New data types |new-data-types|
Various new items |new-items-7|
IMPROVEMENTS |improvements-7|
COMPILE TIME CHANGES |compile-changes-7|
BUG FIXES |bug-fixes-7|
==============================================================================
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7*
These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you
run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0
":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.
Minor incompatibilities:
For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use
*/.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.
":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.
Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.
Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was
confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".
==============================================================================
NEW FEATURES *new-7*
New data types *new-data-types*
--------------
In Vim scripts the following types have been added:
list ordered list of items
dictionary associative array of items
function reference to a function
Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types.
Various new items *new-items-7*
-----------------
Normal mode commands: ~
Options: ~
Ex commands: ~
New functions: ~
New autocommand events: ~
New Syntax files: ~
Others: ~
Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and
character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns)
Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using
"yyp".
==============================================================================
IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7*
":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".
":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
breakpoint at the cursor.
==============================================================================
COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7*
==============================================================================
BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
work. Use "LPT1" then.
The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
size. Use a default size of 10.
This example in the documentation didn't work:
:e `=foo . ".c" `
Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
"L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
when it doesn't support MDI.
Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
"2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
space.
Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
for doesn't have an extension.
When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
cursor and not putting it back where it was.
When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
to make it work the old way.
When <Space> is mapped to something that starts with a space, typing <Space>
does not expand abbreviations. Only disable expanding abbreviations when a
mapping is not remapped, not when the RHS starts with the LHS.
When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
fields. (Walter Briscoe)
