Somehow, it doesn't work under ST3.
Please fix it. Thank you.

I am looking for functionality described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/235839/how-do-i-indent-multiple-lines-quickly-in-vi

Action:select a block of text in visual mode and the hit n> to indent, where n is the number of times to indent.

Expected Behavior:the selected text is indented n times.

Actual Behavior: the text is indented once and the first line selected is indented n times.

It should put it below(p) or above(P) the current line.

I am wondering if there is REPLACE MODE functionality within VintageEx. I would like to use my INSERT key as a toggle between the two modes.

Currently, I am using the following keymapping setting to use INSERT to enable INSERT MODE:

{ "keys": ["insert"], "command": "enter_insert_mode",
  "context":
  [
        {"key": "setting.command_mode"},
        {"key": "selection_empty"}
  ]
},

I imagine the mode I am looking for would require the following additions:

{ "keys": ["insert"], "command": "enter_insert_mode",
  "context":
  [
        {"key": "setting.replace_mode"},
        {"key": "selection_empty"}
  ]
},
{ "keys": ["insert"], "command": "enter_replace_mode",
  "context":
  [
        {"key": "setting.insert_mode"},
        {"key": "selection_empty"}
  ]
},

My question is: Does this functionality exist, and if so, how can I utilize it? and If not, are there any plans to bring this functionality to VintageEx?

Thanks for this plugin! Small bug/feature-request:

returns "No Range Allowed" error if /joe/s-2 is attempted (or any advanced search).

Seems to have all the advanced search and replace features, but not advance search, such as many of the search examples found in:

http://www.rayninfo.co.uk/vimtips.html

UbserSelection uses PowerShell and is more advanced than cmd.exe, while retaining all advantages of cmd.exe (with some quoting acrobatics overhead).

Regexes in substitute don't seem to act in the same way as either search and replace in sublime text or substitute in vim itself. Specifically:

.s/(.*)/\u\1/

ought to capitalise the first character of the line. Other missing commands are \U, \l, \L and so on.

http://boost.sourceforge.net/libs/regex/doc/format_perl_syntax.html

This is the link for the escape characters etc. in the sublime text 2 regex engine, many of which seem not to be present in vintageex substitute.

Some of the commands don't do anything: wall, buffers (ls works), files, registers, x.

Console output:

ex_command(name=u'files', command='ex_prompt_select_open_file', forced=False, args={}, parse_errors=[], line_range={'right_ref': None, 'left_offset': None, 'text_range': u'', 'right_offset': None, 'left_ref': None, 'left_search_offsets': [], 'separator': None, 'right_search_offsets': []}, can_have_range=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 356, in run_
TypeError: run() got an unexpected keyword argument 'line_range'

All command have the same output (last 2 lines). Window 7 64x, Dev channel build 2220

Regardless of the text on the current line, :s/foo/bar always returns "VintageEx: No pattern available."

I've tried it with forward slashes, spaces, and back slashes as the separators, but to no avail.

This is on Windows 7 64-bit.

I just want to notify you that in
ghedamat/VintageEx@4e5e31b

I've changed the behavior of :q command to close the current buffer and not sublime_text itself
to make it similar to what happens if you use vim with nerdtree or with vimtabs

Don't know if it can be interesting to you to implement :q in this way

Anyway many thanks for this great plugin, now I can enjoy sublime_text even more :)

Both commands should put specified lines below the line specified by address. So :copy5 puts current line bellow line 5. But :copy1 puts line above line 1 and :copy0 does not wok at all (it actually puts the line bellow current line).

Follow the "convention" in ST and document settings there instead of in the readme.

If I type :1,10d it deletes lines 1 through 10.

If I type :1,10y it gives an error of "VintageEx: E492 Not an editor command. (:1,10y)

This is on OSX.

when using Vintage and VintageEx (beutiful, mind blowing editing experience), one thing is not working; :sh to execute shell, i get an error saying :

VintageEx: Error while executing command through shell

I've took a look at the relevant code, the error must arise from either:

p = subprocess.Popen([the_shell, '-c', name],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

or

try:
self.open_shell([term, '-e', 'bash']).wait()
except Exception as e:
print e
sublime.status_message("VintageEx: Error while executing command through shell.")
return

I'm pretty sure i have bash installed

This is ubuntu 12.10 x86_64, sublime 2.0.1 build 2217

I run latest Sublime 2181 on OSX 10.7.3. I installed it by copying VintageEx.sublime-package into "Installed Packages". When I run Sublime the Ex commands are not working. I tried simply :q and nothing. Inspection of the Console does reveal some errors while loading VintageEx.

Thanks for this great plugin. The lack of the :s/ command was keeping me from using Sublime full-time.

Also, FYI: I'm using Sublime 2 build #2161 on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. My VintageEx version is 11.10.3 according to PKG-INFO

Sorry I don't have the expertise to patch this myself ..

Say you have this code:

foo.bar = foo.baz;
bar.foo = baz;

Let's say I need to rename the foo variable on the first line.

If I enter visual-line-mode (shift+v), then :s/foo/whatever/g, the output is:

whatever.bar = whatever.baz;
bar.whatever = baz;

The expected output is:

whatever.bar = whatever.baz;
bar.foo = baz;

The bug only "bleeds over" 1 extra line. Also, the bug does not happen in regular visual mode.

Please let me know if I can help further.

Thanks again,
-- Matt

Like vim nmap ; :

if you specify register :delete command puts text into specified register, but without register text should be put into unnamed register

tried: :!ls

Hi,

I have a fork which works in ST3 here - the downside is it breaks in ST2.

The changes are:

• automated 2to3 Python stdlib changes - not sure these can be made backwards compatible,
• changes to imports to make them relative - not sure these can be made backwards compatible,
• one SublimeText API change (add_regions) which (I believe) is backwards compatible as it changes a positional to a named keyword.

I don't know if this is helpful to the project. Obviously it can't be merged as is because it breaks ST2 compatibility.

I know there are efforts underway to rewrite Vintage and VintageEx to ST3, but I'm not sure how far along they are, or what the transition process will be. Can anyone address this?

Before this change: 5094ff3

Typing /foobar would make the search realtime. Now, I have to press enter. Is there a way to revert this to the previous behaviour?

Second, doing /foobar. In the past, is non case sensitive. Now, it's case sensitive...

VintageEx breaks Vintage * and # (search under the cursor) commands, so you cant repeat them with "n" or "N" (it probably breaks "n" commands, because search works). You have to repeat them in order to find next occurrences.

I have tried with VintageEx disabled and they work as they should

One of really fast ways to move in vim is to use '/'. At the moment it is practically difficult in VintageEx. Suggestion:

1. '/' search shouldn't interfere with selection, it should act as a movement command
   • if in normal mode then just move - without selecting anything (see vim)
   • if in visual mode then extend selection
2. Act as movement command and be combinable with other commands, e.g.

There is a fox in the forest.
^
d/for leads to
forest.

I have been exclusively using VIM for quite some time, but I've decided to to see what st2 is all about. In Vim, I have mapped the spacebar to entering the command line from command mode. Is this possible with VintageEx? I can't for the life of me figure out what commands I should be mapping to with the keybindings.

1. open st
2. create unsaved buffer
3. restart st

The :files command should let the user switch to unsaved buffers, but it won't.

When Sublime text starts, there is an error in console:

Reloading plugin C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\VintageEx\setup.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\sublime_plugin.py", line 62, in reload_plugin
File ".\setup.py", line 11, in
from distutils import log, dir_util, dep_util, file_util, archive_util
ImportError: No module named distutils

The plugin still works, but maybe this error is connected with some other bugs

I know almost nothing about Python OR the internals of SublimeText otherwise I'd do this as a pull request but I'd love to see window management commands such as :vs and :sp added. The basic windowing approach seems somewhat different from vim so this may not be able to work exactly as vim does but being able to open a new file in a vertical or horizontal split window would be fantastic.

When trying to pipe my buffer through sort with :%!sort nothing seems to happen.

It also doesn't give an error message.

I'm running osx 10.5.7 and sb 2.0.1

After running a search (via / or ?), or issuing a command (:s), the bar should be closed. Not closing the bar prevents you from immediately pressing 'n' or 'N' to re-run the last search. Generally it prevents you from doing anything without first hitting 'Esc', which can be frustrating when coming from a vim background (or going to vim in the future).

Is it possible that with the Search functionality you added to VintageEx add some way to "highlight to match"?

On Vim you can enter visual mode and use search to highlight till the given match.

no history is kept for search panel?

For example:

%!<filter> should treat the whole buffer as a single block of text.

10,20!<filter>, same thing.

%s:foo:BAR however, should process the buffer line by line (this seems to be what Vim does).

etc.

After Set Syntax: CSS, ":" key inserts ":" instead of going into Command-line mode when cursor is next to the closing "}" brackets.

e.g.

Before:
.classA {
width:10px;
height:10px;
}
^-- Cursor on "}", hit ":" key under Command mode

After:
.classA {
width:10px;
height:10px;
:}
^--- inserted a ":" instead of going into Command-line mode.
