I see, looking at the changeset[*], that this doesn't yet affect Info mode unless you uncomment the several lines of commented-out code starting with eval-after-load 'info in vimpulse-misc-keybindings.el. If you uncomment those lines, then in Info mode, what can you press to go back to the last Info node you read before? Surely "l", the "Last node" key, won't work.

[implementations-list] vimpulse interaction with cua increasing number feature
by Fabian Braennstroem 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Hello, I am using vimpulse for quite a while now ... and I like it a lot :-) For a while now, I am having difficulties with the interaction of vimpulse and cua. Basically, I am just using cua's feature to insert and increase numbers for the selected rectangle. [M-n] fills each line of the rectangle with increasing numbers using a supplied format string (prompt) Does anyone have a hint, how I could get this cua-feature to work with the new vimpulse? Maybe, there is already a vimpulse function, which can do the same!? Thanks in advance! Fabian

[implementations-list] style; VCS

Hello Vegard, some oh-so-helpful remarks from me again! 1. (defvar vimpulse-state-vars-alist '((vi-state . ((id . viper-vi-state-id) (basic-mode . viper-vi-basic-minor-mode) (basic-map . viper-vi-basic-map) [...] In lisp, '(<object> . <list>) is the same as '(<object> <list>) (with an exception of <list> being `nil' of course, if you want to be really anal), so you don't need some of those dots in there. 2. ;; Viper's definition lacks an indentation specification (defmacro viper-deflocalvar (var default-value &optional documentation) "Define VAR as a buffer-local variable. DEFAULT-VALUE is the default value and DOCUMENTATION is the docstring. The variable becomes buffer-local whenever set." (declare (indent defun)) `(progn (defvar ,var ,default-value ,(format "%s\n\(buffer local\)" documentation)) (make-variable-buffer-local ',var))) You don't need to redefine the whole function/macro only to add a docstring or indent spec. You can use the `function-documentation' and `lisp-indent-function' symbol properties for that, i.e. (put 'viper-deflocalvar 'function-documentation "Define VAR as a buffer-local variable. DEFAULT-VALUE is the default value and DOCUMENTATION is the docstring. The variable becomes buffer-local whenever set.") (put 'viper-deflocalvar 'lisp-indent-function 'defun) But actually, wouldn't it make more sense to send a patch for inclusion in Emacs core? Viper could definitely use some affection (btw you didn't reply to my related question in the last mail). Also, have you thought about moving Vimpulse to some usable VCS like Git? It would be soooo much more convenient to even just track the development, not mentioning possible contributions from others. Best wishes, Štěpán

[laynor at gmail.com:] - Added some small fixes, and promoted the experimental stuff to stable, as it seems to work well and not loading it caused problems. Thanks to everyone who has contributed with code and feedback. Vegard _________________________________________________________________ Nye Windows 7: PCen som passer for deg.
