ex: No file on this line
by George V. Reilly 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

I've managed to do this several times, but I don't know yet how to repeat it. I know about `C-h l', but I haven't spotted the pattern. After making various mistakes that I've canceled with C-g and/or C-], I get Ex into a state where I can't type SPC after `:e'. As soon as I hit SPC, instead of offering the directory path of the last file, I get a "No file on this line" error. The only way that I've found so far of fixing it is to quit Emacs and start a fresh process, which is no fix at all. -- /George V.

vimpulse bug: visual-line does not select final newline
by Craig Tenney 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Hello, Using a recent snapshot of vimpulse (0.4+git, downloaded 08/2010) in Emacs 23.2.1, it appears that linewise-visual mode (V) often fails to select the trailing newline in the last line. This causes unexpected results (i.e. not like vim) when used with the delete (d) and yank (y) commands (and probably others). Similar behavior can be observed using characterwise-visual mode (v) (e.g. '0v$' also fails to select the trailing newline). For example, starting with: one two three and the cursor on line 'two', pressing 'Vd' results in: one three rather than the expected: one three Similarly, pressing 'Vyp' results in: one ttwowo three rather than: one two two three Similar oddities result for variations with multiple lines, using characterwise-visual mode, et cetera. I'm assuming this is tied up in the visual-expand/contract-functions and associated needs-newline variables. Thank you to the developers and contributors to vimpulse. Finding it has allowed me to consider using Emacs. Regards, Craig

Equivalent of 'hidden'
by George V. Reilly 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

I used VIP then Viper regularly in the late '80s and throughout most of the '90s, until Vim got good enough to be my primary editor. I haven't used Viper since Emacs 19 and I'm trying Vimpulse for the first time. Is there an equivalent to Vim's 'hidden' option? Every time I use C-^ to switch to the alternate buffer, I'm getting an annoying message about "Buffer foo is modified. Discard changes? (yes or no)". If I switch with :b or "C-x b", I don't get that message. Vimpulse (or Viper?) doesn't seem to work terribly well with Aquamacs 2.1. They work a lot better with Emacs 23.2 from http://emacsformacosx.com/. The most obvious thing being that I have to explicitly do M-x viper-mode, despite having (require 'vimpulse) in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el. Thanks. -- /George V.

[Vimpulse] "Not enough arguments to format string"
by Stephen Bach 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hi, There's some code in vimpulse-range and a couple other functions to save and restore the message stored in the echo area. It's got a small bug because of this behaviour of (current-message): (message "%%s message) --> displays "%s message string" (progn (message "%%s message string") (current-message)) --> returns "%s message string" (progn (message "%%s message string") (message (current-message))) --> (error "Not enough arguments for format string") Seems like the string returned by current-message should be escaped for % before redisplay.

Viper ESC in terminal Emacs
by Stephen Bach 08 Aug '10

08 Aug '10

Hi, Has anyone on this list managed to get a zero-delay viper ESC working in terminal Emacs? Works fine for me in a windowing system; ESC promptly switches from insert mode to normal mode. But from a terminal there is a highly annoying ~1 second delay after pressing ESC. In GNU Emacs 22 I believe I was able to solve this with: (setq-default viper-ESC-keyseq-timeout 0) This doesn't hold for Emacs 23. Notably, viper-ESC-keyseq-timeout has changed from a variable to a function in more recent versions of Viper. But even the following doesn't help: (defadvice viper-ESC-keyseq-timeout (around fix-viper-terminal-ESC activate) (setq ad-return-value 0)) My investigation seems to show that the delay happens before the toplevel viper-intercept-ESC-key is even called... ESC is a prefix key in non-Viper Emacs, so that could be the culprit, but ostensibly its status as a prefix key is shadowed by enabling Viper. Any ideas? Thanks, Stephen

[Vimpulse] Bug with cw on whitespace
by Stephen Bach 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hi, The "cw" key sequence doesn't seem to consume extra whitespace anymore. For example: _ text If the cursor is "_", and you type dw, all whitespace up to "text" is removed. If you type cw, only a single space is removed. Not too much of a nuisance, but something that would be nice to have working. Thanks :-)

Re: vimpulse C-o not using global marks ?!?

TheLonelyStar <nabble2(a)lonely-star.org> writes: > Hi, > > I use vimpulse. When I do C-o it jumps to the last mark in the current file. > Can i somehow make it use global marks? Hi, let's have this discussion on the vim-emulation list, which I am hereby Cc:-ing (and please remove the help list from the Cc: header when replying; I don't think most people here are interested in this). I consider this to be a problem, too, and even started to implement it before some time, but as I almost never use it and nobody else seemed to ever mention this, it remained a stub, i.e. it sort-of works, but a bit funnily and not quite as in Vim (yet). Here is what I came up with (you can apply the diff provided you use the Git repository, not the single vimpulse.el file): Štěpán

Re: Add vimpulse-want-quit-like-Vim customization variable.
by Štěpán Němec 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Vegard, I don't understand purpose or motivation of this change (commit af7bc2369c72a9), could you please comment (and could you (and others whom it may concern) *please* add such comments to the commit messages as well)? Apart from the fact that I don't get why you made the change in the first place, I see other issues as well: Viper already includes a :quit command, which is about as faithful to the Vim behaviour as the trivial version used by Vimpulse.[1] Now you add a variable whose name suggests that it will be "like Vim", but it actually triggers the Vimpulse behaviour... [I don't care other than that it's weird (I don't use any Ex commands at all).] Thanks, Štěpán [1] Actually, each of the commands, i.e. `ex-quit' on one hand and the Vimpulse version on the other, pick a different part of what Vim's :quit command does.

surround.vim vimpulse extension
by Tim Harper 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Did anybody else use surround.vim? I've missed it ever since I switched to Emacs. Finally, last night, I got up the energy to hack something together: http://gist.github.com/487846 Things that work: * Changes surrounding enclosures * add surrounding enclosures * delete sounding enclosures Not working yet: * Surround region with a tag * non-visual surrounding of regions (IE: ysiw") * repeat surround modifications I'm not extremely happy with my approach on how I'm looking into the delete/change commands. Basically, I'm hijacking them in doing an advise (as in defadvice) approach. Feedback welcome, but mostly, I hope this is enjoyed by somebody else. Tim

[Vimpulse] Bug with yE
by Stephen Bach 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hi, In the line below, try doing yE with the cursor on the + sign and then pasting somewhere: +foo bar Vimpulse should only grab +foo, but it grabs bar as well. If you remove the +, it grabs only foo as expected.
