Sure, feel free to fill in their add form. But if you want Gmane to import the archives, don't fill in the add form; ask us to do it instead. Note that this might require more steps than a usual Gmane archives import, as ourproject.org is the list host, so we might have to ask them for a tarball of the archives. > Any objections/ideas? > > In any case, please could the mailing list maintainership be transferred > or extended to Vegard?

If Vegard wants to take over list co-adminship from Alessandro, that's fine with me; in fact, I think it's a good idea, since I have so little time for Vimpulse-related tasks. I suggest that he phone me at +1 (416) 992-3445 between 11AM and 11PM Eastern Standard Time (Toronto time) to set a password. Štěpán, if Vegard doesn't reply within two weeks, you can be my list co-admin instead. Phone me. Mailman requires that all list co-admins must know one shared password. I don't like that but don't want to bother writing to the Mailman folks. -- Jason Spiro: software/web developer, packager, trainer, IT consultant. I support Linux, UNIX, Windows, and more.

[Vimpulse] Bug: `q' and slime
by Alessandro Piras 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

q doesn't close slime documentation windows: example: in a lisp buffer, with point over a function name, hit C-c C-d C-f to get the function description, put the cursor on that window, and hit q.

Fwd: [Alessandro Piras] Re: [Vimpulse] Strnge behavior in Info (and probably other modes)
by Alessandro Piras 09 Jun '10

I forward the conversation i had with the author of nxhtml (and emacsw32). Alessandro Piras ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lennart Borgman <lennart.borgman(a)gmail.com> Date: 8 June 2010 22:48 Subject: Re: [Alessandro Piras] Re: [Vimpulse] Strnge behavior in Info (and probably other modes) To: Alessandro Piras <laynor(a)gmail.com> Hi Alessandro, Unfortunately I see there are a lot of problems in the implementation of vimpulse.el. The problem here is that they seem to treat local variables badly in several ways. I would suggest that they look over it and try to avoid making local variables for variables that are supposed to be global. Maybe it can be worked around but that would just make useless effort. Also a lot of things are changed when just loading the file vimpulse.el. Loading a library file should not change anything in normal cases. Otherwise I think the idea of something like vimpulse is nice (but I wonder if it perhaps would be better to work on the new vi mode instead and implement vimpulse there). The design of Viper is unfortunately a bit old and the new features in Emacs could make it much better. At least this is what the current mainainer says. (I use viper myself all the time yet.)

[Vimpulse] Bug: Visual selection and W at the end of the line
by Alessandro Piras 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

there are some problems with visual selection and W (and maybe other motions that go past the end of the line). Two examples: `|' represents the cursor. ----BoB ---- asdf asdf asdf |asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf ----EoB ---- vW~ ----BoB ---- asdf asdf asdf |ASDF Asdf asdf asdf asdf ----EoB ---- the A on the second line shouldn't be affected, but it is.

[Vimpulse] Bug: `.' doesn't work right with the `r' command
by Alessandro Piras 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Issuing `.' after a `r' command waits for a key to be pressed, e.g. issuing `rx', moving and issuing `.' won't replace the char under the cursor with 'x', but will wait for the user to type another character.

[implementations-list] [Vimpulse] Bug: C-h does viper-backward-char in dired (and probably other modes too)
by Alessandro Piras 30 May '10

30 May '10

I think it's preferable leaving C-h alone, for help's sake.

[implementations-list] [Vimpulse] Bug: Visual selection "r" command replaces newlines
by Alessandro Piras 29 May '10

Visual selecting text spread across multiple lines and doing r<some character> also replaces new-lines with <some character> __ Alessandro Piras

How am I supposed to close the help window? C-z q is already boring. Also, with the current changes in the mailing list etc, where should I send the messages? __ Alessandro Piras

Hi all, I unfortunately don't have enough time to remain on implementations-list nowadays. I've unsubscribed. I'm still list co-admin though, along with Alessandro. If you want to reach me, please write to the list and CC me directly. I've finally dealt with my entire email backlog. I hope to respond to all incoming vimpulse-related and list-related mails within a week or two in the future.
