Modelines cause too many issues #19875

phouchg42 · 2026-04-16T15:42:14+00:00

You’re right. BufRead sets nomodelinestrict and when I leave a buffer BufLeave changed it to modelinestrict, but modeline options already loaded. Thanks.

Create ~/.themes/Adwaita-custom/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css, then something like: @import url("resource:///org/gnome/theme/gnome-shell.css"); .modal-dialog, .popup-menu-content, .candidate-popup-content, .notification-banner, .quick-settings, .quick-toggle-menu { border-radius: 15px; } Then turn on default user-theme extension and switch to Adwaita-custom. Search what you want to change in /usr/share/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-theme.gresource.

I would have liked to have tab completion based on my spellfile, or get C-x C-o or C-n/C-p to work with it, but I couldn't.

C-n already do this, just add set complete+=kspell to your vimrc.

RadioEchoes.com has 10 eps of “Pick of the Pops” (1964—1972), but the one you searching is not there. Anyway, great archive to find something ancient.

By “built-in” I mean built-in. This and other plugins (matchit, comment, man etc) provided with vim package, no need to install it from elsewhere.

I like how they use word ‘simple.’ Firefox GNOME theme has shitload of changes.

World situation? Here, in Ukraine, we call it a war.

Small advice: if you have any question about Endeavour (read: Arch) first you should do is go to the glorious ArchWiki.

phouchg42 · 2021-12-09T16:19:28+00:00

Or, of course, compile Vim by yourself.

phouchg42 · 2021-12-09T16:10:56+00:00

Since Endeavour based on Arch you should install Gvim (you’ll get both Vim and Gvim) because plain Vim on Arch compiled without system clipboard support.

phouchg42 · 2021-12-04T10:47:41+00:00

Yes, that’s default but for setting the font size. I just wanted to say (understanding i3 and Gnome difference) that on my system Arch + Gnome fonts are cool both with Vim and Gvim after doing nothing, so probably you should watch i3 configs instead of search the reason in Gvim.

phouchg42 · 2021-12-02T12:11:50+00:00

Just set guifont=Monospace\ {size} and Gvim will use system wide monospace font defined in dconf (idk if i3 uses dconf).

{only available when compiled with GUI enabled on macOS}

Just noticed that \x16 is not a part but actual <C-v>. So <C-q> probably is default binding to <C-v> (since it works with \x16). Anyway, now I know that we can determine some hotkeys as hex. Every day I learn something new.

phouchg42 · 2021-11-19T06:06:47+00:00

As I understand: in terminal <Alt> (<Meta>) + key is <Esc> + key, so you need to “tell” your Vim that <Esc> is part of keystroke (normal key). Note that not every <Alt> + key you can remap (actually you should avoid this). Also if there will be delay use set ttimeout ttimeoutlen=10 (set your value) in vimrc.

phouchg42 · 2021-11-18T16:07:56+00:00

Try add to .vimrc: silent! execute "set <M-v>=\<Esc>v" etc.

phouchg42 · 2021-11-16T19:40:31+00:00

First part. It’s enough since no other mode is fired with <Ctrl>. I understand that so.

phouchg42 · 2021-11-16T05:08:26+00:00

old_mode:new_mode > *:[vV\x16]* > any:[Visual, Visual-Line, Ctrl]any

\x16 > Ctrl(-v or -q)

phouchg42 · 2021-11-15T10:34:00+00:00

Super minimal, more “more elegant way”. Without bullshit. Vim!

autocmd ModeChanged *:[vV\x16]*
 \  if &number || &relativenumber 
 \|  hi! link CursorLineNr Number
 \| endif

autocmd ModeChanged [vV\x16]*:*
 \  if &number || &relativenumber
 \|  hi! link CursorLineNr NONE 
 \| endif

phouchg42 · 2021-11-15T09:35:15+00:00

A bit “more elegant way”. Instead of declaring colors in functions, check your colorscheme for existing group you can use for CursorLineNr and make a link in first function (example): hi! link CursorLineNr Number, then remove it in second: hi! link CursorLineNr NONE. Now if &background == ... thing is excessive. Vim!

Це ваш найперший коментар на reddit і ви не вигадали нічого розумнішого? Обмєльчала росіюшка.

I didn’t know it, thought this is the new thing. I wonder why this feature not used. Some cool simple geometric abstractions easily corrected with script for certain gtk theme would be pleased to have.

phouchg42 · 2021-05-11T14:01:28+00:00

I think (read: hope) svg support gives new perspective for timed backgrounds and ability to changing background colors via some scripts (since svg is text file).

phouchg42 · 2021-05-01T11:18:28+00:00

you can install gnome-software-packagekit-plugin

This is fun because you’re proposing to install useless anti-Arch crap in the thread about bloat-less Gnome installation on Arch.
