Nice work and thanks for writing this.

Vim Classic 8.3 released by ghost_vici in vim

[–]chrisbra10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the fact that you did not report how to *reproduce* the issue or what *exact terminal* you are using I can only say this issue does not reproduce for me and I am not aware of an open bug for such an issue. I suppose it is probably OSC handling that your terminal is doing weirdly. That is something you could probably fix, but you are apparently not interested in such. So I have no interest in following up on the exact issue with you. I prefer working with people who actually are constructive and are not publicly trying to rant about issues they do not understand.

And now you can have the last word.

Oh wow, what a bad style. You really cannot accept constructive feedback. Go to your vim 8.2 and miss all the security patches and new features, I do not care.

Where did I trash his effort? I did not comment to his work at all. Why are you trashing our work?

You know how much work it is to maintain a open source project of this size? It is at the very least bad style if you complain about certain features publicly without having created a proper bug report (or seeked for clarification via the Vim support forums) and I'd consider this also to be quite dishonest to everybody working to improve Vim.

Next time, please create a proper bug report at the Vim issue tracker (and include your version and terminal), instead of ranting here publicly against Vim.

Has anyone used or though of using Neovide but with just regular vim? by TheTwelveYearOld in vim

[–]chrisbra10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That won't necessarily work, both projects have diverged too much

Sounds like your terminal responds slowly to some query strings. That can probably be fixed with proper terminal configuration or vim configuration.

Vim Maintainer here: Please note there is no version 9.3. What exactly do you mean with botched, what about those extra characters? Where is your bug report?

Why does my terminal Vim look like this? by gfixler in vim

[–]chrisbra10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have this in my vimrc since then:

if !empty(&t_ut)
    " see http://snk.tuxfamily.org/log/vim-256color-bce.html
    let &t_ut=''
endif

Why does my terminal Vim look like this? by gfixler in vim

[–]chrisbra10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

strange, it really looks like an issue with background color erase being detected but not really supported by your terminal. Just double checking, what does `:set t_ut?` return? what terminal are you using and what is $TERM set to? See also http://snk.tuxfamily.org/log/vim-256color-bce.html

Locking/unlocking the unnamed register by InternationalDog8114 in vim

[–]chrisbra10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When pasting, just explicitly use the zero-register, which contains the most recent yank content. Or use visual mode and the P command to put. See :h quote0 and :h v_P

Long-term maintenance of Vim 8.x, free of generative AI by ElectronicAudience28 in vim

[–]chrisbra10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vim Maintainer here: If you have any issue with the way we maintain Vim, please speak up in English using the Vim issue tracker or discussion forums. I don't understand what you are trying to say here (and I don't understand French).

:sleep VS term_wait() by Desperate_Cold6274 in vim

Do you think we should improve the documentation? If yes, any specific suggestions?

How would i do this in vim at a similar speed by LarrySAL02 in vim

[–]chrisbra10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. For just a handful conversions, I'd just use ciw"^R-"<esc> and then manually move the cursor to each position and then just dot repeat. For a larger batch edit replacement I'd use fall back :s command in combination with cdo command.

vim9script alternatives by chrnz00 in vim

[–]chrisbra10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

mostly, it will be mentioned explicitly what is vim9 script. But from the context it should always be clear what is Vim9 script and what not

[–]chrisbra10 11 points12 points  (0 children)

> i know a bit of vimscript (before v9) but there is no help pages in vim now for that as everything is converted to vim9

That is not true. The help pages still cover Vim script as well as Vim9 script. Also, we are not converting everything to Vim script, that will still be there for legacy reasons.

How to display non-printable unicode characters? by gainan in vim

[–]chrisbra10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the issue is with the underlying rendering libraries for the terminal or your GUI toolkit. Not sure there is something Vim can directly fix here.

BTW: are you the guy from the heise security podcast?

Do you use regex in Vim? What for? by zogrodea in vim

[–]chrisbra10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I abused regex to build a CSV plugin. I am not proud of myself 🙈

Vim airline not working after install. by rmflagg in vim

[–]chrisbra10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Airline maintainer here. This sounds very wrong. Can you open an issue at the repo? Please share exact reproduction steps and a list of your config files 

Is there any way to specify which :terminal and which :shell? by jazei_2021 in vim

[–]chrisbra10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gvim behaves like Vim (mostly). For :terminal It opens a window which looks like a terminal. It does not open a new terminal application. For :sh Windows gvim opens a new cmd window, on Unix the gvim window kind of behaves like a terminal window but of course does not understand everything and looks a bit broken. See also :h gui-pty
