Subject: VI Mapping Help

|
I am using remapping commands to do some common tasks in vi in a smaller
|
|
amount of time. If I place the map commands in the .exrc file, or the
|
|
.login file, these keyboard remappings work when I edit a file in my home
|
|
directory, but somehow they don't show up if I'm working in any
|
|
subdirectory. Can any of you gurus tell me why this is happenning? My
|
|
setting commands in the .exrc file and .login file (e.g. wrapmargin = n)
|
|
translate to the subdirectories, so this is very confusing behavior.

One of the guys in the lab here showed us how to do this. Try this in your
|
|
.login:
|
|
|
|
setenv EXINIT 'set wm=o [any other options] | source ~/.exrc'
|
|
|
|
This works for ULTRIX (csh), abd should work for other flavors of unix.
|
|
|

Hope this helps

Normally vi looks for a .exrc in the current directory first, then, if it
|
|
doesn't find one, in the directory that is contained by the environment
|
|
variable HOME (your home-directory), and then executes.
|
|
When you set the EXINIT variable, it will always execute the contents of this,
|
|
then look for a .exrc in the current dir, but it doesn't look in your home
|
|
directory anymore. (at least the vi versions I worked with didn't).
|
|
It took me a very long time to figure this out. Nowadays I don't set EXINIT,
|
|
but only keep a .exrc in my home and every other directory where it has to be
|
|
different (fortran, c, and so on).
|
|
This means that vi always uses the .exrc in my home, except when the current
|
|
directory contains one.
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps.

Subject: map in .exrc versus via :map in vi itself
|
|
Date: Fri, 9 Jul 1993 14:32:30 GMT

I have a question that is probably yet another vi FAQ:
|
|
|
|
When I do the following in vi, it works for mapping "]" to "^D"
|
|
|
|
:map ] ^V^D
|
|
|
|
However, when I add the following line to my .exrc file, I end up with
|
|
the infamous "RHS missing" error when I :so .exrc
|
|
|
|
map ] ^V^D
|
|
|
|
I do not have this problem when mapping "[" to "^U". Any suggestions?

Hi all. I have a problem. I created the following map in vi:
|
|
x j 4dd h dd k P h x d2w x J h r <tab>. I mapped these to g.
|
|
When I invoke g, however, it chokes. Any ideas why? Thanks for any
|
|
and all help.

After '4dd' the cursor is at the beginning of the line, so 'h' doesn't work.
|
|
|
|
Did you check the above sequence without mapping?

Oh, now I see what is happening. The ^D is being interpreted as an EndOfFile
|
|
mark for the .exrc file. Any workarounds possible folks?
