-------------------- Known bugs and current work -----------------------
Regexp problems:
+- Crash when using cpp syntax file with raw string. (Havard Garnes)
+ Edit "~/tmp/test.cc" and source "~/tmp/cpp.vim".
- NFA regexp doesn't count tab matches correctly. (Urtica Dioica / gaultheria
Shallon, 2013 Nov 18)
- After patch 7.4.100 there is still a difference between NFA and old engine.
Using autoconf 2.69 gives a lot of warnings.
+Spell files use a latin single quote. Unicode also has another single quote.
+Adjust spell file scripts to duplicate words to support both quotes.
+(Ron Aaron, 2014 Apr 4)
+
Problem with 'spellsuggest' file, only works for some words.
(Cesar Romani, 2013 Aug 20) Depends on file name? (Aug 24)
Additional remark by glts: the suggested words are marked bad?
Syntax file for gnuplot. Existing one is very old. (Andrew Rasmussen, 2014
Feb 24)
-Crash with ":%s/\n//g" on long file. (Aidan Marlin, 2014 Jan 15)
-Christian Brabandt: patch to run this into a join. (2014 Jan 18)
-Suggestion to not save replaced line for undo: Yukihiro Nakadaira, 2014 Jan
-25.
-
Add digraph for Rouble: =P. What's the Unicode?
-Bug: "!ls %" expands parenthesis in %, but not spaces. So this doesn't work
-either: ':!ls "%"'.
-Patch by Gary Johnson, 2014 Mar 6.
-
Issue 174: Detect Mason files.
No error for missing endwhile. (ZyX, 2014 Mar 20)
-Patch to add v:progpath. (Viktor Kojouharov, 2014 Mar 15)
-
Phpcomplete.vim update. (Complex, 2014 Jan 15)
PHP syntax is extremely slow. (Anhad Jai Singh, 2014 Jan 19)
+Win32: use different args for SearchPath()? (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, 2009 Jan 30)
+Also fixes wrong result from executable().
+Update from Ken Takata, 2014 Jan 10. Newer 2014 Apr 3.
+
Can we make ":unlet $VAR" use unsetenv() to delete the env var?
What for systems that don't have unsetenv()?
This neither: (ZyX)
vim -u NONE 1 2 3 -c 'bufdo while 1 | echo 1'
-spec ftplugin: patch from Igor Gnatenko, 2014 Jan 26.
-Include if maintainers don't respond.
-
-Patch to make has() check for Vim version and patch at the same time.
-(Marc Weber, 2013 Jun 7)
-
-Regression on pach 7.4.034. (Ingo Karkat, 2013 Nov 20)
+'viewdir' default on MS-Windows is not a good choice, it's a system directory.
+Change 'viewdir' to "$HOME/vimfiles/view" and use 'viewdiralt' to also read
+from?
Include a plugin manager with Vim? Neobundle seems to be the best currently.
Long message about this from ZyX, 2014 Mar 23. And following replies.
- Development work on plugins (although diff with distributed version would be
useful).
-Patch to include smack support (Linux security library). (Jose Bollo, 2014 Jan
-14) Update Jan 15.
+Setting the spell file in a session only reads the local additions, not the
+normal spell file. (Enno Nagel, 2014 Mar 29)
-Tag list, as used for :tjump, does not unescape regexp. (Gary Johnson, 2014 Jan
-6) With patch in another message.
+Editing an ascii file as ucs-2 or ucs-4 causes display errors.
+(ZyX, 2014 Mar 30)
+
+":Next 1 some-arg" does not complain about trailing argument. Also for
+various other commands. (ZyX, 2014 Mar 30)
VMS: Select() doesn't work properly, typing ESC may hang Vim. Use sys$qiow
instead. (Samuel Ferencik, 2013 Sep 28)

*:!cmd* *:!* *E34*
:!{cmd} Execute {cmd} with the shell. See also the 'shell'
and 'shelltype' option.
+
Any '!' in {cmd} is replaced with the previous
external command (see also 'cpoptions'). But not when
there is a backslash before the '!', then that
backslash is removed. Example: ":!ls" followed by
":!echo ! \! \\!" executes "echo ls ! \!".
- After the command has been executed, the timestamp of
- the current file is checked |timestamp|.
+
A '|' in {cmd} is passed to the shell, you cannot use
it to append a Vim command. See |:bar|.
+
+ If {cmd} contains "%" it is expanded to the current
+ file name. Special characters are not escaped, use
+ quotes to avoid their special meaning: >
+ :!ls "%"
+< If the file name contains a "$" single quotes might
+ work better (but a single quote causes trouble): >
+ :!ls '%'
+< This should always work, but it's more typing: >
+ :exe "!ls " . shellescape(expand("%"))
+<
A newline character ends {cmd}, what follows is
interpreted as a following ":" command. However, if
there is a backslash before the newline it is removed
and {cmd} continues. It doesn't matter how many
backslashes are before the newline, only one is
removed.
+
On Unix the command normally runs in a non-interactive
shell. If you want an interactive shell to be used
(to use aliases) set 'shellcmdflag' to "-ic".
For Win32 also see |:!start|.
+
+ After the command has been executed, the timestamp of
+ the current file is checked |timestamp|.
+
Vim redraws the screen after the command is finished,
because it may have printed any text. This requires a
hit-enter prompt, so that you can read any messages.
