ANN: YankRing 17.0

[David Fishburn]

YankRing.vim : Maintains a history of previous yanks, changes and deletes 

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1234 

What does it do? 

Inspired by the Emacs kill ring.

Allows you to retrieve previous yanks, deletes and changed text and 

cycle through them choosing which item you need.  It also works across 

Vim instances so they all see the same history.  Useful for sharing 

text across instances, including when using Screen in *nix. 

For a more descriptive write up, please see the web page. 

Thanks for everyone's feedback so far. 

If you do try the plugin and find things that bother you, please send 

me an email. 

What is new? 

NF: The yankring_history_dir option can now take a comma separated list.  First valid directory found will be used (Alex Bel).

NF: YankRing can now monitor inserted text and place it in the ring. This is disabled by default, but can be enabled either through the YankRing window or via your .vimrc using the new option:

    g:yankring_record_insert = 1 (Alexandre Viau).

BF: When g:yankring_persist = 0, the YankRing was still reading and writing to the yankring file (Vladimir Marek).

BF: The YankRing menu entry, "Replace with Next", was performing the "Replace with Previous" action (Thilo Six).

As usual, feedback good and bad is always welcome. 

Enjoy.

Hi David, one issue I've run into with yankring is
that if I make a recording using q command, it works
fine as I record it, but once I try to play it back,
it gets stuck on a command like dt" and yankring asks
for a character.

I use Vim 7.3.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks, -ak

What version of the YankRing are you using?

:echo g:loaded_yankring

Also, what version of Vim are you using, I am most concerned with the patch numbers.

:ver

Can you give me a line of text, and the macro you recorded.

I don't see the problem when I record a macro with dt" with version 17.0.

I am using 7.3.758.

Thanks,

David

I was using 13 but now I tried with 17 and I get the same
issue.

'10 aug 15; :ver does not show me patch number.

e.g. line:

join(SITE_ROOT, "templates/forum"),

record commands: wdt"^P
when executing, I get "Yankring: enter character:"

Am I the only one getting an error?

Sounds like the same thing I was seeing only on a Debian system. (I've still not had time to debug it.)

[David Fishburn]

No, everyone is getting that error, the Vim MySQL database is down, so no one can download scripts at the moment.

I will try to reproduce it with an unpatched version of Vim 7.3, rather than the 7.3.758 I am currently running.

Of course I will have to reinstall somewhere to get that .exe (should have copied it first ...), but I will report back after my tests.

Any update? I have the same problem and have to remove the plugin when I need recording.

Can you give me some text which you run the macro on, and then show me what the macro you record is.

Then please provide the output from 

:set

and

:ver

Can you also try with Vim using the following command line:

vim -u NONE -U NONE -N --noplugins

After Vim launches:

:source $HOME/.vim/plugin/yankring.vim

Or where ever the plugin was installed and see if you get the same behaviour.

You can respond to me directly while we investigate to keep the traffic down on vim_use if you would like.

Thanks,

David

Im away from my computer but I found a workaround ... ie dont use numbered registers for the macro.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how this solves the
problem. dt" isn't using a numbered register, it's deleting to the
character "

Numbered registers are populated from deletes unless another register was specified. The help states though that one-line deletes should not affect numbered registers (with some exceptions, but "t" is not the one).

That seems irrelevant to the case I am having a problem with:

| this is a line with a "quote"

Where | is the cursor

dt" triggers the problem. I don't see how the register matters. From the help:


t{char} Till before [count]'th occurrence of {char} to the
right. The cursor is placed on the character left of
{char} |inclusive|.
{char} can be entered like with the |f| command.

I'm not a vim expert.
