To: address@hidden
Message-ID: <address@hidden>

Hello all,
I'm a recent vim convert and I have few lingering issues before I'm
a full
convert. When working with TCL files I prefer my comment lines to
look like
this.
;# comment line 1
;# comment line 2
;# comment line 3
;# comment line 4
In vim if I were to edit one of the comment lines and make it a very
long line
I could use the gq} command to reformat my comments. This in
combination with
the 'comments' setting will reformant the block of comments
inserting the ';#'
sequence at the beginning of each line.
Anyone have any hints on how I can accomplish the same thing in vile?
Thanks,
Wayne

Two parts -
a) settings
vile uses the comment-prefix pattern, which for this case would be set
something like (in your .vilerc file):
~with define-submode tcl
set comment-prefix='^\s*;# '
~endwith
That's the same as
define-submode tbl set comment-prefix='^\s*;# '
b) reformatting
That gq} looks like vile's
format-til next-paragraph
"format-til" is normally bound to ^A-f (control/A, f) and ^A-j.
With those bindings, you could do the analogous ^A, f, }.
Something like that (I'm usually using screen, which owns ^A...)

Thomas,
Excellent, thank you for the reply.
I'm not always diligent about ';#', some of my comments begin with
just '#' so
I ended up with this:
comment-prefix='^\s*;\?# '
Also note I was unable to use the 'set' command as you've specified
below, it
did work without the 'set' command however. I assume when defining
options
for submodes the 'set' command is unnecessary?
I tend to struggle with what requires escaping in vi-style regular
expressions.
At first I tried this '^\s*;?#'. Is there a definitive list or a
set of rules
that govern what should and should not be escaped?
Ahhh yes, I use screen all the time as well. Have you found a
convenient
replacement for ^a? Right now I'm being lazy and using '^a a'.
Thanks for the assistance and for maintaining the vile editor.

yes (sorry about that). The name=value stuff is parsed the same, but
there's no "set" keyword there.

expressions.

I usually refer to the "Regular Expressions" section in the help-file
(vile.hlp). Also, for debugging long patterns, I find it useful to
turn
visual-matches to reverse, and just try searching with a given
pattern:
set visual-matches=reverse
set nooverlap-matches
Ahhh yes, I use screen all the time as well. Have you found a

no - the keystrokes get complicated. I generally mark a line and
format
from the :-line (or if I'm doing something repetitive, I bind 'K' to
whatever's useful at the moment). The other people using vile tend
to use
the fancier key-bindings...
Thanks for the assistance and for maintaining the vile editor.

more to the point, ^A and ^X are bound to functions, and it would be
possible to bind another character to the same functions, e.g., 'K'
or 'g'.
A quick check seems to show this is working. I did
:describe-bindings
:bind-key cntl_a-prefix g
and the binding-list was updated (on the screen), and gf} formats a
paragraph.
(report bugs ;-)

:-) while i'm sure i/we tested that ability to rebind, it's
certainly been a while!

I use the following in my ~/.screenrc:
escape ^]]
as I often find applications which use ^a (thanks mostly to readline).
This is the same as the telnet escape, but I don't tend to use that
from within screen.

I can dimly recall it being tested...
