| scrooloose | OHHHHHHHH! damn it! Damn It! *DAMN IT!!* im using gvim in ubuntu and i cant get it to stop beeping at me ive gone :set noerrorbells and novisualbell but its trying to psych me out |
| quartlo | scrooloose, I had this same trouble, is noerrorbells in your .vimrc? |
| zevv | afaik vi has 3 different modes: command mode, edit mode and beeping mode |
| scrooloose | quartlo: its not in my vimrc, i just set it after vim started |
| quartlo | do you also :se nocompatible ? |
| scrooloose | yes |
| quartlo | manually? like noerrorbells? ie.. not in your vimrc file... |
| scrooloose | in my vimrc i just put noerrorbells in my vimrc as well but its still beeping </3 |
| quartlo | I had this trouble, and after experiments, I found that things like errorbells, history etc.. must go after :se nocompatible, once I did that everything worked. I don't know whether it is a bug, but I can reproduce it. That's why I offer it as advice |
| scrooloose | hmm |
| quartlo | But perhaps it is something different with you. |
| scrooloose | nocomatible is almost at the top of me vimrc |
| quartlo | then it is probably something else |
| scrooloose | i have the same problem with my computer at work (running win2k) |
| quartlo | at initial start up, do :se all that will let you see the initial setting of noerrorbells and lots of other things |
| scrooloose | k, looking now its off at startup so is visualbell (dunno if that matters here) |
| quartlo | softdrink, it shows noerrorbells, and yet it stills beeps at you :s/softdrink/so |
| scrooloose | correct spastic there arent any other types of 'bells' is there? |
| quartlo | I am looking at that |
| scrooloose | im getting beep if i eg press j while on the last line of the buffer s/beep/beeps/ is that an error bell? |
| quartlo | do you know about pressing ctrl-d to get wildcard matches in :h ? |
| scrooloose | yup |
| quartlo | I'm stumped, buy earplugs :) |
| scrooloose | ahahaha |
