| bytecolor | how would you open a file a root from within vim? like 'sudo vim file' on the cl? *as root |
| Tonren | How can I run some commands in my .vimrc ONLY if a file is of a certain type? |
| rjbs | :help ftplugin |
| Tonren | Thanks! |
| majd | hey, is there like a vim color scheme generator? |
| bytecolor | what ever do you mean? |
| ion_bidon | thank you all; I have finished the first version of the scrit buffers search; I'll fix the bugs and upload another day s/scrit/script |
| majd | bytecolor, i'm trying to modify an existing color scheme |
| bytecolor | majd, look at other syntax files I'm not good at editing them myself, I poke around and find one I like for a particular language |
| majd | how do i change the background color? i can't find an option for it it just says =dark |
| SAS_Spidey01 | you can set background= to dark or light as far as I know |
| majd | well different color schemes have different light or dark backgrounds.... |
| SAS_Spidey01 | I think motif/athena gvim might have a -bg option, (Ii rarly use gvim) probably would be best to look at the colo file then |
| Chap00lin | if ~/.vimrc is a symlink, will Vim SOURCE the target file of that symlink when Vim is started up? |
| SAS_Spidey01 | man 7 symlink |
| tpope | not all of us have that manpage what SAS_Spidey01 means to say is, yes, that's how symlinks work |
| SAS_Spidey01 | Well, my systems man 7 is 'Misc' hehe |
| tpope | yes that's standard but documenting symlinks is not sounds like something gentoo users might need |
| SAS_Spidey01 | my symlink(7) is dated 1994.... but I do see your point very well |
| Chap00lin | symlinks are gentoo usage? and why is Spidey walkin around with an eyes-shrouding overhead wedgy? |
| SAS_Spidey01 | I've never had a problem using symlinks to files with any app, except file managment tools with documented switches wedgy? haha |
| Chap00lin | XD |
| SAS_Spidey01 | I eat manuals for breakfast... |
| Chap00lin | mi likesess ssymlinkz .vimrc is sourced if found in ANY current working directory?? |
| jesusphreak | Hello, I was trying to install a theme, and it says to place it in ~/.vim/colors/ my Mac does not allow folders with a leading . what am I supposed to do? |
