayed +'maxmempattern' maximum amount of memory to use for pattern matching +'mkspellmem' parameters for |:mkspell| memory use +'mzquantum' Time in msec to schedule MzScheme threads. +'numberwidth' Minimal width of the space used for the 'number' + option. (Emmanuel Renieris) +'omnifunc' The name of the function used for omni completion. +'operatorfunc' function to be called for |g@| operator +'printmbcharset' CJK character set to be used for :hardcopy +'printmbfont' font names to be used for CJK output of :hardcopy +'pumheight' maximum number of items to show in the popup menu +'quoteescape' Characters used to escape quotes inside a string. + Used for the a", a' and a` text objects. |a'| +'shelltemp' whether to use a temp file or pipes for shell commands +'showtabline' whether to show the tab pages line +'spell' switch spell checking on/off +'spellcapcheck' pattern to locate the end of a sentence +'spellfile' file where good and wrong words are added +'spelllang' languages to check spelling for +'spellsuggest' methods for spell suggestions +'synmaxcol' maximum column to look for syntax items; avoids very + slow redrawing when there are very long lines +'tabline' expression for text to display in the tab pages line +'tabpagemax' maximum number of tab pages to open for |-p| +'verbosefile' Log messages in a file. +'wildoptions' "tagfile" value enables listing the file name of + matching tags for CTRL-D command line completion. + (based on an idea from Yegappan Lakshmanan) +'winfixwidth' window with fixed width, similar to 'winfixheight' + + +Ex commands: ~ + +Win32: The ":winpos" command now also works in the console. (Vipin Aravind) + +|:startreplace| Start Replace mode. (Charles Campbell) +|:startgreplace| Start Virtual Replace mode. + +|:0file| Removes the name of the buffer. (Charles Campbell) + +|:diffoff| Switch off diff mode in the current window or in all + windows. + +|:delmarks| Delete marks. + +|:exusage| Help for Ex commands (Nvi command). +|:viusage| Help for Vi commands (Nvi command). + +|:sort| Sort lines in the buffer without depending on an + external command. (partly by Bryce Wagner) + +|:vimgrep| Internal grep command, search for a pattern in files. +|:vimgrepadd| Like |:vimgrep| but don't make a new list. + +|:caddfile| Add error messages to an existing quickfix list + (Yegappan Lakshmanan). +|:cbuffer| Read error lines from a buffer.

This +also fixes the problem that editing a compressed file didn't set these +options. + +The Netbeans interface was updated for Sun Studio 10. The protocol number +goes from 2.2 to 2.3. (Gordon Prieur) + +Mac: When starting up Vim will load the $VIMRUNTIME/macmap.vim script to +define default command-key mappings. (mostly by Benji Fisher) + +Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and +character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns) +Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using +"yyp". + +Mac: GUI font selector. (Peter Cucka) + +Mac: support for multi-byte characters. (Da Woon Jung) +This doesn't always work properly. If you see text drawing problems try +switching the 'macatsui' option off. + +Mac: Support the xterm mouse in the non-GUI version. + +Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc +event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a +file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung) + +Mac: When started from Finder change directory to the file being edited or the +user home directory. + +Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode. +To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values, +they are not supported by termcap/terminfo. + +GUI font selector for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki) + +Nicer toolbar buttons for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki) + +Mnemonics for the Motif find/replace dialog. (Marcin Dalecki) + +Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label +contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and +a bit less dependent on the X11 font management. + +Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work +when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See +|autocmd-buflocal|. (Yakov Lerner) + +For xterm most combinations of modifiers with function keys are recognized. +|xterm-modifier-keys| + +When 'verbose' is set the output of ":highlight" will show where a highlight +item was last set. +When 'verbose' is set the output of the ":map", ":abbreviate", ":command", +":function" and ":autocmd" commands will show where it was last defined. +(Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +":function /pattern" lists functions matching the pattern. + +"1gd" can be used like "gd" but ignores matches in a {} block that ends before +the cursor position. Likewise for "1gD" and "gD". + +'scrolljump' can be set to a negative number to scroll a percentage of the +window height. + +The |v:scrollstart| variable has been added to help finding the location in +your script that causes the hit-enter prompt. + +To make it possible to handle the situation that a file is being edited that +is already being edited by another Vim instance, the |SwapExists| event has +been added. The |v:swapname|, |v:swapchoice| and |v:swapcommand| variables +can be used, for example to use the |client-server| functionality to bring the +other Vim to the foreground. +When starting Vim with a "-t tag" argument, there is an existing swapfile and +the user selects "quit" or "abort" then exit Vim. + +Undo now also restores the '< and '> marks. "gv" selects the same area as +before the change and undo. + +When editing a search pattern for a "/" or "?" command and 'incsearch' is set +CTRL-L can be used to add a character from the current match. CTRL-R CTRL-W +will add a word, but exclude the part of the word that was already typed. + +Ruby interface: add line number methods. (Ryan Paul) + +The $MYVIMRC environment variable is set to the first found vimrc file. +The $MYGVIMRC environment variable is set to the first found gvimrc file. + +============================================================================== +IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7* + +":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it". + +Moved the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now. + +When doing completion for ":!cmd", ":r !cmd" or ":w !cmd" executable files are +found in $PATH instead of looking for ordinary files in the current directory. + +When ":silent" is used and a backwards range is given for an Ex command the +range is swapped automatically instead of asking if that is OK. + +The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an +iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in +allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows +matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that. + +Previously some options were always evaluated in the |sandbox|. Now that only +happens when the option was set from a modeline or in secure mode. Applies to +'balloonexpr', 'foldexpr', 'foldtext' and 'includeexpr'. (Sumner Hayes) + +Some commands and expressions could have nasty side effects, such as using +CTRL-R = while editing a search pattern and the expression invokes a function +that jumps to another window. The |textlock| has been added to prevent this +from happening. + +":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a +breakpoint at the cursor. + +It is now possible to define a function with: > + :exe "func Test()\n ...\n endfunc" + +The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and text was added to explain +a few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann. + +Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display +it. (Johannes Zellner) + +Mac and Cygwin: When editing an existing file make the file name the same case +of the edited file. Thus when typing ":e os_UNIX.c" the file name becomes +"os_unix.c". + +Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet) + +Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that +does not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd +autocommands. + +For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev) +- square brackets are recognized properly +- #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals +- Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized + +Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher) + +winnr() takes an optional "$" or "#" argument. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan +Lakshmanan) + +Added 's' flag to search(): set ' mark if cursor moved. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) +Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull) +Added 'c' flag to search(): accept match at the cursor. +Added 'e' flag to search(): move to end of the match. (Benji Fisher) +Added 'p' flag to search(): return number of sub-pattern. (Benji Fisher) +These also apply to searchpos(), searchpair() and searchpairpos(). + +The search() and searchpair() functions have an extra argument to specify +where to stop searching. Speeds up searches that should not continue too far. + +When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't +delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not +actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott) + +When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax. +(Michael Geddes) + +Support setting 'filetype' and 'syntax' to "aaa.bbb" for "aaa" plus "bbb" +filetype or syntax. + +The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly. + +VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag +upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes. +(Zoltan Arpadffy) + +For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number +of buffers. + +For recognizing the file type: When a file looks like a shell script, check +for an "exec" command that starts the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios +Zavras) + +Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that +digraphs still work when iconv is not available. + +When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that +buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer +list. + +Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it. +(NAKADAIRA Yukihiro) + +Win32: Vim was not aware of hard links on NTFS file systems. These are +detected now for when 'backupcopy' is "auto". Also fixed a bogus "file has +been changed since reading it" error for links. + +When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the +second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first +line is just "/*". + +When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there +mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the +edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to +the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The +used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much +more reliable. + +Unix: When editing a file through a symlink the swap file would use the name +of the symlink. Now use the name of the actual file, so that editing the same +file twice is detected. (suggestions by Stefano Zacchiroli and James Vega) + +Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding' +in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console, +"fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims +with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages. + +Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be +incremented/decremented each time. + +When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file. + +Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete. + +":redir @*>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard. Better check for +invalid characters after the register name. |:redir| + +":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable. +(Yegappan Lakshmanan) |:redir| + +":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file. Verbose +messages are not displayed then. The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to +log startup messages. + +":let g:" lists global variables. +":let b:" lists buffer-local variables. +":let w:" lists window-local variables. +":let v:" lists Vim variables. + +The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start +searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression +for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it. + +The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines. When +the line number is just below the last line the line is appended. + +g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of +bytes. + +Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip +":" between range and command name. (Peter winters) + +CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was +ignored. + +When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep +will result in a message with the source of the error. + +When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that +":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c". + +To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has +been added to |:substitute|. See |count-items|. + +In a |:substitute| command the \u, \U, \l and \L items now also work for +multi-byte characters. + +The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for +'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin" and "putty". + +The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason| +variable that specifies what triggered the event. |v:fcs_choice| can be used +to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do. + +Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the +possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character +and the * stands for the modifier code. +Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize +the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible +modifiers. + +getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified +window. + +Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) +Added the "%>" item to 'errorformat'. + +For 'errorformat' it was not possible to have a file name that contains the +character that follows after "%f". For example, in "%f:%l:%m" the file name +could not contain ":". Now include the first ":" where the rest of the +pattern matches. In the example a ":" not followed by a line number is +included in the file name. (suggested by Emanuele Giaquinta) + +GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available. Mix from patches by +Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb. + +Added ":scriptnames" to bugreport.vim, so that we can see what plugins were +used. + +Win32: If the user changes the setting for the number of lines a scroll wheel +click scrolls it is now used immediately. Previously Vim would need to be +restarted. + +When using @= in an expression the value is expression @= contains. ":let @= += value" can be used to set the register contents. + +A ! can be added to ":popup" to have the popup menu appear at the mouse +pointer position instead of the text cursor. + +The table with encodings has been expanded with many MS-Windows codepages, +such as cp1250 and cp737, so that these can also be used on Unix without +prepending "8bit-". +When an encoding name starts with "microsoft-cp" ignore the "microsoft-" part. + +Added the "customlist" completion argument to a user-defined command. The +user-defined completion function should return the completion candidates as a +Vim List and the returned results are not filtered by Vim. (Yegappan +Lakshmanan) + +Win32: Balloons can have multiple lines if common controls supports it. +(Sergey Khorev) + +For command-line completion the matches for various types of arguments are now +sorted: user commands, variables, syntax names, etc. + +When no locale is set, thus using the "C" locale, Vim will work with latin1 +characters, using its own isupper()/toupper()/etc. functions. + +When using an rxvt terminal emulator guess the value of 'background' using the +COLORFGBG environment variable. (Ciaran McCreesh) + +Also support t_SI and t_EI on Unix with normal features. (Ciaran McCreesh) + +When 'foldcolumn' is one then put as much info in it as possible. This allows +closing a fold with the mouse by clicking on the '-'. + +input() takes an optional completion argument to specify the type of +completion supported for the input. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +"dp" works with more than two buffers in diff mode if there is only one where +'modifiable' is set. + +The 'diffopt' option has three new values: "horizontal", "vertical" and +"foldcolumn". + +When the 'include' option contains \zs the file name found is what is being +matched from \zs to the end or \ze. Useful to pass more to 'includeexpr'. + +Loading plugins on startup now supports subdirectories in the plugin +directory. |load-plugins| + +In the foldcolumn always show the '+' for a closed fold, so that it can be +opened easily. It may overwrite another character, esp. if 'foldcolumn' is 1. + +It is now possible to get the W10 message again by setting 'readonly'. Useful +in the FileChangedRO autocommand when checking out the file fails. + +Unix: When open() returns EFBIG give an appropriate message. + +":mksession" sets the SessionLoad variable to notify plugins. A modeline is +added to the session file to set 'filetype' to "vim". + +In the ATTENTION prompt put the "Delete it" choice before "Quit" to make it +more logical. (Robert Webb) + +When appending to a file while the buffer has no name the name of the appended +file would be used for the current buffer. But the buffer contents is +actually different from the file content. Don't set the file name, unless the +'P' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. + +When starting to edit a new file and the directory for the file doesn't exist +then Vim will report "[New DIRECTORY]" instead of "[New File] to give the user +a hint that something might be wrong. + +Win32: Preserve the hidden attribute of the viminfo file. + +In Insert mode CTRL-A didn't keep the last inserted text when using CTRL-O and +then a cursor key. Now keep the previously inserted text if nothing is +inserted after the CTRL-O. Allows using CTRL-O commands to move the cursor +without losing the last inserted text. + +The exists() function now supports checking for autocmd group definition +and for supported autocommand events. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +Allow using ":global" in the sandbox, it doesn't do anything harmful by +itself. + +":saveas asdf.c" will set 'filetype' to c when it's empty. Also for ":w +asdf.c" when it sets the filename for the buffer. + +Insert mode completion for whole lines now also searches unloaded buffers. + +The colortest.vim script can now be invoked directly with ":source" or +":runtime syntax/colortest.vim". + +The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can +have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +The 'statusline' option and other options that support the same format can now +use these new features: +- When it starts with "%!" the value is first evaluated as an expression + before parsing the value. +- "%#HLname#" can be used to start highlighting with HLname. + +When 'statusline' is set to something that causes an error message then it is +made empty to avoid an endless redraw loop. Also for other options, such at +'tabline' and 'titlestring'. ":verbose set statusline" will mention that it +was set in an error handler. + +When there are several matching tags, the ":tag <name>" and CTRL-] commands +jump to the [count] matching tag. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +Win32: In the batch files generated by the install program, use $VIMRUNTIME or +$VIM if it's set. Example provided by Mathias Michaelis. +Also create a vimtutor.bat batch file. + +The 'balloonexpr' option is now |global-local|. + +The system() function now runs in cooked mode, thus can be interrupted by +CTRL-C. + +============================================================================== +COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7* + +Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and +probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version +and merge it back in. + +When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the +following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory. + +When compiling with EXITFREE defined and the ccmalloc library it is possible +to detect memory leaks. Some memory will always reported as leaked, such as +allocated by X11 library functions and the memory allocated in alloc_cmdbuff() +to store the ":quit" command. + +Moved the code for printing to src/hardcopy.c. + +Moved some code from main() to separate functions to make it easier to see +what is being done. Using a structure to avoid a lot of arguments to the +functions. + +Moved unix_expandpath() to misc1.c, so that it can also be used by os_mac.c +without copying the code. + +--- Mac --- + +"make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to its +final destination. (Raf) + +Put the runtime directory not directly in Vim.app but in +Vim.app/Contents/Resources/vim, so that it's according to Mac specs. + +Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and still +being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c file. + +When running "make install" the runtime files are installed as for Unix. +Avoids that too many files are copied. When running "make" a link to the +runtime files is created to avoid a recursive copy that takes much time. + +Configure will attempt to build Vim for both Intel and PowerPC. The +--with-mac-arch configure argument can change it. + +--- Win32 --- + +The Make_mvc.mak file was adjusted to work with the latest MS compilers, +including the free version of Visual Studio 2005. (George Reilly) + +INSTALLpc.txt was updated for the recent changes. (George Reilly) + +The distributed executable is now produced with the free Visual C++ Toolkit +2003 and other free SDK chunks. msvcsetup.bat was added to support this. + +Also generate the .pdb file that can be used to generate a useful crash report +on MS-Windows. (George Reilly) + +============================================================================== +BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7* + +When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr" +instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not +work. Use "LPT1" then. + +The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a +size. Use a default size of 10. + +This example in the documentation didn't work: + :e `=foo . ".c" ` +Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #. + +When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message. + +"L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account. + +Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even +when it doesn't support MDI. + +Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work. + +"2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white +space. + +Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use +SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched +for doesn't have an extension. + +When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character +may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the +cursor and not putting it back where it was. + +When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was +not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used +to make it work the old way. + +When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim +filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken. + +After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column. + +Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart +fields. (Walter Briscoe) + +On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De +Michele) + +Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a +CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams) + +When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was +ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5. + +Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control +characters. Also remove "'<,'>" when in Visual mode to avoid that it appears +twice. + +When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment +variables like for a regular command with a file argument. + +'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line +is indented too much. + +When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and +alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned +items. + +Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the +active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME. + +The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use +"cn" or "tw" as intended. + +When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break +after the last line while it's not there. + +Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when +resizing the GUI shell upon startup. + +Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a +string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored. + +When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would +contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre +and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name. + +strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh) + +GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives +just before it is invoked + +VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of +environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy) + +UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character +from the first character of the word. + +When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was +detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer(). + +When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index, +but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead. + +When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument +list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow +interrupting this. + +When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not +used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options +and global options remain unmodified. + +Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the +command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the +file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line. + +Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the +default value of 'isprint' was wrong. + +When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an +xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last +line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE. + +Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work. + +When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not +going to be used like a command. + +GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a +GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed. + +GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango. + +Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command +line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the +console version. + +Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because +there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2. + +When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header +files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the +directory for the library early in the link flags. + +With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was +literal text. Now it works for any pattern. + +When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still +cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction. + +When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead +buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up. + +Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes +problems for Terminal.app. + +When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or +end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains" +argument. + +When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting +has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come +back. + +When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there +was only one match. (Sergey Khorev) + +When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting +"cancel", would still give an error message. + +The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal +mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible. + +Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some +keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2). + +Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c + +In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is +selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break +is included, e.g., after "v$o". + +GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a +GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas) + +After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text. + +When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While +doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturb us, thus ignore it. (Scott +Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to +handle. Added handle_signal(). + +When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for +white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab. + +When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a +long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent() +being found in a library. + +When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command +may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text. + +Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding' +is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon) + +When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the +original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was +empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could +be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use +the values when recovering. + +":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file +message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that. + +Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and # +when building the ":drop" command. + +A comment or | just after a expression-backtick argument was not recognized. +E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment. + +"(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")" +does. Also breaks "das" on that dot. + +When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k" +moved the cursor to another column. + +When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double +quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed +fold. + +In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line +break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes". + +Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki) + +Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar +(Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki) + +When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was +not included. + +Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS. +Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests. + +When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above +the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position. + +Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>". + +When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode +(possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert +mode. (Peter Winters) + +"2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character. + +Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was +not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns(). +Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'". + +When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more +lines" overwrites the message. + +Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output. + +When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs +after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right +column in the wrong line. + +When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak" +starts with "sl". + +When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear +'paste' when starting the GUI. + +A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL. + +When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode. +Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a +mapping. + +Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato) + +":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible. + +When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice +in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed. + +When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an +empty $SHELL value. + +A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty +file. + +When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still +moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is. + +When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put +the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This +is Vi compatible. + +Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior. +Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The +$VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default. + +Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>' +flag to 'cpoptions' for this. + +Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi +compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this. + +When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi +leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in +'cpoptions' for this. + +Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append". + +Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to +be Vi compatible. + +When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still +request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the +shell and caused trouble there. + +When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would +still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan +Lakshmanan) + +It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is +sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command. + +When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines +from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim. + +When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak. + +Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use +unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka) + +":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile". + +The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they +are executed. Abiguous command names were not completed properly. + +Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that +indirectly invokes ":normal". + +Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment. Unset it +before invoking "diff". + +Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo". Also for ":set +&l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters) + +When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse +locator it doesn't work. Now switch off the mouse before selecting another +mouse model. + +When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed +characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event +is received. Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a +character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer. + +Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1*" to be used like +":1argadd *". Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit". + +Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US". + +Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make the appear as +real dashes. (Pierr Habouzit) + +Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'. Now "gq" +always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text. + +When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype +detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still +compressed. Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been +decompressed. Required for patterns that end in a "*". + +Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor the be moved +to the first line. That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`". +Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line. + +"gg=G" while 'modifiable' is off was uninterruptable. + +When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash. +Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte. + +In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor. Made "ins_at_eol" global +and reset it in nv_home(). + +Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`". Don't put quotes around +spaces inside backticks. + +After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected. Now +let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted. +This should be the most useful thing to do. + +":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect. Give +an error message when the argument isn't recognized. + +In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in +reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov) + +When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits. Now +call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo) +This breaks the thread stuff though, fixed by Ugo. + +GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right +after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap) Added +win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size. + +Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits. Now pass +column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others. Limits +mouse column to 10000. + +searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end. Check that +we find the same position again and advance one character. + +When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting +to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window. + +When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION +prompt the argument index was advanced anyway. + +When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous +substitute pattern. Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that. + +Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow. Also +when using smsg(). Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size +checks where invoking them + +":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=". Wild menu for help tags didn't +show backslashes. ":he :s\=" didn't work. + +When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded. + +GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or +removing it the window size may change. GTK sends us resize events when we +change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment. +Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and +'lines' to undo this. + +When using the GTK plug mechanism, resizing and focus was not working +properly. (Neil Bird) + +After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with +":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands. + +When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N +may cause the hit-enter prompt. Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented +character. Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer +so that mapping is done in the right mode. + +setbufvar() and setwinvar() did not give error messages. + +It was possible to set a variable with an illegal name, e.g. with setbufvar(). +It was possible to define a function with illegal name, e.t. ":func F{-1}()" + +CTRL-W F and "gf" didn't use the same method to get the file name. + +When reporting a conversion error the line number of the last error could be +given. Now report the first encountered error. + +When using ":e ++enc=name file" and iconv() was used for conversion an error +caused a fall-back to no conversion. Now replace a character with '?' and +continue. + +When opening a new buffer the local value of 'bomb' was not initialized from +the global value. + +Win32: When using the "Edit with Vim" entry the file name was limited to about +200 characters. + +When using command line completion for ":e *foo" and the file "+foo" exists +the resulting command ":e +foo" doesn't work. Now insert a backslash: ":e +\+foo". + +When the translation of "-- More --" was not 10 characters long the following +message would be in the wrong position. + +At the more-prompt the last character in the last line wasn't drawn. + +When deleting non-existing text while 'virtualedit' is set the '[ and '] marks +were not set. + +Win32: Could not use "**/" in 'path', it had to be "**\". + +The search pattern "\n" did not match at the end of the last line. + +Searching for a pattern backwards, starting on the NUL at the end of the line +and 'encoding' is "utf-8" would match the pattern just before it incorrectly. +Affected searchpair('/\*', '', '\*/'). + +For the Find/Replace dialog it was possible that not finding the text resulted +in an error message while redrawing, which cleared the syntax highlighting +while it was being used, resulting in a crash. Now don't clear syntax +highlighting, disable it with b_syn_error. + +Win32: Combining UTF-8 characters were drawn on the previous character. +Could be noticed with a Thai font. + +Output of ":function" could leave some of the typed text behind. (Yegappan +Lakshmanan) + +When the command line history has only a few lines the command line window +would be opened with these lines above the first window line. + +When using a command line window for search strings ":qa" would result in +searching for "qa" instead of quitting all windows. + +GUI: When scrolling with the scrollbar and there is a line that doesn't fit +redrawing may fail. Make sure w_skipcol is valid before redrawing. + +Limit the values of 'columns' and 'lines' to avoid an overflow in Rows * +Columns. Fixed bad effects when running out of memory (command line would be +reversed, ":qa!" resulted in ":!aq"). + +Motif: "gvim -iconic" opened the window anyway. (David Harrison) + +There is a tiny chance that a symlink gets created between checking for an +existing file and creating a file. Use the O_NOFOLLOW for open() if it's +available. + +In an empty line "ix<CTRL-O>0" moved the cursor to after the line instead of +sticking to the first column. + +When using ":wq" and a BufWriteCmd autocmd uses inputsecret() the text was +echoed anyway. Set terminal to raw mode in getcmdline(). + +Unix: ":w a;b~c" caused an error in expanding wildcards. + +When appending to a file with ":w >>fname" in a buffer without a name, causing +the buffer to use "fname", the modified flag was reset. + +When appending to to current file the "not edited" flag would be reset. +":w" would overwrite the file accidentally. + +Unix: When filtering text with an external command Vim would still read input, +causing text typed for the command (e.g., a password) to be eaten and echoed. +Don't read input when the terminal is in cooked mode. + +The Cygwin version of xxd used CR/LF line separators. (Corinna Vinschen) + +Unix: When filtering text through a shell command some resulting text may be +dropped. Now after detecting that the child has exited try reading some more +of its output. + +When inside input(), using "CTRL-R =" and the expression throws an exception +the command line was not abandoned but it wasn't used either. Now abandon +typing the command line. + +'delcombine' was also used in Visual and Select mode and for commands like +"cl". That was illogical and has been disabled. + +When recording while a CursorHold autocommand was defined special keys would +appear in the register. Now the CursorHold event is not triggered while +recording. + +Unix: the src/configure script used ${srcdir-.}, not all shells understand +that. Use ${srcdir:-.} instead. + +When editing file "a" which is a symlink to file "b" that doesn't exist, +writing file "a" to create "b" and then ":split b" resulted in two buffers on +the same file with two different swapfile names. Now set the inode in the +buffer when creating a new file. + +When 'esckeys' is not set don't send the xterm code to request the version +string, because it may cause trouble in Insert mode. + +When evaluating an expression for CTRL-R = on the command line it was possible +to call a function that opens a new window, resulting in errors for +incremental search, and many other nasty things were possible. Now use the +|textlock| to disallow changing the buffer or jumping to another window +to protect from unexpected behavior. Same for CTRL-\ e. + +"d(" deleted the character under the cursor, while the documentation specified +an exclusive motion. Vi also doesn't delete the character under the cursor. + +Shift-Insert in Insert mode could put the cursor before the last character +when it just fits in the window. In coladvance() don't stop at the window +edge when filling with spaces and when in Insert mode. In mswin.vim avoid +getting a beep from the "l" command. + +Win32 GUI: When Alt-F4 is used to close the window and Cancel is selected in +the dialog then Vim would insert <M-F4> in the text. Now it's ignored. + +When ":silent! {cmd}" caused the swap file dialog, which isn't displayed, +there would still be a hit-enter prompt. + +Requesting the termresponse (|t_RV|) early may cause problems with "-c" +arguments that invoke an external command or even "-c quit". Postpone it +until after executing "-c" arguments. + +When typing in Insert mode so that a new line is started, using CTRL-G u to +break undo and start a new change, then joining the lines with <BS> caused +undo info to be missing. Now reset the insertion start point. + +Syntax HL: When a region start match has a matchgroup and an offset that +happens to be after the end of the line then it continued in the next line and +stopped at the region end match, making the region continue after that. +Now check for the column being past the end of the line in syn_add_end_off(). + +When changing a file, setting 'swapfile' off and then on again, making another +change and killing Vim, then some blocks may be missing from the swapfile. +When 'swapfile' is switched back on mark all blocks in the swapfile as dirty. +Added mf_set_dirty(). + +Expanding wildcards in a command like ":e aap;<>!" didn't work. Put +backslashes before characters that are special to the shell. (Adri Verhoef) + +A CursorHold autocommand would cause a message to be cleared. Don't show the +special key for the event for 'showcmd'. + +When expanding a file name for a shell command, as in "!cmd foo<Tab>" or ":r +!cmd foo<Tab>" also escape characters that are special for the shell: +"!;&()<>". + +When the name of the buffer was set by a ":r fname" command |cpo-f| no +autocommands were triggered to notify about the change in the buffer list. + +In the quickfix buffer 'bufhidden' was set to "delete", which caused closing +the quickfix window to leave an unlisted "No Name" buffer behind every time. + +Win32: when using two screens of different size, setting 'lines' to a large +value didn't fill the whole screen. (SungHyun Nam) + +Win32 installer: The generated _vimrc contained an absolute path to diff.exe. +After upgrading it becomes invalid. Now use $VIMRUNTIME instead. + +The command line was cleared to often when 'showmode' was set and ":silent +normal vy" was used. Don't clear the command line unless the mode was +actually displayed. Added the "mode_displayed" variable. + +The "load session" toolbar item could not handle a space or other special +characters in v:this_session. + +":set sta ts=8 sw=4 sts=2" deleted 4 spaces halfway a line instead of 2. + +In a multi-byte file the foldmarker could be recognized in the trail byte. +(Taro Muraoka) + +Pasting with CTRL-V and menu didn't work properly when some commands are +mapped. Use ":normal!" instead of ":normal". (Tony Apuzzo) + +Crashed when expanding a file name argument in backticks. + +In some situations the menu and scrollbar didn't work, when the value contains +a CSI byte. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) + +GTK GUI: When drawing the balloon focus changes and we might get a key release +event that removed the balloon again. Ignore the key release event. + +'titleold' was included in ":mkexrc" and ":mksession" files. + +":set background&" didn't use the same logic as was used when starting up. + +When "umask" is set such that nothing is writable then the viminfo file would +be written without write permission. (Julian Bridle) + +Motif: In diff mode dragging one scrollbar didn't update the scrollbar of the +other diff'ed window. + +When editing in an xterm with a different number of colors than expected the +screen would be cleared and redrawn, causing the message about the edited file +to be cleared. Now set "keep_msg" to redraw the last message. + +For a color terminal: When the Normal HL uses bold, possibly to make the color +lighter, and another HL group specifies a color it might become light as well. +Now reset bold if a HL group doesn't specify bold itself. + +When using 256 color xterm the color 255 would show up as color 0. Use a +short instead of a char to store the color number. + +ml_get errors when searching for "\n\zs" in an empty file. + +When selecting a block and using "$" to select until the end of every line and +not highlighting the character under the cursor the first character of the +block could be unhighlighted. + +When counting words for the Visual block area and using "$" to select until +the end of every line only up to the length of the last line was counted. + +"dip" in trailing empty lines left one empty line behind. + +The script ID was only remembered globally for each option. When a buffer- or +window-local option was set the same "last set" location was changed for all +buffers and windows. Now remember the script ID for each local option +separately. + +GUI: The "Replace All" button didn't handle backslashes in the replacement in +the same way as "Replace". Escape backslashes so that they are taken +literally. + +When using Select mode from Insert mode and typing a key, causing lines to be +deleted and a message displayed, delayed the effect of inserting the key. +Now overwrite the message without delay. + +When 'whichwrap' includes "l" then "dl" and "yl" on a single letter line +worked differently. Now recognize all operators when using "l" at the end of +a line. + +GTK GUI: when the font selector returned a font name with a comma in it then +it would be handled like two font names. Now put a backslash before the +comma. + +MS-DOS, Win32: When 'encoding' defaults to "latin1" then the value for +'iskeyword' was still for CPxxx. And when 'nocompatible' was set 'isprint' +would also be the wrong value. + +When a command was defined not to take arguments and no '|' no warning message +would be given for using a '|'. Also with ":loadkeymap". + +Motif: When using a fontset and 'encoding' is "utf-8" and sizeof(wchar_t) != +sizeof(XChar2b) then display was wrong. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) + +":all" always set the current window to the first window, even when it +contains a buffer that is not in the argument list (can't be closed because it +is modified). Now go to the window that has the first item of the argument +list. + +GUI: To avoid left-over pixels from bold text all characters after a character +with special attributes were redrawn. Now only do this for characters that +actually are bold. Speeds up displaying considerably. + +When only highlighting changes and the text is scrolled at the same time +everything is redraw instead of using a scroll and updating the changed text. +E.g., when using ":match" to highlight a paren that the cursor landed on. +Added SOME_VALID: Redraw the whole window but also try to scroll to minimize +redrawing. + +Win32: When using Korean IME making it active didn't work properly. (Moon, +Yu-sung, 2005 March 21) + +Ruby interface: when inserting/deleting lines display wasn't updated. (Ryan +Paul) + +--- fixes since Vim 7.0b --- + +Getting the GCC version in configure didn't work with Solaris sed. First +strip any "darwin." and then get the version number. + +The "autoload" directory was missing from the self-installing executable for +MS-Windows. + +The MS-Windows install program would find "vimtutor.bat" in the install +directory. After changing to "c:" also change to "\" to avoid looking in the +install directory. + +To make the 16 bit DOS version compile exclude not used highlight +initializations and build a tiny instead of small version. + +finddir() and findfile() accept a negative cound and return a List then. + +The Python indent file contained a few debugging statements, removed. + +Expanding {} for a function name, resulting in a name starting with "s:" was +not handled correctly. + +Spelling: renamed COMPOUNDMAX to COMPOUNDWORDMAX. Added several items to be +able to handle the new Hungarian dictionary. + +Mac: Default to building for the current platform only, that is much faster +than building a universal binary. Also, using Perl/Python/etc. only works for +the current platform. + +The time on undo messages disappeared for someone. Using %T for strftime() +apparently doesn't work everywhere. Use %H:%M:%S instead. + +Typing BS at the "z=" prompt removed the prompt. + +--- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0c --- + +When jumping to another tab page the Vim window size was always set, even when +nothing in the layout changed. + +Win32 GUI tab pages line wasn't always enabled. Do a proper check for the +compiler version. + +Win32: When switching between tab pages the Vim window was moved when part of +it was outside of the screen. Now only do that in the direction of a size +change. + +Win32: added menu to GUI tab pages line. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +Mac: Added document icons. (Benji Fisher) + +Insert mode completion: Using Enter to accept the current match causes +confusion. Use CTRL-Y instead. Also, use CTRL-E to go back to the typed +text. + +GUI: When there are left and righ scrollbars, ":tabedit" kept them instead of +using the one that isn't needed. + +Using "gP" to replace al the text could leave the cursor below the last line, +causing ml_get errors. + +When 'cursorline' is set don't use the highlighting when Visual mode is +active, otherwise it's difficult to see the selected area. + +The matchparen plugin restricts the search to 100 lines, to avoid a long delay +when there are closed folds. + +Sometimes using CTRL-X s to list spelling suggestions used text from another +line. + +Win32: Set the default for 'isprint' back to the wrong default "@,~-255", +because many people use Windows-1252 while 'encoding' is "latin1". + +GTK: Added a workaround for gvim crashing when used over an untrusted ssh +link, caused by GTK doing something nasty. (Ed Catmur) + +Win32: The font used for the tab page labels is too big. Use the system menu +font. (George Reilly) + +Win32: Adjusting the window position and size to keep it on the screen didn't +work properly when the taskbar is on the left or top of the screen. + +The installman.sh and installml.sh scripts use ${10}, that didn't work with +old shells. And use "test -f" instead of "test -e". + +Win32: When 'encoding' was set in the vimrc then a directory argument for diff +mode didn't work. + +GUI: at the inputlist() prompt the cursorshape was adjusted as if the windows +were still at their old position. + +The parenmatch plugin didn't remember the highlighting per window. + +Using ":bd" for a buffer that's the current window in another tab page caused +a crash. + +For a new tab page the 'scroll' option wasn't set to a good default. + +Using an end offset for a search "/pat/e" didn't work properly for multi-byte +text. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) + +":s/\n/,/" doubled the text when used on the last line. + +When "search" is in 'foldopen' "[s" and "]s" now open folds. + +When using a numbered function "dict" can be omitted, but "self" didn't work +then. Always add FC_DICT to the function flags when it's part of a +dictionary. + +When "--remote-tab" executes locally it left an empty tab page. + +"gvim -u NONE", ":set cursorcolumn", "C" in the second line didn't update +text. Do update further lines even though the "$" is displayed. + +VMS: Support GTK better, also enable +clientserver. (Zoltan Arpadffy) + +When highlighting of statusline or tabline is changed there was no redraw to +show the effect. + +Mac: Added "CFBundleIdentifier" to infplist.xml. + +Added tabpage-local variables t:var. + +Win32: Added double-click in tab pages line creates new tab. (Yegappan +Lakshmanan) + +Motif: Added GUI tab pages line. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +Fixed crash when 'lines' was set to 1000 in a modeline. + +When init_spellfile() finds a writable directory in 'runtimepath' but it +doesn't contain a "spell" directory, create one. + +Win32: executable() also finds "xxd" in the directory where Vim was started, +but "!xxd" doesn't work. Append the Vim starting directory to $PATH. + +The tab page labels are shortened, directory names are reduced to a single +letter by default. Added the pathshorten() function to allow a user to do the +same. + +":saveas" now resets 'readonly' if the file was successfully written. + +Set $MYVIMRC file to the first found .vimrc file. +Set $MYGVIMRC file to the first found .gvimrc file. +Added menu item "Startup Settings" that edits the $MYVIMRC file + +Added matcharg(). + +Error message E745 appeared twice.

Was wiping +out a buffer that's still in a window. + +":hardcopy" resulted in an error message when 'encoding' is "utf-8" and +'printencoding' is empty. Now it assumes latin1. (Mike Williams) + +The check for the toolbar feature for Motif, depending on certain included +files, wasn't detailed enough, causing building to fail in gui_xmebw.c. + +Using CTRL-E in Insert mode completion after CTRL-P inserted the first match +instead of the original text. + +When displaying a UTF-8 character with a zero lower byte Vim might think the +previous character is double-wide. + +The "nbsp" item of 'listchars' didn't work when 'encoding' was utf-8. + +Motif: when Xm/xpm.h is missing gui_xmebw.c would not compile. +HAVE_XM_UNHIGHLIGHTT_H was missing a T. + +Mac: Moved the .icns files into src/os_mac_rsrc, so that they can all be +copied at once. Adjusted the Info.plist file for three icons. + +When Visual mode is active while switching to another tabpage could get ml_get +errors. + +When 'list' is set, 'nowrap' the $ in the first column caused 'cursorcolumn' +to move to the right. + +When a line wraps, 'cursorcolumn' was never displayed past the end of the +line. + +'autochdir' was only available when compiled with NetBeans and GUI. Now it's +a separate feature, also available in the "big" version. + +Added CTRL-W gf: open file under cursor in new tab page. + +When using the menu in the tab pages line, "New Tab" opens the new tab before +where the click was. Beyond the labels the new tab appears at the end instead +of after the current tab page. + +Inside a mapping with an expression getchar() could not be used. + +When vgetc is used recursively vgetc_busy protects it from being used +recursively. But after a ":normal" command the protection was reset. + +":s/a/b/n" didn't work when 'modifiable' was off. + +When $VIMRUNTIME includes a multi-byte character then rgb.txt could not be +found. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) + +":mkspell" didn't work correctly for non-ASCII affix flags when conversion is +needed on the spell file. + +glob('/dir/\$ABC/*') didn't work. + +When using several tab pages and changing 'cmdheight' the display could become +messed up.

(Zoltan Arpadffy) + +With a window of 91 lines 45 cols, ":vsp" scrolled the window. Copy w_wrow +when splitting a window and skip setting the height when it's already at the +right value. + +Using <silent> in a mapping with a shell command and the GUI caused redraw +to use wrong attributes. + +Win32: Using MSVC 4.1 for install.exe resulted in the start menu items to be +created in the administrator directory instead of "All Users". Define the +CSIDL_ items if they are missing. + +Motif: The GUI tabline did not use the space above the right scrollbar. Work +around a bug in the Motif library. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +The extra files for XML Omni completion are now also installed. +|xml-omni-datafile| + +GTK GUI: when 'm' is missing from 'guioptions' during startup and pressing +<F10> GTK produced error messages.

Now silently truncate the result. + +When using BS during Insert mode completion go back to the original text, so +that CTRL-N selects the first matching entry. + +Added the 'M' flag to 'cinoptions'. + +Win32: Make the "gvim --help" window appear in the middle of the screen +instead of at an arbitrary position. (Randall W. Morris) + +Added gettabwinvar() and settabwinvar(). + +Command line completion: pressing <Tab> after ":e /usr/*" expands the whole +tree, because it becomes ":e /usr/**". Don't add a star if there already is +one. + +Added grey10 to grey90 to all GUIs, so that they can all be used for +initializing highlighting. Use grey40 for CursorColumn and CursorLine when +'background' is "dark". + +When reading a file and using iconv for conversion, an incomplete byte +sequence at the end caused problems.

(James +Vega) + +When using ":map <expr>" and the expression results in something with a +special byte (NUL or CSI) then it didn't work properly. Now escape special +bytes. + +The default Visual highlighting for a color xterm with 8 colors was a magenta +background, which made magenta text disappear. Now use reverse in this +specific situation. + +After completing the longest match "." didn't insert the same text. Repeating +also didn't work correctly for multi-byte text. + +When using Insert mode completion and BS the whole word that was completed +would result in all possible matches. Now stop completion. Also fixes that +for spell completion the previous word was deleted. + +GTK: When 'encoding' is "latin1" and using non-ASCII characters in a file name +the tab page label was wrong and an error message would be given. + +The taglist() function could hang on a tags line with a non-ASCII character. + +Win32: When 'encoding' differs from the system encoding tab page labels with +non-ASCII characters looked wrong. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +Motif: building failed when Xm/Notebook.h doesn't exist.

Implemented for Win32 (Yegappan Lakshmanan). + +Added "throw" to 'debug' option: thow an exception for error messages even +whey they would otherwise be ignored. + +When 'keymap' is set and a line contains an invalid entry could get a "No +mapping found" warning instead of a proper error message. + +Motif: default to using XpmAttributes instead of XpmAttributes_21. + +A few more changes for 64 bit MS-Windows. (George Reilly) + +Got ml_get errors when doing "o" and selecting in other window where there are +less line shorter than the cursor position in the other window. ins_mouse() +was using position in wrong window. + +Win32 GUI: Crash when giving a lot of messages during startup.

(Zoltan Arpadffy) + +When 'virtualedit' includes "onemore", stopping Visual selection would still +move the cursor left. + +Prevent that using CTRL-R = in Insert mode can start Visual mode. + +Fixed a crash that occured when in Insert mode with completion active and a +mapping caused edit() to be called recursively. + +When using CTRL-O in Insert mode just after the last character while +'virtualedit' is "all", then typing CR moved the last character to the next +line. Call coladvance() before starting the new line. + +When using |:shell| ignore clicks on the tab page labels. Also when using the +command line window. + +When 'eventignore' is "all" then adding more to ignoring some events, e.g., +for ":vimgrep", would actually trigger more events. + +Win32: When a running Vim uses server name GVIM1 then "gvim --remote fname" +didn't find it. When looking for a server name that doesn't end in a digit +and it is not found then use another server with that name and a number (just +like on Unix). + +When using "double" in 'spellsuggest' when the language doesn't support sound +folding resulted in too many suggestions. + +Win32: Dropping a shortcut on the Vim icon did't edit the referred file like +editing it in another way would. Use fname_expand() in buf_set_name() instead +of simply make the file name a full path. + +Using feedkeys() could cause Vim to hang. + +When closing another tab page from the tabline menu in Insert mode the tabline +was not updated right away. + +The syntax menu didn't work in compatible mode. + +After using ":tag id" twice with the same "id", ":ts" and then ":pop" a ":ts" +reported no matching tag. Clear the cached tag name. + +In Insert mode the matchparen plugin highlighted the wrong paren when there is +a string just next to a paren. + +GTK: After opening a new tab page the text was sometimes not drawn correctly. +Flush output and catch up with events when updating the tab page labels. + +In the GUI, using CTRL-W q to close the last window of a tab page could cause +a crash. + +GTK: The tab pages line menu was not converted from 'encoding' to utf-8. + +Typing a multi-byte character or a special key at the hit-enter prompt did not +work. + +When 'virtualedit' contains "onemore" CTRL-O in Insert mode still moved the +cursor left when it was after the end of the line, even though it's allowed to +be there. + +Added test for using tab pages. + +towupper() and towlower() were not used, because of checking for +__STDC__ISO_10646__ instead of __STDC_ISO_10646__. (sertacyildiz) + +For ":map <expr>" forbid changing the text, jumping to another buffer and +using ":normal" to avoid nasty side effects. + +--- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0g --- + +Compilation error on HP-UX, use of "dlerr" must be inside a #ifdef. +(Gary Johnson) + +Report +reltime feature in ":version" output. + +The tar and zip plugins detect failure to get the contents of the archive and +edit the file as-is. + +When the result of 'guitablabel' is empty fall back to the default label. + +Fixed crash when using ":insert" in a while loop and missing "endwhile". + +"gt" and other commands could move to another window when |textlock| active +and when the command line window was open. + +Spell checking a file with syntax highlighting and a bad word at the end of +the line is ignored could make "]s" hang. + +Mac: inputdialog() didn't work when compiled with big features. + +Interrupting ":vimgrep" while it is busy loading a file left a modified and +hidden buffer behind. Use enter_cleanup() and leave_cleanup() around +wipe_buffer(). + +When making 'keymap' empty the b:keymap_name variable wasn't deleted. + +Using CTRL-N that searches a long time, pressing space to interrupt the +searching and accept the first match, the popup menu was still displayed +briefly. + +When setting the Vim window height with -geometry the 'window' option could be +at a value that makes CTRL-F behave differently. + +When opening a quickfix window in two tabs they used different buffers, +causing redrawing problems later. Now use the same buffer for all quickfix +windows. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +When 'mousefocus' is set moving the mouse to the text tab pages line would +move focus to the first window. Also, the mouse pointer would jump to the +active window. + +In a session file, when an empty buffer is wiped out, do this silently. + +When one window has the cursor on the last line and another window is resized +to make that window smaller, the cursor line could go below the displayed +lines. In win_new_height() subtract one from the available space. +Also avoid that using "~" lines makes the window scroll down. + +Mac: When sourcing the "macmap.vim" script and then finding a .vimrc file the +'cpo' option isn't set properly, because it was already set and restored. +Added the <special> argument to ":map", so that 'cpo' doesn't need to be +changed to be able to use <> notation. Also do this for ":menu" for +consistency. + +When using "/encoding=abc" in a spell word list, only "bc" was used. + +When 'encoding' and 'printencoding' were both "utf-8" then ":hardcopy" didn't +work. (Mike Williams) + +Mac: When building with "--disable-gui" the install directory would still be +"/Applications" and Vim.app would be installed. Now install in /usr/local as +usual for a console application. + +GUI: when doing completion and there is one match and still searching for +another, the cursor was displayed at the end of the line instead of after the +match. Now show the cursor after the match while still searching for matches. + +GUI: The mouse shape changed on the statusline even when 'mouse' was empty and +they can't be dragged.. + +GTK2: Selecting a button in the confirm() dialog with Tab or cursor keys and +hitting Enter didn't select that button. Removed GTK 1 specific code. (Neil +Bird) + +When evaluating 'balloonexpr' takes a long time it could be called +recursively, which could cause a crash. + +exists() could not be used to detect whether ":2match" is supported. Added a +check for it specifically. + +GTK1: Tab page labels didn't work. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) + +Insert mode completion: When finding matches use 'ignorecase', but when adding +matches to the list don't use it, so that all words with different case are +added, "word", "Word" and "WORD". + +When 'cursorline' and 'hlsearch' are set and the search pattern is "x\n" +the rest of the line was highlighted as a match. + +Cursor moved while evaluating 'balloonexpr' that invokes ":isearch" and +redirects the output. Don't move the cursor to the command line if msg_silent +is set. + +exists() ignored text after a function name and option name, which could +result in false positives. + +exists() ignored characters after the recognized word, which can be wrong when +using a name with non-keyword characters. Specifically, these calls no longer +allow characters after the name: exists('*funcname') exists('*funcname(...') +exists('&option') exists(':cmd') exists('g:name') exists('g:name[n]') +exists('g:name.n') + +Trigger the TabEnter autocommand only after entering the current window of the +tab page, otherwise the commands are executed with an invalid current window. + +Win32: When using two monitors and Vim is on the second monitor, changing the +width of the Vim window could make it jump to the first monitor. + +When scrolling back at the more prompt and the quitting a line of text would +be left behind when 'cmdheight' is 2 or more. + +Fixed a few things for Insert mode completion, especially when typing BS, +CTRL-N or a printable character while still searching for matches. + + + vim:tw=78:ts=8:ft=help:norl: |
