nmap ,n :set invhls:set hls?

What is the question mark used for after the hls. I tried to set wrap and linebreak in one command. It works; but seems like I kind of riggged it. Not sure if it’s proper.

cnoremap ,wl set invwrap invlinebreak:set wrap? linebreak?

There might be some cruft.

This changes the way cut/select/copy/paste works in xterm and vim. Also some apps like xpdf & xterm don’t play nice when the clipboard option is set. Play with the vim settings and the xterm settings.

Should have mentioned it up front. What does “SelectToClipboard”? If you select or highlight something in xterm; it copies it a clipboard so in some GUI app you can use ctrl-v instead of middle clicking. Yes, the mouse is bad.

I have learned a lot from the videos as well as the configuration files. Just thought I might pass along some things you or some of the viewers might find useful.

The pasting/putting here grabs from the clipboard; one and the same on windows not so in the *nix world (cut buffer, select buffer and clipboard). However the text doesn’t get fouled up when pasting or putting. So, this might be quite similar to your “paste mapping”. I think it has some additional nice touches (putting before or after a location; putting over a visual selection). I should play with paste more before making that statement. :help put for details.

” Fun with buffers.

” If you know the buffer number:
cnoremap ,ob tab sbuffer

On a side note to all; I have buffers redirected to tabs; even from the buffer list. I kind of got hooked on tabs (omg).

“Switch buffer to tabs. :help switchbuf for details.
set switchbuf=usetab,newtab

Missing the video Derek. Hope things are going well.

There are a few things to try, but first I just have to get this out of the way… you wrote that you do ‘+*’, which is two commands and the first one (+) will put the cursor one line downward. If you are actually doing that, and it wasn’t just a misprint, then don’t :) All you want to hit is ‘*’.

Now, for the other bits…

- Try typing ‘:set hls?’ and see what happens. If it says ‘nohlsearch’ then even though you’ve set ‘hlsearch’ in your vimrc, something else is turning it off.
- Try explicitly typing ‘:set hls’ and then hit ‘*’. Does it highlight now? Again, it’s getting turned off by something.

Give that stuff a go and see what happens. If you suspect that something else is resetting it for you, then type ‘:verbose set hls?’ and it should tell you what file was responsible for setting it last (you might have to restart Vim to get a “fresh” setting since you probably set it from the command line manually). See ‘:help set-verbose’ for more information on that one.

Thanks in advance..

I also use the first five lines in my vimperator, mutt, and vifm configs.

I probably wouldn’t have been able to help much though. The normal behaviour of ‘x’ has never seemed surprising. At the end of the line, the cursor moves because without virtual edit, you can’t go beyond the end of the line so the cursor must be moved. Virtual edit is an enhancement to Vim to let it do different stuff, not to correct “incorrect” behaviour. But if it works for you, then cool!
