[00:03]<vyavjzy_>-there hasto be a way to stop vim from auto yanking text when in insert mode
[00:03]<vyavjzy_>-anyone know how?
[00:03]<cnzrjvx>+auto yanking?
[00:04]<vyavjzy_>-well say I yank something into the default register
[00:04]<vyavjzy_>-I go into insert mode, and my cursor goes over a char
[00:04]<vyavjzy_>-it automatically gets replaced in my yank register
[00:04]<vyavjzy_>-drives me nuts
[00:05]<vyavjzy_>-I know I can use a non-default register however typing "xyy
[00:05]<vyavjzy_>-is tedious
[00:06]<cnzrjvx>+hmm, odd, /me shrugs
[00:07]<vyavjzy_>-odd? its default vim behavior
[00:07]<vyavjzy_>-and it blows ;-P
[00:07]<vyavjzy_>-I have a hissy shit fit when I realize all that visual buffer I yanked gets replaced by 'a'
[00:09]<-- svgvsdyzgjvr xrs>/dev/null")
[00:11]<dnvrcjsd>+victori: you want it to NOT copy when you highlight it?
[00:13]<dnvrcjsd>+VictorI_: I don't even know HOW to highlight stuff in insert mode :)
[00:13]<dnvrcjsd>+how are you highlighting it?
[00:13]<dnvrcjsd>+what keypresses?
[00:13]<vyavjzy_>-I don't even mean to highlight it
[00:13]<vyavjzy_>-no no, the cursor just goes over a character
[00:13]<dnvrcjsd>+umm
[00:14]<dnvrcjsd>+doens't copy for me
[00:14]<vyavjzy_>-and it autoyanks it on me
[00:14]<dnvrcjsd>+that is just craziness
[00:14]<dnvrcjsd>+I have never heard of that
[00:14]<vyavjzy_>-I just tried it now, does not do it in gvim
[00:14]<vyavjzy_>-hmm , but I keep running into it with vim via ssh session
[00:14]<dnvrcjsd>+what vim, what ssh client?
[00:14]<dnvrcjsd>+what termcap, what os?
[00:16]<lnjnnzm>-That sounds very very odd behaviour.. Most certainly not the default..
[00:17]<vyavjzy_>-ssh / gnome-term
[00:17]<vyavjzy_>-vt100 I suppose?
[00:20]<dnvrcjsd>+VictorI_: still -- need more info
[00:20]<dnvrcjsd>+what OS on the other end
[00:20]<dnvrcjsd>+and ... echo the term
[00:20]<dnvrcjsd>+to be sure
[00:20]<vyavjzy_>-freebsd
[00:21]<dnvrcjsd>+and -- what version of vim?
[00:21]<lnjnnzm>-Out of interest.. By what method do you "put the cursor over a character"..?
[00:21]<lnjnnzm>-Some sort of move command? Arrow keys? Mouse click? Anything?
[00:21]<vyavjzy_>-i
[00:21]<vyavjzy_>-and move around with arrows
[00:21]<dnvrcjsd>+and whatever you last moved over is in the buffer?
[00:22]<vyavjzy_>-yes
[00:22]<lnjnnzm>-Do all 4 arrow keys do that?
[00:22]<dnvrcjsd>+going from fis|h monkey to fish| monkey would put h in the buffer -- correct?
[00:22]<vyavjzy_>-yes
[00:23]<dnvrcjsd>+That isn't a damn vim behavoir.
[00:23]<dnvrcjsd>+that is wierd.
[00:23]<dnvrcjsd>+What version of vim?
[00:23]<dnvrcjsd>+and -- do all directional movements do the same thing?
[00:23]<vyavjzy_>-7
[00:23]<vyavjzy_>-.17
[00:24]<dnvrcjsd>+7.17 -- that is current
[00:24]<vyavjzy_>-yep
[00:25]<lnjnnzm>-We're still awaiting answers.. a: is it only arrow-key movement, or any movement..? and b: is it all directions, or just one?
[00:27]<vyavjzy_>-arrow key movement
[00:27]<lnjnnzm>-All dirs.?
[00:28]<lnjnnzm>-What if you press <Home> or <End> or something?
[00:29]<vyavjzy_>-bbl for a sec, let me use vim some more see if I can reproduce the behavior
[00:29]<vyavjzy_>-need to get back to work ;-P
[01:16]<prrrru>+hi all. anyone report problems with ftp with 7.0 under windows? ?
[01:21]<prrrru>+another question: im editing an ftp:// file - i try to split diff with a local file, i get: "E97: cannot create diffs". any ideas?
[01:22]<prrrru>+works fine with local files
[01:29]<dnvnffyus>-i am crating a quick macro doing a search, and I want it to continue even if the search returns no hits... how can I tell it to ignore errors somehow?
[01:37]<vzjgscd>+How can I make a new gvim window (ie, a new X window) that is shared with a currently running gvim (eg, so when I click on the buffers menu button it is shared between the two)?
[01:44]<auga2fjaanz>+Vronsky: --remote
[01:44]<auga2fjaanz>+vim --help will show you more options
[01:46]<prrrru>+if i'm echoing something to the screen and want to make it pause so i actually see it, how would i?
[01:47]<prrrru>+'s ok i got it - sleep
[01:47]<prrrru>+tryign to see where savevers.vim goes wrong with ftp..
[01:48]<dnvnffyus>-vim never fails to amaze
[01:48]<dnvnffyus>-<3
[02:10]<prrrru>+can someone perhaps confirm my assumption: netrw handles the file write (say of an ftp) and lets no other command continue processing BufWriteCmd events, rite?
[02:11]<prrrru>+further, there would be no triggers to BufWritePre,FileWritePre,FileAppendPre,BufWritePost,FileWritePost,FileAppendPost because netrw has its internal handling methods?
[02:19]<dzzvygzfjgn>+how do i disable the "42 more files to edit" message that messes up my attempts to :q?
[02:19]<wrw>+with :q!?
[02:20]<dzzvygzfjgn>+hax: i still want to be warned if i have unsaved changes though ...
[02:20]<wrw>+oh
[02:20]<wrw>+umm
[02:20]<wrw>+:wq! ? :)
[02:20]<wrw>+lol
[02:20]<wrw>+i'm bad at vim :p
[02:20]<dzzvygzfjgn>+lol
[02:24]<cered_mrg>+
ACTION is too

[02:26]<ndjwy>-marvinalone: :argdel * | q
[02:27]<dzzvygzfjgn>+Nyoxi: thanks
[02:27]<wrw>+wow
[02:41]<cnzrjvx>+heh, :qa is your friend
[02:43]<wrw>+what's the a for?
[02:44]<cnzrjvx>+:h qa
[03:22]<cered_mrg>+Is there a separate .gvimrc so that the console vim and gvim can have a separate set of preferences?
[03:25]<gwrylj>+yes
[03:29]<cered_mrg>+GwaiLo: You lose. Another channel answered my question in a fraction of the time :P
[03:29]<gwrylj>+heh
[03:29]<gwrylj>+well, I'll go console myself then shall I ?
[03:32]<cered_mrg>+lol
[03:36]<zzfdzz>+I think, first .vimrc then .gvimrc (in the case of gvim) gets read?
[03:36]<zzfdzz>+probably...
