vim

I've just upgraded all my FreeBSD machines to FreeBSD 15, and one thing I've noticed is that all my modelines are being ignored, on any of my files, from scripts to html files. I've spent ages now searching the internet and asking LLM's, to no avail, the only thing the LLM keeps mentioning is...

All is in the title... :)

I've wanted a vi/Vim-like binary editor that I could use on FreeBSD. With existing tools, hexdump -C only lets you view files, and vim -b isn't particularly well-suited for heavy editing. Using :%!xxd in vim allows you to edit in hexadecimal, but it doesn't allow you to insert or delete data...

Hello 👋 Warning: this is the first time I’ve used Vim, so please be indulgent if my configuration looks basic or a bit odd. Thank you. I use Geany to write C code and I’m very happy with it, but I ran into a task that Geany can’t handle: correcting spelling mistakes in comments and string...

Using FreeBSD 15.0 I can open the files from the command line. But if I right-click open with vim, or try to open from Caja, nothing happens. I right-clicked, went to "Open With Other Application" > "Use a Custom Command" and added vim. I right-clicked, went to Properties > "Open With" and...

Hi. I want to add flavor support to sysutils/vimpager so that it can be used with other flavors of editors/vim port. I have to use x11 flavor of vim port for clipboard support on my desktop. I couldn't do it myself because the port is finding vim binary and doesn't check if the flavors are...

Hi Guys! I see a similar topic about vi for writing novel. And I want to ask your experience to a every-day development process usin only vim as editor. My question are: 1. Project files tree, how do this in vim? I'm found plugin NERDTree, but not understand how create files, or maybe how...

I'm learning ex/vi as deeply as I can (little by little) and it's fascinating how powerful the little program is. I'm writing a novel, and yesterday I wrote for the first time using vi. Afterward I pasted the resulting fragment in MS Word, because my novel includes a complex index that you...

I log on to a publicly exposed sshd service using ssh -Xt -2 -p $SSHPORT $SSHUSERID@$SSHHOST.$SSHTLD from a MacBook terminal utility. The sshd service is running in a Freebsd-13 jail. Usually, once I am logged on I can run gvim and get an XQuartz editing window on my MacBook. However...

I have a one-line shell script that I submit to the background from the command line. I saved this as a file named np4178.job. When I look at np4178.job using more I see this: export HPNP=4178 ; socat TCP4-LISTEN:4178,bind=192.168.216.179,fork,reuseaddr,su=hp3000 SYSTEM:'sed -r "1s/^.{42}//"...

OS = FreeBSD-12.2p3 vim = 8.2.2263 In .vimrc I would like to change the guifont in vim on the mate desktop from this: :set guifont=Bitstream\ Vers\ Sans\ Mono\ 14\ cANSI; to this: :set guifont=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono\ 14\ cANSI However while the Bitstream setting works as documented...

I just upgraded to 11.2-RELEASE-p4 trying to solve an issue related to upgrading the ports collection. (earlier post) After the upgrades I tried to start 'vim' to edit a config file and get this error: Shared object "libdl.so.1" not found, required by "vim" How do I go about acquiring and...

Hi there, I have x11/guake installed but UTF-8 characters are not properly displayed in the terminal. More specifically, the characters in the editors/vim airline extension appear as question marks. Similar problem exists for the Tagbar extension of editors/vim as well. I have tested these...

Hi, I've got a strange problem with editors/vim-lite since I think yesterday (but it could be longer): Sometimes if I open vim it just pastes everything that it has saved from the last yank (copy in vim terms). I'm totally at a loss, why it's doing it. I had the same vim config for almost two...

Silly question, when I am using PuTTY to my FreeBSD box and go into vim, if I try to click, it does not copy-paste text as it used to. Instead, it sends vim into visual mode or does some other arbitrary command. How do I disable this and go back to default behavior? If its something in...

I hope I am putting this in the area. I am running FreeBSD 10.3 x86_64 ZFS with fully encrypted HDD. I want to put a CR-LF after every uppercase Q followed by a number, i.e. Q4, Q75, Q453, In vim, I have tried: :%s/Q[0-9]+/&\r/g As well as several variations. :%s/Q\d\d\d/&\r/g Vim...

Vim doesn't seem to apply textwidth instruction as expected (instead, the line just runs on to the end of the terminal window - so apparently applies no EOL/carriage return). I have confirmed that on start Vim reads ~/.vimrc (line numbers and other settings operate as configured in this file)...
