now always pop up veritcally, which made sense to me considering their
column width and the average size of screens these day), touched up
the readme and some missing keyboard toggles, added a few more formats
relevant to emmet, and gave variables default values in the configs so they
don't need to be declared (default values are stated in the README)
file manager's theme, settings and keyboard mappings. Played around with
the keyboard mappings in general quite a bit more. All the toggles
output what they're doing now, though not their actual status in most
cases at this point, and only in normal mode. The bottom scrollbar is
now part of the gui scrollbar toggle as it turned out it can be
auto-disabled when the content isn't wide enough anyway. I realized
a bad hack to get visual paste ontop to work without replacing the paste
buffer with whatever it was pasting over meant that pasting at the start
and end of the line would leave issues with spacing, so I found a plugin
that fixed the problem the right way and hooked things up through that..
Whether syntax checking is enabled by default or needs to be toggled on
can now be set in the vimrc. Some small bugfixes and improvements were
also made.
Nerdtree was dropped in favour of the much better vimfiler. The status
bar was reconfigured to display more information including the current
number of errors. A script was added that can generate a tags file from
/usr/include for more robust syntax checking in C. The update script was
updated to hopefully handle the removal of nerdtree when it updates the
submodules... Syntax highlighting has been improved in numerous
directions including more definitions as well as tweaked colours.
Keybindings were tweaked again and new ones added for the new features.
The paste function was incorrectly using buffer 0 instead of the current
buffer when in visual mode, but this is no longer the case.
Autocompletion has been improved quite a bit and the keybindings
tweaked. A bunch of general fixes and tidying up was done.
available. Updated the README. Improved the theme by adding a bunch
of syntax highlighting definitions (mostly rooted in html, though
a bunch of other languages base their colours on it), as well as
tweaking visual selection to longer invert on the block with the cursor,
and parenthesis matching to look the same at both ends. Added a plugin
that improves the theme and adds some keyboard shortcuts to markdown,
which is what the README.md files in Github are written in. I realized
that the h,j,k,l shortcuts equivalent to the ones with arrow keys I'd
added were overwriting other shortcuts with the shift combinations, so
I removed those and the ctrl-ones for consistency. The diff shortcuts
weren't intuitive or easy on the hands, so I tried something else and
I think it works much better now (check vim/keyboard.vim). An update
script has also been added to simplify updating submodules; I'm not
completely clear as to whether following this method will properly
update the submodules in certain conditions like when one is removed,
but this should add new ones and update the existing ones after pulling
from the repo.
the README, made <backspace> delete the selection and cursor character
in visual and normal modes respectively, and set \| to add the currently
selected word to the local dictionary for spellcheck (remembering that
\\ displays a list of correct spellings)
