| jadams | not really about function, but is there a way to have a translucent window background in gvim? I like gvim, but I always found it pleasant to code in vim in a translucent-ish terminal |
| frogonwheels | don't think so - might be a patch hanging around |
| jadams | sigh...guess I could look at how xchat or gnome-terminal's translucency work much later... how about aliasing 'sp' to 'newtab' to avoid re-learning...how would I do that? trying to fiddle with my interface. I did just use buffers and mapped <ctrl>+j/k to move up/maximize and move down/maximize so I've remapped those suckers to tabn and tabp, and if I can just remap sp I'll be set |
| frogonwheels | jadams: There's been a deliberate move NOT to allow redefining of : commands - |
| jadams | dadgum it...would be so nice for me to get to do it. I would know exactly what had happened, because it would be deliberate |
| frogonwheels | You can always do something like :au BufRead * exe "norm \<c-w>T" probably need some checks around it. |
| jadams | hrm |
| Oliazk | i have a question .......... when i am editing in vim for some reason when i go to save or leave the insert mode it repeats stuff like the last key pressed or the last set of info i entered and i dont know why |
| frogonwheels | Oliazk: Either you press '.' -or you typed a number before going into insert mode. Oliazk: try 2itest<esc> |
| Oliazk | ok |
| jadams | wtf seriously, what would be a better solution than having to type 'tabnew' all the time? How do I alias that to something shorter? |
| Oliazk | yup that duplicates it i guess i have to avoid pushing numbers before i pres i |
| frogonwheels | very good idea. eg 100iTest<esc> |
| scrooloose | jadams: you could go :cmap sp^M tabnew^M to avoid relearning |
| Oliazk | though it is interesting when i get a 2 x 20 |
| scrooloose | ;) |
| jadams | scrooloose: thank you... |
| Oliazk | interesting very interesting |
| jadams | I hope :) |
| Oliazk | what uses does this repeat thing have |
| jadams | I've actually done this: map <C-O> tabnew *there's a space at the end |
| frogonwheels | apart from being general (eg 23dd) you can do things like 80i-<esc> |
| scrooloose | jadams: you could also go :cabbrev sp tabnew (requires u to push space after the sp) |
| Oliazk | that could also explain stuff disapearing |
| frogonwheels | to insert a row of - |
| Oliazk | i really appreciate the info on my problem there thx |
| jadams | scrooloose: I like cmap just fine it's very good |
