Vim - Buffers

Hello

I´ve got following Problem with Vim:
I got used to Nano´s Multibuffer Mode and I would like
to have this in Vim, too.

This means to open several files in one Vim.
I would like to use ALT+. and ALT+, to cycle through the buffers
and then also a shortcut to select a specific buffer.

On Ciaran McCreesh´s homepage I found what I need but
I have a problem with it.

~/.vimrc
===========================================

" Find a buffer with the given number (ordering is such that the first
" entry shown in minibufexpl is 1, the second is 2 and so on). If
" there's already a window open for that buffer, switch to it. Otherwise
" switch the current window to use that buffer.
fun! <SID>SelectBuffer(wantedbufnum)
let l:buflast = bufnr("$")
let l:bufidx = 0
let l:goodbufcount = 0
while (l:bufidx < l:buflast)
let l:bufidx = l:bufidx + 1
if buflisted(l:bufidx)
let l:bufname = bufname(l:bufidx)
if (strlen(l:bufname)) &&
\ getbufvar(l:bufidx, "&modifiable") == 1 &&
\ l:bufname != '-MiniBufExplorer-'
let l:goodbufcount = l:goodbufcount + 1
if l:goodbufcount == a:wantedbufnum
let l:winnr = bufwinnr(l:bufidx)
if l:winnr > -1
execute l:winnr . "wincmd w"
else
execute "buffer " . l:bufidx
endif
break
endif
endif
endif
endwhile
endfun

" Buffer switches
nmap <silent> <M-1> :call <SID>SelectBuffer( 1)<CR>
nmap <silent> <M-2> :call <SID>SelectBuffer( 2)<CR>
nmap <silent> <M-3> :call <SID>SelectBuffer( 3)<CR>
nmap <silent> <M-4> :call <SID>SelectBuffer( 4)<CR>
nmap <silent> <M-5> :call <SID>SelectBuffer( 5)<CR>

nmap <silent> <M-8> :call <SID>SelectBuffer( 8)<CR>
nmap <silent> <M-9> :call <SID>SelectBuffer( 9)<CR>
nmap <silent> <M-0> :call <SID>SelectBuffer(10)<CR>

" use ALT+. ALT+, to cycle through files:
nnoremap <A-.> :confirm bn<CR>
nnoremap <A-,> :confirm bp<CR>

"close open files with:
nnoremap <F3> :confirm bd<CR>
nnoremap <F4> :buffers<CR>

===========================================

This works as expected _only_ in Gvim.

I can´t get the Meta key combinations work in Vim.
But Meta key is working in Xterm.

In Vim only this works:
nmap <silent> <C-N> :bnext<CR>
nmap <silent> <C-P> :bprevious<CR>


Has anyone an idea what could be wrong?

Sounds like maybe your xterm is setup generate an escape sequence
when you use the Alt key. Try making sure that "Meta Sends
Escape" is NOT selected in your Xterm popup menus, and add the
following line to /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm:

*eightBitInput: true

Thank you very much. That´s it.

I put

*eightBitInput: true
*metaSendsEscape: false

in ~/.Xdefaults and now it´s working.

great ;)

This doesn´t work in KDE Konsole. In Konsole ALT sill seems not
to work. There are no shortcuts for ALT+. oder ALT+, in KDE.

Has someone an idea what could cause this?

Yeah, Konsole is totally broken when it comes to terminfo. Try using a
different terminal emulator.

Hi

as I said befor already, thanks Ciaran McCreesh for the cool stuff ;))

hmm... this with konsole is sad. I use it cause it has tabbing features.
This safes a lot space on screen and is much easier to handle
several open sessions.

I know from a Xfce 4.2 LiveCD that in there is a replacement for that
more based upon Xterm. That would be a great solution.
This isn´t available now, isn´t it?

(Speaking up Terms. Maybe someone will have a look on "my" homepage:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=218156)


I have some other questions now, too.

I know the bash is EMACS like and I know you can switch it to Vim behavior.
What and where do I have to change to accomplish this?

It´s also possible to change the standard system pager to Vim.
What advantages does this have?
Is it just to have it uniform? As on my system Vim loads slower than
less. Is it worth to change?


I noticed a difference in speed when cycling through the files.
When I use:
nnoremap <A-.> :confirm bn<CR>
nnoremap <A-,> :confirm bp<CR>

it´s fast, just a keystroke.

When I use:
nmap <silent> <S-Left> :bprev<CR>
nmap <silent> <S-Right> :bnext<CR>

there is a delay from about one second.
What is the difference between them?


Thanks you all out there. Making it such fun using Gentoo. ;)

You could use multi-aterm (probably like konsole, which I don't know
really) or screen (which I do know and which can do a lot more than just
have opened more than one session in a terminal).

I don't think, it's worth to change, as pressing 'v' in "less" opens your
default editor (set in /etc/rc.conf).

I don´t have to set them both, do I?

When I put => set -o vim

in ~/.bashrc I get an error:

Thanks for the reminder. I changed rc.conf.
Yes I agree it´s not worth to switch from less.

hmmm no I probably won´t use multi-aterm.
I tried it once and it were not what I expected.

I will give multi-gnome-terminal a try instead.

I'm using multi-gnome-terminal myself; it's actually quite nice. Now
that I've figured out how to copy and paste the term output
(gnome-terminal lets you right-click and select from a menu, or use
Shift-Ctrl-C for copy and Shift-Ctrl-V for paste, but multi-gnome
terminal uses select and left-click to copy and middle click to paste
that buffer into any app, so you actually have two copy buffers running;
the X one and the MGT one, which is just great) I'm liking it a whole
lot better. It saves my term tabs between sessions via a setting inside
the program, so when I start it at startup I have my 3 most-used terms
already available, and you can open a new term tab in a variety of ways.

It's pretty cool, overall, once you get used to how it's different from
konsole and normal gnome-terminal. Maybe one day it'll be GTK2 and also
look a bit better (but it's a term, who really cares).

Thanks that seems to work.
"Seems" means now I have to check where the differences
between those modes are.

emerge app-misc/screen

and you'll never go back! It works inside xterm, on the console,
inside an ssh login. It opens multiple terminal sessions in
one window, like the tabs in konsole and provides switching
between them using various key combos, including user-defined
ones (I have Alt-l defined to switch to the "next" one, and I
cycle through one at a time that way).

It supports disconnecting and reconnecting later from a different
xterm window, console, or ssh session. You can perform a
backwards search through all the screens of data you have seen
during the current session, copy and paste data out to a file or
just to the copy buffer. I have resurrected a few text files
that I accidentally deleted or overwrote with an old version
using this feature. Also good when you have a command in your
history but want to run it in the _other_ window - copy it out
and paste it in the other shell session.

I also have key combos defined to open up various things in new
sessions, like a root window (su -), ssh logins to hosts I
commonly use, w3m, etc. And I can specify that new zsh sessions
start as window number 0, 1, 2, ..., root window sessions start
at 4, remote sessions to the host I use 2nd most often start at
8, and all others start at 12, so I always know where everything
is when cycling through them.

And who knows what else I haven't found!

Do you know a practice tutorial about all this screen features
and have a good pointer for me?

I would like to have closer look at screen after your explanation.

This one I know already, but it´s not so much.

Don't remember where I started with it. Here are a couple intros
I have seen recently:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6340
http://www.linux-mag.com/2003-06/power_01.html

Neither talks about adding key bindings, though, which makes all
the difference for me. To bind actions to your own key bindings,
read the screen man page and look for the CUSTOMIZATION section:
especially the parts about the bind and bindkey commands. To
change the command character (ctrl-A) to something else, use the
"escape" command in your .screenrc.

I got one advice to make screen a bit easier: Use the hardstatus line.
It's a line that's constantly at the bottom of your terminal. showing
some information, that you can define, for example like this:

http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~buchholz/screen.jpg

You see I have currently three shells in one terminal and I switch
between them with F7 (prev) and F8 (next). This statusline is done like
this in your .screenrc:

hardstatus alwayslastline "%{=b wk}..:: %D %d-%m %c %1` %2`° | %-w%{=br}%n %t%{-}%+w ::.."

The %1` and %2` are replaced by some mailchecker I made up and the CPU
temperatur. ;)

Cycling through your terminals with F7 and F8 is as easy as this:

bindkey -k k7 prev
bindkey -k k8 next

And thousands of other great features ...

Now this is realy good tip. Thanks.
I was wondering about just right this, if something like this were
possible.
Thank you. Saved me much time to look for my own solution. ;)

Now I´ve tried multi-gnome-terminal and also even gnome-terminal.
Both do not work for me.

ALT+. and ALT+, do not work in none of them.
It´s like the same problem I had with Konsole.

But I found a solution to get it to work - with screen.
Just read a bit below in the thread, if your interrested in how.

bye Thilo

I had a closer look on that LiveCD again and this "new" Term ist "just"
a plain gnome-terminal.

I just wondering about how to start a screen session just right on Xterm
start. When I put screen& in ~/.bashrc I get:

Must be connected to a terminal.
