No maintainer for Vietnamese translations.
No maintainer for Simplified <A HREF="mbyte.html#Chinese">Chinese</A> translations.

Terminal emulator <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>:
- Lots of stuff to implement, see src/terminal.c
- Improve debugger interface:
  Include all debug features of Agide.
    - Implement the right-click popup menu for the <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A>. Can use the
      completion popup menu code and mouse dragging.
      Use <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> for &quot;set breakpoint&quot;, &quot;remove breakpoint&quot;, etc.
 - get ideas from	<A HREF="http://clewn.sf.net">http://clewn.sf.net</A>
  - Look into the idevim plugin/script.
- Improve <A HREF="eval.html#testing">testing</A>:
  Make a screenshot of a <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A>, store in a file.
  Display a stored screenshot, display <A HREF="diff.html#diff">diff</A> with another one.
  Make a test that puts Vim in a specific state, make a screenshot and compare
  with the expected screenshot.  Set <A HREF="term.html#t_Co">t_Co</A> to 256.

<A HREF="various.html#+channel">+channel</A>:
- Add a separate timeout for opening a socket.  Currently it's fixed at 50
  msec, which is too small for a remote connection. (tverniquet, #2130)
- Try out background make <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A>: 
  https://github.com/AndrewVos/vim-make-background
- Problem with stderr on Windows? (Vincent Rischmann, 2016 Aug 31, #1026)
- Writing raw mode to a buffer should still handle NL characters <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> line
  breaks. (Dmitry Zotikov, 2017 Aug 16)
- When <A HREF="channel.html#out_cb">out_cb</A> executes <A HREF="various.html#:sleep">:sleep</A>, the <A HREF="channel.html#close_cb">close_cb</A> may be invoked. (Daniel Hahler,
  2016 Dec 11, #1320)
- Implement |<A HREF="channel.html#job-term">job-term</A>| ?
- <A HREF="eval.html#Channel">Channel</A> test fails with <A HREF="gui_x11.html#Motif">Motif</A>.  Sometimes kills the <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A> server.
- When a message in the queue but there is no callback, drop <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> after a while?
  Add <A HREF="editing.html#timestamp">timestamp</A> to queued <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> and callbacks with ID, remove after a
  minute.  Option to set the droptime.
- Add an option to drop text of very long lines?  Default to 1 Mbyte.
- Add remark about <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> sync, is there a way to force <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>?
- When starting a <A HREF="channel.html#job">job</A>, have an option to open the server socket, so we know
  the port, and pass <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> to the command with --socket-fd {nr}. (Olaf Dabrunz,
  Feb 9)  How to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this on <A HREF="os_win32.html#MS-Windows">MS-Windows</A>?
- For connection to server, a &quot;keep open&quot; flag would be useful.  Retry
  connecting in the main loop with zero timeout.
- <A HREF="eval.html#job_start()">job_start()</A>: run <A HREF="channel.html#job">job</A> in a newly opened <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A> (not a <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A> <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>).
    With xterm could use -S{pty}.
    Although user could use &quot;xterm <A HREF="starting.html#-e">-e</A> 'cmd arg&#39;&#34;'.

Regexp problems:
- When search <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> has the base character both with and without combining
  character, search fails.  E.g. &quot;รรีบ&quot; in &quot;การรีบรักใคร&quot;. (agguser, #2312)
- <A HREF="pattern.html#[:space:]">[:space:]</A> only matches ASCII spaces.  Add [:white:] for all space-like
  characters, esp. including 0xa0.  Use character class zero.
- Since 7.4.704 the old regex engine fails to match [[:print:]] in 0xf6.
  (Manuel Ortega, 2016 Apr 24)
  Test fails on <A HREF="os_mac.html#Mac">Mac</A>.  Avoid using isalpha(), isalnum(), etc?  Depends on
  LC_CTYPE
- The old engine does not find a match for &quot;/\&#37;#=1\(\)\{80}&quot;, the new engine
  matches everywhere.
- Using win_linetabsize() can still be slow. Cache the result, store col and
  vcol. Reset them when moving to another line.
- Very slow with a long line and <A HREF="if_ruby.html#Ruby">Ruby</A> highlighting. (John Whitley, 2014 Dec 4)
- Bug with <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>: '\vblock (\d+)\.\n.*\d+&#37;(\1)@&lt;!\.$'
  (Lech Lorens, 2014 Feb 3)
- Issue 164: freeze on <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> search.
- Ignorecase not handled properly for <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> characters. (Axel Bender,
  2013 Dec 11)
- Using \@&gt; and \?. (Brett Stahlman, 2013 Dec 21) Remark from Marcin
  Szamotulski; Remark from Brett 2014 Jan 6 and 7.
- <A HREF="pattern.html#NFA">NFA</A> <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> doesn't handle \&#37;&lt;v correctly. (Ingo Karkat, 2014 May 12)
- Does not work with <A HREF="pattern.html#NFA">NFA</A> <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> engine:
  \&#37;u, \&#37;x, \&#37;o, \&#37;d followed by a composing character
- Search for \&#37;d0\+ may fail with <A HREF="options.html#E363">E363</A>. (Christian Brabandt, 2016 Oct 4)
- \&#37;'[ does not work.  '&#37;'] does work.  (Masaaki Nakamura, 2016 Apr 4)
- Bug relating to back references. (Ingo Karkat, 2014 Jul 24)
- New RE does not give an error for empty group: &quot;\(\)\{2}&quot; (Dominique Pelle,
  2015 Feb 7)
- Using back reference before the capturing group sometimes works with the old
  engine, can we <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this with the new engine?  E.g. with
  &quot;/\&#37;(&lt;\1&gt;\)\@&lt;=.*\&#37;(&lt;\/\(\w\+\)&gt;\)\@=&quot; matching text inside HTML <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A>.
  This problem is probably the same: &quot;\&#37;(^\1.*$\n\)\@&lt;=\(\d\+\).*$&quot;.
  (guotuofeng, 2015 Jun 22)
- Strange matching with &quot;\(Hello\n\)\@&lt;=A&quot;. (Anas Syed, 2015 Feb 12)
- Problem with \v(A)@&lt;=b+\1c. (Issue 334)
- Diff highlighting can be very slow. (Issue 309)
- Using &#37;&gt; for a virtual column has a check based on 'tabsize'.  Better would
  be to cache the result of win_linetabsize(col), storing both col and vcol,
  and use them to decide whether win_linetabsize() needs to be called.  Reset
  col and vcol when moving to another line.
- this doesn't work: &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> match ErrorMsg /.\&#37;9l\&#37;&gt;20c\&amp;\&#37;&lt;28c/&quot;.  Leaving
  out the \&amp; works.  Seems any column check after \&amp; fails.
- Difference between two engines: &quot;.*\zs\/\@&gt;\/&quot; on text &quot;///&quot;
  (Chris Paul, 2016 Nov 13)  New engine not greedy enough?
  Another one: echom matchstr(&quot; sdfsfsf\n sfdsdfsdf&quot;,'[^\n]*')
  (2017 May 15, #1252)

<A HREF="options.html#'tagrelative'">'tagrelative'</A> is broken in specific situation. (xaizek, 2017 Oct 19, #2221)

All <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A> are global, which makes <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A> like <A HREF="eval.html#get()">get()</A> and <A HREF="eval.html#len()">len()</A> awkward.
For the future use the ~get() and ~len() <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A>, e.g.:
    mylist~get(idx)
    mydict~get(idx)
    mystring~len()
Alternatives for ~:
    ^  list^get()    could also be used
    .  list.get()    already means concatenate
    $  list$get()    harder to read
<A HREF="mailto:@">@</A> <A HREF="mailto:list@get()">list@get()</A> harder to read 
    -&gt;  list-&gt;get()  two characters, used for <A HREF="eval.html#lambda">lambda</A>

The ++ <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> for the <A HREF="editing.html#:edit">:edit</A> command are also useful on the Vim command line.

When recovering a file, put the swap file name in b:recovered_swapfile.  Then

Overlong <A HREF="mbyte.html#utf-8">utf-8</A> sequence is displayed wrong. (Harm te Hennepe, 2017 Sep 14,
#2089)  Patch with possible solution by Björn Linse.

The change <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> index is local to a buffer, but <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> doesn't make sense using <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
for another buffer.  (lacygoll) Copy w_changelistidx to wininfo_S and back.

<A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A>: Putting more than about 262040 characters of text on the <A HREF="gui.html#clipboard">clipboard</A> and
pasting <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> in another Vim doesn't work.  (Dominique Pelle, 2008 Aug 21-23)
clip_x11_request_selection_cb() is called with zero value and length.
Also: Get an error message from free() in the process that owns the selection.
Seems to happen when the selection is requested the second time, but before
clip_x11_convert_selection_cb() is invoked, thus in X library code.
Kazunobu Kuriyama is working on a proper fix. (2017 Jul 25)

Problem with three-piece comment. (Michael Lee, 2017 May 11, #1696)

Creating a partial with an <A HREF="eval.html#autoload">autoload</A> function is confused about the &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#self">self</A>&quot;

that optiona? (Bjorn Linse, 2017 Aug 5)

Cindent: returning a structure has more indent for the second item.
(Sam Pagenkopf, 2017 Sep 14, #2090)

Completion mixes results from the current buffer with <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A> and other files.
Happens when typing <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-N">CTRL-N</A> while still search for results.  E.g., type &quot;b_&quot; in
terminal.c and then <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-N">CTRL-N</A> <A HREF="if_cscop.html#twice">twice</A>.
Should <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> current file first and not split <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> up when more results are found.

Profile of a <A HREF="eval.html#dict">dict</A> function is lost when the <A HREF="eval.html#dict">dict</A> is deleted.  Would <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> be

Add `:filter` support for various commands (Marcin Szamotulski, 2017 Nov 12
#2322)  Now in #2327?

When checking if a bufref is valid, also check the buffer number, to catch the
<A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> of <A HREF="windows.html#:bwipe">:bwipe</A> followed by <A HREF="windows.html#:new">:new</A>.

Patch to skip <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> a temp file for diffing if the buffer is equal to the
existing file. (Akria Sheng, 2017 Jul 22)
Could also skip <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> lines that are the same.

Setting <A HREF="options.html#'clipboard'">'clipboard'</A> to &quot;unnamed&quot; makes a global command very slow (Daniel

New value &quot;uselast&quot; for <A HREF="options.html#'switchbuf'">'switchbuf'</A>. (Lemonboy, 2017 Apr 23, #1652)

Add a toolbar in the <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A>.  Can be global, above all <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>, or specific

Make <A HREF="eval.html#maparg()">maparg()</A> also return the raw rhs, so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> doesn't depend on <A HREF="options.html#'cpo'">'cpo'</A>.
(Brett Stahlman, 2017 May 23)
Even better: add a way to disable a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> temporarily and re-enable <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
later.  This is for a sub-mode that is active for a short while (one buffer).
Still need maplist() to find the mappings.  What can we use to identify a
<A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>?  Something unique would be better than the LHS.
Perhaps simpler: actually delete the mappings.  Use maplist() to <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> matching
mappings (with a lhs prefix, like maparg()), mapdelete() to delete,
maprestore() to restore (using the output of maplist()).

Add an argument to <A HREF="starting.html#:mkvimrc">:mkvimrc</A> (or add another command) to skip mappings from
plugins (source is a Vim <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A>).  No need to put these in a <A HREF="starting.html#.vimrc">.vimrc</A>, they will
be defined when the <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> is loaded.

Use tb_set(winid, [{'text': 'stop', <A HREF="options.html#'cb'">'cb'</A>: callback, <A HREF="options.html#'hi'">'hi'</A>: 'Green'}])

When session file has name in argument <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> but the buffer was deleted, the
buffer is not deleted when using the session file. (#1393)
Should add the buffer in hidden state.

When an item in the <A HREF="quickfix.html#quickfix">quickfix</A> <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> has a file name that does not exist, behave

Using <A HREF="remote.html#--remote">--remote</A> to open a file in which a # appears does not work on

2017 Feb 9)  Can we expand <A HREF="editing.html#wildcards">wildcards</A> first and send the path literally to the

Use ADDR_OTHER instead of ADDR_LINES for many more commands.
Add tests for using number larger than number of lines in buffer.

Installation of .desktop files does not work everywhere.
It's now fixed, but the target directory probably isn't right.

restore the mode properly. (Andrew Stewart, 2016 Apr 20)
Do not trigger the event?

Using &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:windo">:windo</A>&quot; to set <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> in all <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> has the side effect that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
changes the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> layout and the current <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.  Make a variant that saves
and restores.  Use in the <A HREF="pi_paren.html#matchparen">matchparen</A> <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A>.
Perhaps we can use &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:windo">:windo</A> &lt;restore&gt; {cmd}&quot;?

Instead of separately uploading patches to the ftp site, we can get them from
github with a URL like this:
   https://github.com/vim/vim/compare/v7.4.920&#37;5E...v7.4.920.diff
Diff for version.c contains more context, can't skip a patch.

When <A HREF="term.html#t_Co">t_Co</A> is changed from termresponse, the <A HREF="autocmd.html#OptionSet">OptionSet</A> autocmmand event isn't

<A HREF="if_pyth.html#Python">Python</A>: &quot;<A HREF="if_pyth.html#:py">:py</A> raw_input('prompt')&quot; doesn't work. (Manu Hack)

Comparing nested structures with &quot;<A HREF="change.html#==">==</A>&quot; uses a different comparator than when
comparing individual items.
Also, &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#''">''</A> <A HREF="change.html#==">==</A> 0&quot; evaluates to true, which isn't <A HREF="#nice">nice</A>.
Add &quot;===&quot; to have a strict comparison (type and value match).
Add &quot;==*&quot; (?) to have a value match, but no automatic conversion, and <A HREF="eval.html#v:true">v:true</A>
equals 1 and 1.0, <A HREF="eval.html#v:false">v:false</A> equals 0 and 0.0.?

Using uninitialized memory. (Dominique Pelle, 2015 Nov 4)

Patch to add :mapgroup, put mappings in a group like augroup.
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto, 2016 Feb 19)

Value returned by <A HREF="eval.html#virtcol()">virtcol()</A> changes depending on how lines wrap.  This is
inconsistent with the documentation.

Value of <A HREF="eval.html#virtcol()">virtcol()</A> for <A HREF="motion.html#'[">'[</A> and <A HREF="motion.html#']">']</A> depend on <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> character.
(Luchr, #277)

Can we cache the <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> attributes, so that updates for <A HREF="options.html#'relativenumber'">'relativenumber'</A> and
'cursorline'/'cursorcolumn' are a lot faster?  Thus store the attributes
before combining them.

C highlighting: modern C allows: /* comment */ #ifdef
and also line continuation after #include.
I can't recommend <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> though.

Build with <A HREF="if_pyth.html#Python">Python</A> on <A HREF="os_mac.html#Mac">Mac</A> does not always use the right library.

Patch for <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> characters in langmap and applying a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> on them.
(Christian Brabandt, 2015 Jun 12, update July 25)
Is this the right solution?  Need to cleanup langmap behavior:
- in vgetorpeek() apply langmap to the typeahead buffer and put the result in
  a copy-buffer, only when langmap is appropriate for the current mode. Then
  check for <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> and let gotchars() work on the copy-buffer.
- Remove LANGMAP_ADJUST() in other parts of the code.  Make sure the mode is
  covered by the above change.
So that replaying the <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> doesn't use keymap/langmap and still does the
same thing.  Remarks on issue 543 (Roland Puntaier).
Also see #737: langmap not applied to replaying <A HREF="repeat.html#recording">recording</A>.

Patch to add grepfile(). (Scott Prager, 2015 May 26)

Using &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; to repeat an <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> command puts that command in <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A>.  Probably

Idea: For a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> in the middle (has <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> above and below it), use

Problem with upwards search on Windows (works OK on Linux). (Brett Stahlman,

Include a <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> manager with Vim? Neobundle seems to be the best currently.
Also Vundle: https://github.com/gmarik/vundle
Long message about this from ZyX, 2014 Mar 23.  And following replies.
 Also see	<A HREF="http://vim-wiki.mawercer.de/wiki/topic/vim&#37;20plugin&#37;20managment.html">http://vim-wiki.mawercer.de/wiki/topic/vim&#37;20plugin&#37;20managment.html</A>
<A HREF="autocmd.html#User">User</A> <A HREF="starting.html#view">view</A>:
 - Support multiple sources, basically any	<A HREF="http://">http://</A> URL. Or a central place that
  will work for everybody (github?  redirects from vim.org?).
  Be able to look into the files before deciding to <A HREF="usr_90.html#install">install</A>.
- Be able to try out a <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> and remove <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> again with (almost) no traces.
- Each <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> needs a &quot;manifest&quot; file that has the version, dependencies
  (including Vim version and features), conflicts, <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of files, etc.
  Updater uses that to decide what/how to update.
  Dependencies can use a URL for specific versions, or short name for scripts
  on vim.org.
- Once a <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> is installed <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> remembers where <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> came from, updater checks
  there.  Can manually update when really needed.
- Must be possible to <A HREF="usr_90.html#install">install</A> for one user.  Also system wide?
- Can edit <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> config with Vim. Can temporarily disable a <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A>.
- Run the update manually, find latest version and <A HREF="usr_90.html#install">install</A>.
- Be able to <A HREF="intro.html#download">download</A> without special tools, must work for 95&#37; of users.
Implementation:
- Avoid the <A HREF="options.html#'runtimepath'">'runtimepath'</A> getting long.  Need some other way to keep each
  <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> separate.
- When installing or updating, first figure out what needs to be done. This
  may involve recursively fetching manifest files for dependencies.  Then show
  the user what's going to change and ask for OK.
- Scripts on Vim.org must be able to consist of several files.  Is <A HREF="pi_zip.html#zip">zip</A> format
  sufficient?  Upload the manifest?  Or refer to a site that has the manifest?
- Best is to <A HREF="pi_netrw.html#fetch">fetch</A> individual files or use a Vimball. Reduces dependency on
  tools that might be missing and allows inspection of the files before
  installing.
Out of scope:
- Overview of plugins, ratings, comments, etc.  That's another world.
- Development work on plugins (although <A HREF="diff.html#diff">diff</A> with distributed version would be
  useful).

Setting the <A HREF="spell.html#spell">spell</A> file in a session only reads the local additions, not the

Spell checking: Add a way to specify punctuation characters.  Add the

There should be something about <A HREF="spell.html#spell">spell</A> checking in the user manual.

Spell menu: When using the Popup menu to select a replacement <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A>,

Add an option to specify the character to use when a double-width character is
moved to the next line.  Default '<A HREF="change.html#&gt;">&gt;</A>', set to a space to blank <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> out.  Check
that char is single width when it's set (compare with <A HREF="options.html#'listchars'">'listchars'</A>).

The generated vim.bat can avoid the loop for NT. (Carl Zmola, 2006 Sep 3)

When showing a <A HREF="diff.html#diff">diff</A> between a non-existent file and an existing one, with the

In <A HREF="autocmd.html#FileChangedShell">FileChangedShell</A> command it's no longer allowed to switch to another
buffer.  But the changed buffer may differ from the current buffer, how to
<A HREF="editing.html#reload">reload</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> then?

For Aap: include a config.arg.example file with hints how to use config.arg.

Command line completion when <A HREF="options.html#'cmdheight'">'cmdheight'</A> is maximum and <A HREF="options.html#'wildmenu'">'wildmenu'</A> is set,

tree stops unexpectedly when using &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:cd">:cd</A> &quot; and entering a directory that
doesn't contain other directories.

Default for <A HREF="options.html#'background'">'background'</A> is wrong when using xterm with 256 colors.
Table with estimates from Matteo Cavalleri, 2014 Jan 10.

Setting <A HREF="options.html#'background'">'background'</A> resets the <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> background color:
   highlight <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> ctermbg=DarkGray
   set background=dark
This is undesired, <A HREF="options.html#'background'">'background'</A> is supposed to tell Vim what the background
color is, not reset <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.

Linux distributions:
- Suggest compiling xterm with --enable-tcap-query, so that nr of colors is
  known to Vim.  88 colors instead of 16 works better.  See &quot;<A HREF="helphelp.html#:help">:help</A>
  xfree-xterm&quot;.
- Suggest including bare &quot;<A HREF="intro.html#vi">vi</A>&quot; and &quot;vim&quot; with <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A>, <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A>, etc.

Completion menu: For a wrapping line, completing a long file name, only the
start of the path is shown in the menu.  Should move the menu to the right to
show more text of the completions.  Shorten the items that don't fit in the
middle?

Accessing file#var in a function should not need the <A HREF="eval.html#g:">g:</A> prepended.

When <A HREF="starting.html#exiting">exiting</A> detects a modified buffer, instead of opening the buffer in the
current <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A>, use an existing <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A>, if possible.  Like finding a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> where
the buffer is displayed. (Antonios Tsakiridis)

  Add createmark( , '<A HREF="change.html#c">c</A>') to track inserts/deletes before the column.
- Plugins need to make a lot of effort, lots of mappings, to know what

  keeping the last N pressed keys, so that they <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> not need to be mapped?

<A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> incompatibility:
-   Try new POSIX tests, made after my comments. (Geoff Clare, 2005 April 7)
    Version 1.5 is in ~/src/posix/1.5. (Lynne Canal)
8   With undo/redo only marks in the changed lines should be changed.  Other
    marks should be kept.  <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> keeps each <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> at the same text, even when <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    is deleted or restored. (Webb)
    Also: A <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> is lost after: make change, <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A>, <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> and <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A>.
    Example: &quot;{d'&#39;&#34;' then &quot;<A HREF="undo.html#u">u</A>&quot; then &quot;d'&#39;&#34;': deletes an extra line, because the <A HREF="motion.html#''">''</A>
    position is one line down. (Veselinovic)
8   When stdin is not a tty, and Vim reads commands from <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>, an error should
    make Vim exit.
7   <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A> Vim (not gvim): Typing <A HREF="pattern.html#CTRL-C">CTRL-C</A> in <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> mode should finish the line
    (currently you can continue typing, but it's truncated later anyway).
    Requires a way to make <A HREF="pattern.html#CTRL-C">CTRL-C</A> interrupt select() when in cooked input.
8   When loading a file in the <A HREF="starting.html#.exrc">.exrc</A>, <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> loads the argument anyway.  Vim skips
    loading the argument if there is a file already.  When no file argument
    given, <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> starts with an empty buffer, Vim keeps the loaded file. (Bearded)
6   In <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode, when using <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;BS&gt;">&lt;BS&gt;</A> or <A HREF="change.html#&lt;Del&gt;">&lt;Del&gt;</A>, don't wipe out the text, but
    only move back the cursor.	Behaves like '<A HREF="motion.html#$">$</A>' in <A HREF="options.html#'cpoptions'">'cpoptions'</A>.  Use a flag
    in <A HREF="options.html#'cpoptions'">'cpoptions'</A> to switch this on/off.
8   When editing a file which is a symbolic link, and then opening another
    symbolic link on the same file, Vim uses the name of the first one.
    Adjust the file name in the buffer to the last one used?  Use several file
    names in one buffer???
    Also: When first editing file &quot;test&quot;, which is symlink to &quot;test2&quot;, and
    then editing &quot;test2&quot;, you end up editing buffer &quot;test&quot; again.  It's not
    logical that the name that was first used sticks with the buffer.
7   The &quot;<A HREF="undo.html#:undo">:undo</A>&quot; command works differently in <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> mode.  Edit a file, make some
    changes, &quot;<A HREF="intro.html#Q">Q</A>&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A>&quot; and _all_ changes are undone, like the &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:visual">:visual</A>&quot;
    command was one command.
    On the other hand, an &quot;<A HREF="undo.html#:undo">:undo</A>&quot; command in an <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> only undoes the last
    change (e.g., use two <A HREF="insert.html#:append">:append</A> commands, then <A HREF="undo.html#:undo">:undo</A>).
7   The &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A>&quot; command output overwrites the command.  Perhaps <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> should keep
    the &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A>&quot; when it's used without arguments?
7   <A HREF="various.html#CTRL-L">CTRL-L</A> is not the end of a section?  It is for <A HREF="intro.html#Posix">Posix</A>!  Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> an option.
7   Implement <A HREF="options.html#'prompt'">'prompt'</A> option.	Init to off when stdin is not a tty.
7   Add a way to send an email for a crashed edit session.  Create a file when
    making changes (containing name of the swap file), delete <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> when <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A>
    the file.  Supply a program that can check for crashed sessions (either
    all, for a system <A HREF="starting.html#startup">startup</A>, or for one user, for in a .login file).
7   <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> doesn't <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> autoindenting when input is not from a tty (in <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> mode).
7   &quot;z3&lt;CR&gt;&quot; should still use the whole <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, but only redisplay 3 lines.
7   &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tag">:tag</A> xx&quot; should move the cursor to the first non-blank.  Or should <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> go
    to the match with the <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>?	Option?
7   Implement 'autoprint'/'ap' option.
7   Add flag in <A HREF="options.html#'cpoptions'">'cpoptions'</A> that makes <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;BS&gt;">&lt;BS&gt;</A> after a <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> work like <A HREF="change.html#&lt;Del&gt;">&lt;Del&gt;</A>
    (Sayre).
7   Add flag in <A HREF="options.html#'cpoptions'">'cpoptions'</A> that makes <A HREF="motion.html#operator">operator</A> (yank, <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A>) not move the
    cursor, at least when cancelled. (default <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> compatible).
7   This Vi-trick doesn't work: &quot;<A HREF="intro.html#Q">Q</A>&quot; to go to <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> mode, then &quot;g/pattern/visual&quot;.
    In <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> you can edit in visual mode, and when doing &quot;<A HREF="intro.html#Q">Q</A>&quot; you jump to the next
    match.  <A HREF="intro.html#Nvi">Nvi</A> can <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> too.
7   Support '\' for line continuation in <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> mode for these commands: (Luebking)
	g/./a\		    g/pattern1/ s/pattern2/rep1\\
	line 1\		    line 2\\
	line 2\		    line 3\\
	.		    line4/
6   &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:e">:e</A> /tmp/$tty&quot; doesn't work.  &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:e">:e</A> $uid&quot; does.  Is $tty not set because of
    the way the shell is started?
6   <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> compatibility (optional): make &quot;ia&lt;CR&gt;&lt;ESC&gt;10.&quot; <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> the same strange
    thing.  (only repeat insert for the first line).


<A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK+">GTK+</A> <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> known bugs:
9   Crash with X command server over ssh. (Ciaran McCreesh, 2006 Feb 6)

    creating a label?
8   <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> 2: Combining <A HREF="mbyte.html#UTF-8">UTF-8</A> characters are sometimes not drawn properly.
    Depends on the font size, &quot;monospace 13&quot; has the problem.  Vim seems to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A>
    everything right, must be a <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> bug.  Is there a way to work around <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>?
9   Can't paste a <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> selection from GTK-gvim to vim in xterm or <A HREF="gui_x11.html#Motif">Motif</A> <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A>
    when <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is longer than 4000 characters.  Works OK from <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> to <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> and
    vim to vim.  Pasting through xterm (using the <A HREF="intro.html#shift">shift</A> key) also works.
    It starts working after <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> loses the selection and gains <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> again.
-   Gnome2: When moving the toolbar out of the dock, so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> becomes
    floating, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can no longer be moved.  Therefore making <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> float has been
    blocked for now.


<A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> known bugs:
-   <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>: tearoff menu <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> should have a scrollbar when it's taller than
    the screen.
8   The <A HREF="starting.html#-P">-P</A> argument doesn't work very well with many <A HREF="starting.html#MDI">MDI</A> applications.
    The last argument of CreateWindowEx() should be used, see MSDN docs.
 Tutorial:	<A HREF="http://win32assembly.online.fr/tut32.html">http://win32assembly.online.fr/tut32.html</A>
8   In eval.c, io.h is included when MSWIN32 is defined.  Shouldn't this be
    WIN32?  Or can including io.h be moved to vim.h? (Dan Sharp)
6   <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>: With &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#-u">-u</A> NONE <A HREF="starting.html#-U">-U</A> NONE&quot; and doing &quot;<A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> v&quot; &quot;<A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> o&quot;, the &quot;<A HREF="cmdline.html#:">:</A>&quot;
    of &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:only">:only</A>&quot; is highlighted like the cursor.  (Lipelis)
8   When <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A> is &quot;<A HREF="mbyte.html#utf-8">utf-8</A>&quot;, should use <A HREF="options.html#'guifont'">'guifont'</A> for both normal and wide
    characters to make Asian languages work.  <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> fonts contain both
    type of characters.
7   When font smoothing is enabled, redrawing can become very slow.  The reason
    appears to be drawing with a transparent background.  Would <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> be possible
    to use an opaque background in most places?
7   The cursor color indicating <A HREF="mbyte.html#IME">IME</A> mode doesn't work properly. (Shizhu Pan,
    2004 May 9)
8   <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>: When clicking on the <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> title <A HREF="motion.html#bar">bar</A>, which gives <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> focus, produces
    a file-changed <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>, after clicking on a button in that <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> the <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A>
    <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> follows the mouse.  The button-up event is lost.  Only with
    <A HREF="os_win32.html#MS-Windows">MS-Windows</A> 98?
    Try this: &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="options.html#'sw'">sw</A> ts&quot;, get enter-prompt, then change the file in a
    console, go back to Vim and click &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#reload">reload</A>&quot; in the <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> for the changed
    file: Window moves with the cursor!
    Put focus event in input buffer and let generic Vim code handle <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>?
8   <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>: With maximized <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> go-=r&quot; doesn't use the space that
    comes available. (Poucet)  It works OK on Win 98 but doesn't work on Win
    NT 4.0.  Leaves a grey area where the scrollbar was.  &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> go+=r&quot; also
    doesn't work properly.
8   When Vim is minimized and when maximizing <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> a file-changed <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> pops
    up, Vim isn't maximized.  It should be done before the <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>, so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    appears in the right position. (Webb)
9   When selecting at the <A HREF="message.html#more-prompt">more-prompt</A> or <A HREF="message.html#hit-enter-prompt">hit-enter-prompt</A>, the right mouse
    button doesn't give popup menu.
    At the <A HREF="message.html#hit-enter">hit-enter</A> prompt <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-Y">CTRL-Y</A> doesn't work to copy the modeless
    selection.
    On the command line, don't get a popup menu for the right mouse button.
    Let the middle button paste selected text (not the <A HREF="gui.html#clipboard">clipboard</A> but the
    non-Visual selection)?  Otherwise <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-Y">CTRL-Y</A> has to be used to copy the text.
8   When <A HREF="options.html#'grepprg'">'grepprg'</A> doesn't execute, the error only flashes by, the
    user can hardly see what is wrong. (Moore)
    Could use vimrun with an &quot;-nowait&quot; argument to only wait when an error
    occurs, but &quot;command.com&quot; doesn't return an error code.
8   When the <A HREF="options.html#'shell'">'shell'</A> cannot be executed, should give an appropriate error msg.
    Esp. for a <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A> command, currently <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> only complains the file could not
    be read.
7   Add an option to add one pixel column to the character width?  Lucida
    Console <A HREF="syntax.html#italic">italic</A> is wider than the normal font (&quot;d&quot; overlaps with next char).
    Opposite of <A HREF="options.html#'linespace'">'linespace'</A>: 'columnspace'.
7   At the <A HREF="message.html#hit-enter">hit-enter</A> prompt <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A> now no longer works.  Need to use the
    keyboard to get around this.  Pretend <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;CR&gt;">&lt;CR&gt;</A> was hit when the user tries to
    scroll?
7   Scrollbar width doesn't change when selecting other <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> appearance.
    Also background color of Toolbar and rectangle below vert. scrollbar.
6   Drawing text transparently doesn't seem to work (when drawing part cursor).
8   CTRL key doesn't always work in combination with ALT key.  It does work
    for function keys, not for alphabetic characters.  Perhaps this is because
    CTRL-ALT is used by Windows <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> AltGr?
8   CTRL-- doesn't work for AZERTY, because it's CTRL-[ for QWERTY.  How <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> we
    know which keyboard is being used?
7   When <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A>, and a background color is dithered, the dither <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>
    doesn't always join correctly between the scrolled area and the new drawn
    area (Koloseike).
8   When gui_init_font() is called with &quot;*&quot;, p_guifont is freed while <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> might
    still be used somewhere.  This is too tricky, <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> the font selection first,
    then set the new font by name (requires putting all logfont parameters in
    the font name).


<A HREF="gui_x11.html#Athena">Athena</A> and <A HREF="gui_x11.html#Motif">Motif</A>:
6   New <A HREF="gui_x11.html#Motif">Motif</A> toolbar button from Marcin Dalecki:
    - When the mouse pointer is over an Agide button the red becomes black.
      Something with the way colors are specified in the .xpm file.
    - The pixmap is two pixels smaller than <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> should be.  The gap is filled
      with grey instead of the current toolbar background color.
9   Can configure be changed to disable <A HREF="netbeans.html#netbeans">netbeans</A> if the Xpm library is
    required and it's missing?
8   When using the resource &quot;Vim*borderwidth 2&quot; the widgets are positioned
    wrong.
9   <A HREF="mbyte.html#XIM">XIM</A> is disabled by default for SGI/IRIX.  Fix <A HREF="mbyte.html#XIM">XIM</A> so that <A HREF="options.html#'imdisable'">'imdisable'</A> can
    be off by default.
9   <A HREF="mbyte.html#XIM">XIM</A> doesn't work properly for Athena/Motif. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)  For now,
    keep <A HREF="mbyte.html#XIM">XIM</A> active at all times when the input method has the preediting
    flag.
8   <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A>: A menu that contains an umlaut is truncated at that character.
    Happens when the <A HREF="mbyte.html#locale">locale</A> is &quot;<A HREF="change.html#C">C</A>&quot;, which uses ASCII instead of IS0-8859-1.
    Is there a way to use latin1 by default?  Gnome_init() seems to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this.
8   Perhaps use fontsets for everything?
6   When starting in English and switching the language to <A HREF="mbyte.html#Japanese">Japanese</A>, setting
    the <A HREF="mbyte.html#locale">locale</A> with &quot;<A HREF="mlang.html#:lang">:lang</A>&quot;, <A HREF="options.html#'guifontset'">'guifontset'</A> and &quot;hi menu font=&quot;, <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A> all
    <A HREF="gui.html#menus">menus</A> and setting them again, the <A HREF="gui.html#menus">menus</A> don't use the new font.  Most of
    the tooltips work though...
7   <A HREF="gui_x11.html#Motif">Motif</A>: when using a file selection <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>, the specified file name is not
    always used (when specifying a <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A> or another directory).
8   When <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A> is different from the current <A HREF="mbyte.html#locale">locale</A> (e.g., <A HREF="mbyte.html#utf-8">utf-8</A>) the
    menu strings don't work.  Requires conversion from <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A> to the
    current <A HREF="mbyte.html#locale">locale</A>.  Workaround: set <A HREF="options.html#'langmenu'">'langmenu'</A>.


<A HREF="gui_x11.html#Athena">Athena</A> <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>:
9   The first event for any button in the menu or toolbar appears to get lost.
    The second click on a menu does work.
9   When dragging the scrollbar thumb very fast, focus is only obtained in
    the scrollbar itself.  And the thumb is no longer updated when moving
    through files.
7   The file selector is not resizable.  With a big font <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is difficult to
    read long file names. (Schroeder)
4   Re-write the widget attachments and code so that we will not have to go
    through and calculate the absolute position of every widget every time the
    <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> is refreshed/changes size.  This will help the &quot;flashing-widgets&quot;
    problem during a refresh.
5   When starting <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> with all the default colors and then typing
    &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#:hi">:hi</A> Menu guibg=cyan&quot;, the <A HREF="gui.html#menus">menus</A> change color but the background of the
    pullright pixmap doesn't change colors.
    If you type &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#:hi">:hi</A> Menu guibg=cyan font=anyfont&quot;, then the pixmap changes
    colors <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> should.
    Allocating a new pixmap and setting the resource doesn't change the
    pullright pixmap's colors.  Why?  Possible <A HREF="gui_x11.html#Athena">Athena</A> bug?


<A HREF="gui_x11.html#Motif">Motif</A> <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>:

    David Harrison says it's OK (it exists in <A HREF="gui_x11.html#Motif">Motif</A> 1.2).
8   Lesstif: When <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A> a menu that's torn off, the torn off menu becomes

8   When setting <A HREF="options.html#'langmenu'">'langmenu'</A>, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> should be effective immediately.  Store both
    the English and the translated text in the menu structure.  Re-generate
    the translation when <A HREF="options.html#'langmenu'">'langmenu'</A> has changed.
8   Basic flaw in the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> code: NextScreen is updated before calling
    gui_write(), but the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> code relies on NextScreen to represent the state
    of where <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is processing the output.
    Need better separation of Vim core and <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> code.
8   When <A HREF="mbyte.html#fontset">fontset</A> support is enabled, setting <A HREF="options.html#'guifont'">'guifont'</A> to a single font
    doesn't work.
8   Menu priority for sub-menus for: <A HREF="os_amiga.html#Amiga">Amiga</A>.
8   When translating <A HREF="gui.html#menus">menus</A> ignore the part after the <A HREF="intro.html#Tab">Tab</A>, the shortcut.  So
    that the same menu item with a different shortcut (e.g., for the <A HREF="os_mac.html#Mac">Mac</A>) are
    still translated.
8   Add menu separators for <A HREF="os_amiga.html#Amiga">Amiga</A>.
8   Add way to specify the file <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A> for the browse <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>.  At least for
    <A HREF="eval.html#browse()">browse()</A>.
8   Add <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> for search/replace to other GUIs?  Tk has something for this,
    use that code?  Or use console <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>.
8   When selecting a font with the font <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> and the font is invalid, the
    error message disappears too quick.
7   More features in the find/replace <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>:
    - <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> on/off
    - search in selection/buffer/all buffers/directory
       when all buffers/directory is used:
	- <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A> for file name
       when directory is used:
	- subdirectory on/off
	- top directory browser
8   gui_check_colors() is not called at the right moment.  Do <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> much later,
    to avoid problems.
8   gui_update_cursor() is called for a cursor shape change, even when there
    are mappings to be processed.  Only <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> something when going to wait for
    input.  Or maybe every 100 ms?
8   <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A>: When the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> size is reduced to fit on screen, there are blank
    lines below the text and bottom scrollbar.  &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> <A HREF="gui_x11.html#-geometry">-geometry</A> 80x78+0+0&quot;.
    When the &quot;+0+0&quot; is omitted <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> works.
8   When starting an external command, and <A HREF="options.html#'guipty'">'guipty'</A> set, BS and DEL are mixed
    up.  Set erase character somehow?
8   A dead circumflex followed by a space should give the '<A HREF="motion.html#^">^</A>' character
    (Rommel).  Look how xterm does this.
    Also: Bednar has some code for dead key handling.
    Also: Nedit 5.0.2 with USE_XMIM does <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> right. (Gaya)
8   The compose key doesn't work properly (Cepas).  Both for <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> and <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A>.
7   The cursor in an inactive <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> should be hollow.  Currently it's not
    visible.
7   <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> on Solaris 2.5.1, using /usr/dt/..: When <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> starts, cursor is
    hollow, after <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> lowered/raised it's OK. (Godfrey)
7   When starting <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> with &quot;<A HREF="gui_x11.html#:gui">:gui</A>&quot;, and <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> is made smaller because <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    doesn't fit on the screen, there is an extra redraw.
8   When setting font with <A HREF="gui_x11.html#.Xdefaults">.Xdefaults</A>, there is an extra empty line at the
    bottom, which disappears when using &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="options.html#'guifont'">guifont</A>=&lt;Tab&gt;&quot;. (Chadzelek)
8   When font shape changes, but not the size, doing &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> font=&quot; does not
    redraw the screen with the new font.  Also for <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>.
    When the size changes, on Solaris 2.5 there isn't a redraw for the
    remaining part of the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> (Phillipps).
-   Flashes really badly in certain cases when running remotely from a Sun.
4   Re-write the code so that the highlighting isn't changed multiple times
    when doing a &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#:hi">:hi</A> clear&quot;.  The color changes happen three or more times
    currently.  This is very obvious on a 66Mhz 486.

8   When editing a file on a Samba server, <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> might matter.  &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:e">:e</A> file&quot;
    followed by &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:e">:e</A> FILE&quot; will edit &quot;file&quot; again, even though &quot;FILE&quot; might be
    another one.  Set last used name in buflist_new()?  Fix do_ecmd(), etc.
 8 When a buffer is editing a file like &quot;ftp://mach/file&quot;, which is not going
    to be used like a normal file name, don't change the slashes to
    backslashes. (Ronald Hoellwarth)


<A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> console:
9   When editing a file by its short file name, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> should be expanded into its
    long file name, to avoid problems like these: (Mccollister)
     1) Create a file called &quot;.bashrc&quot; using some other editor.
     2) Drag that file onto a shortcut or the actual executable.
     3) Note that the file name is something like BASHRC~1
     4) Go to File-&gt;Save As menu item and type &quot;.bashrc&quot; <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> the file name.
     5) Press &quot;Yes&quot; to indicate that I want to overwrite the file.
     6) Note that the message &quot;File exists (add ! to override)&quot; is displayed
	and the file is not saved.
    Use FindFirstFile() to expand a file name and directory in the path to its
    long name.
8   Also implement <A HREF="options.html#'conskey'">'conskey'</A> option for the <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> console version?  Look at
    how Xvi does console I/O under Windows NT.

    besides the console.
8   Use of &lt;altgr&gt; modifier doesn't work?  5.3 was OK. (Garcia-Suarez/Guckes)
9   Mapping &lt;C-S-Tab&gt; doesn't work correctly.  How to see the difference with

9   tmpnam() uses file in root of file system: &quot;\asdf&quot;.  That doesn't work on

&quot;Small&quot; problems:
-   Can't disable <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A> flow <A HREF="intro.html#control">control</A>, to enable the use of CTRL-S and
    <A HREF="gui_w32.html#CTRL-Q">CTRL-Q</A>.  Add an option for <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>?
-   When using e_secure in do_one_cmd() mention the command being executed,
    otherwise it's not clear where <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> comes from.
-   When the <A HREF="quickfix.html#quickfix">quickfix</A> <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> is open and executing &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#:echo">:echo</A> 'hello&#39;&#34;' using the

    (Michael Henry, 2008 Nov 1)
    Generic solution: When redrawing while there is a message on the
    cmdline, don't erase the display but draw over the existing text.
    Other solution, redraw after closing the cmdline <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, before executing
    the command.
9   For Turkish vim_tolower() and vim_toupper() also need to use utf_
    <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A> for characters below 0x80. (Sertacyildiz)
9   When the last edited file is a help file, using <A HREF="motion.html#'0">'0</A> in a new Vim doesn't
    edit the file <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a help file.  <A HREF="options.html#'filetype'">'filetype'</A> is OK, but <A HREF="options.html#'iskeyword'">'iskeyword'</A> isn't,
    file isn't readonly, etc.
8   When an &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:edit">:edit</A>&quot; is inside a try command and the <A HREF="usr_11.html#ATTENTION">ATTENTION</A> prompt is used,
    the <A HREF="eval.html#:catch">:catch</A> commands are always executed, also when the file is edited
    normally.  Should reset did_emsg and <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> side effects.  Also make sure
    the <A HREF="usr_11.html#ATTENTION">ATTENTION</A> message shows up.  Servatius Brandt works on this.
7   Vimtutor leaves <A HREF="intro.html#escape">escape</A> sequence in <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A>. This is the xterm response to
    requesting the version number.  (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
8   When redirecting and using &quot;<A HREF="various.html#:silent">:silent</A>&quot; the current column for displaying and
    redirection can be different.  Use a separate variable to hold the column
    for redirection.
7   The <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> for &quot;vim --help&quot; and &quot;vim --version&quot; don't use
    <A HREF="options.html#'termencoding'">'termencoding'</A>.
-   Could the <A HREF="message.html#hit-enter">hit-enter</A> prompt be avoided when a message only overlaps the
    <A HREF="options.html#'showcmd'">'showcmd'</A> area?  Clear that area when the next cmd is typed.
8   When <A HREF="options.html#'scrollbind'">'scrollbind'</A> is set, a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> won't scroll horizontally if the cursor
    line is too short.  Add a <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> in <A HREF="options.html#'scrollopt'">'scrollopt'</A> to allow moving the cursor
    to longer line that is visible.  A similar thing is done for the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> when
    using the horizontal scrollbar.
7   <A HREF="if_ole.html#VisVim">VisVim</A> can only open one file.  Hard to solve: each opened file is passed
    with a separate invocation, would need to use <A HREF="editing.html#timestamps">timestamps</A> to know the

8   When giving a &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:bwipeout">:bwipeout</A>&quot; command a file-changed <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> may popup for this
    buffer, which is pointless.  (Mike Williams)
8   On <A HREF="os_win32.html#MS-Windows">MS-Windows</A> &quot;<A HREF="quickfix.html#:make">:make</A>&quot; doesn't show output while <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is working.  Use the

    UnxUtils.zip archive.
    Is <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> better than what we have in src/tee?
8   When doing <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode completion a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> cannot recursively call
    edit(), because the completion information is global.  Put everything in
    an allocated structure?
8   Command line completion: <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A> &quot;foo.txt&quot; and &quot;../b/foo.txt&quot;, completing
    &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:buf">:buf</A> foo&lt;Tab&gt;&quot; doesn't find the second one. (George <A HREF="visual.html#V">V</A>. Reilly)
7   mb_off2cells() doesn't work correctly on the tail byte of a double-byte
    character. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)  It should return 1 when used on a tail
    byte, like for <A HREF="mbyte.html#utf-8">utf-8</A>.  Store second byte of double-byte in ScreenLines2[]
    (like for DBCS_JPNU) and put a zero in the second byte (like for <A HREF="mbyte.html#UTF-8">UTF-8</A>).
7   Inside a function with &quot;<A HREF="if_perl.html#perl">perl</A> &lt;&lt;EOF&quot; a line with &quot;$i++&quot; is recognized <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> an
    &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#:insert">:insert</A>&quot; command, causing the following &quot;endfunction&quot; not to be found.
    Add skipping this <A HREF="if_perl.html#perl">perl</A> construction inside function <A HREF="intro.html#definitions">definitions</A>.
7   When <A HREF="options.html#'ttimeoutlen'">'ttimeoutlen'</A> is 10 and <A HREF="options.html#'timeoutlen'">'timeoutlen'</A> is 1000, there is a keycode
    &quot;&lt;Esc&gt;a&quot; and a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> &lt;Esc&gt;x&quot;, when typing &quot;&lt;Esc&gt;a&quot; with half a second

7   The Cygwin and MingW makefiles define &quot;PC&quot;, but it's not used anywhere.
    Remove? (Dan Sharp)
9   <A HREF="autocmd.html#User">User</A> commands use the context of the <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> they were defined in.  This
    causes a &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#s:var">s:var</A>&quot; argument to unexpectedly use a variable in the defining
    <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A>, not the calling <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A>.  Add an argument to &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:command">:command</A>&quot;:
    &quot;-keepcontext&quot;.  Do replace <A HREF="map.html#&lt;SID&gt;">&lt;SID&gt;</A>, so that a function in the defining
    <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> can be called.
8   The <A HREF="mbyte.html#Japanese">Japanese</A> message translations for <A HREF="os_win32.html#MS-Windows">MS-Windows</A> are called ja.sjis.po,
    but they use encoding cp932.  Rename the file and check that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> still
    works.
8   A very long message in <A HREF="eval.html#confirm()">confirm()</A> can't be quit.  Make this possible with
    <A HREF="pattern.html#CTRL-C">CTRL-C</A>.
8   &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#gf">gf</A>&quot; always excludes trailing punctuation characters.  file_name_in_line()
    is currently fixed to use &quot;.,:;!&quot;.  Add an option to make this
    configurable?
8   <A HREF="options.html#'hkmap'">'hkmap'</A> should probably be <A HREF="options.html#global-local">global-local</A>.
8   Using &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:s">:s</A>&quot; in a function changes the previous replacement <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>.  Save
    &quot;old_sub&quot; in save_search_patterns()?
8   Should allow <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> characters for the delimiter: &quot;:s+a+b+&quot; where &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#+">+</A>&quot;
    is a <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> character.
8   When appending to a file and <A HREF="options.html#'patchmode'">'patchmode'</A> isn't empty, a <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> file is
    always written, even when the original file already exists.
9   When getting focus while <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> a large file, could warn for this file
    being changed outside of Vim.  Avoid checking this while the file is being
    written.
7   The message in bt_dontwrite_msg() could be clearer.
8   The <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> ID that is stored with an option and displayed with &quot;<A HREF="various.html#:verbose">:verbose</A>
    set&quot; isn't reset when the option is set internally.  For example when
    <A HREF="options.html#'foldlevel'">'foldlevel'</A> is set from <A HREF="options.html#'foldlevelstart'">'foldlevelstart'</A>.
8   Also store the line number with the <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> ID and use <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> for &quot;<A HREF="various.html#:verbose">:verbose</A>&quot;,
    so that &quot;set nocompatible&quot; is found when <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> changes other option values.
    When an option is set indirectly mention the command?  E.g. when
    &quot;<A HREF="diff.html#:diffsplit">:diffsplit</A>&quot; sets <A HREF="options.html#'foldmethod'">'foldmethod'</A>.
8   In the fileformat <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>, &quot;Cancel&quot; isn't translated.  Add a global
    variable for this. (Eduardo Fernandez)
9   When editing a file with <A HREF="options.html#'readonly'">'readonly'</A> set, there is no check for an existing
    swap file.  Then using &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:write">:write</A>&quot; (without making any changes) doesn't give
    a warning either.  Should check for an existing swap file without creating
    one. Unfinished patch by Ian Kelling, 2008 July 14.
7   When <A HREF="options.html#'showbreak'">'showbreak'</A> is set, the amount of space a <A HREF="intro.html#Tab">Tab</A> occupies changes.
    Should work like <A HREF="options.html#'showbreak'">'showbreak'</A> is inserted without <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> the Tabs.
7   When <A HREF="options.html#'mousefocus'">'mousefocus'</A> is set and switching to another <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> with a typed
    command, the mouse pointer may be moved to a part of the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> that's
    covered by another <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> and we lose focus.  Only move in the <A HREF="change.html#y">y</A>
    direction, not horizontally?
8   &quot;<A HREF="print.html#:hardcopy">:hardcopy</A>&quot;:
    - Using the cterm_color[] table is wrong when t_colors is <A HREF="change.html#&gt;">&gt;</A> 16.

8   When <A HREF="options.html#'virtualedit'">'virtualedit'</A> is &quot;block,insert&quot; and encoding is &quot;<A HREF="mbyte.html#utf-8">utf-8</A>&quot;, selecting a

8   Vim can overwrite a read-only file with &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:w!">:w!</A>&quot;.  &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:w">:w</A>&quot; can't overwrite an
    existing file, &quot;w!&quot; can, but perhaps not a read-only file?  Then use
    &quot;:w!!&quot; for that.
    Or ask for permission to overwrite <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> (if file can be made writable) and
    restore file to readonly afterwards.
    Overwriting a file for which a swap file exists is similar issue.
7   When compiled with &quot;xterm_clipboard&quot;, <A HREF="starting.html#startup">startup</A> can be slower and might get
    error message for invalid $DISPLAY.  Try connecting to the X server in the
    background (forked), so that Vim starts up quicker?  Connect <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> soon <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A>
    the <A HREF="gui.html#clipboard">clipboard</A> is to be used (Visual select mode starts, paste from
    <A HREF="gui.html#clipboard">clipboard</A>)
7   <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A>: Some people prefer to use CLIPBOARD instead of PRIMARY for the normal
    selection.  Add an &quot;xclipboard&quot; argument to the <A HREF="options.html#'clipboard'">'clipboard'</A> option? (Mark
    Waggoner)
8   For xterm need to open a connection to the X server to get the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>
    title, which can be slow.  Can also get the title with &quot;&lt;Esc&gt;[21t&quot;, no
    need to use <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A> calls.  This returns &quot;&lt;Esc&gt;]l{title}&lt;Esc&gt;\&quot;.
6   When the xterm reports the number of colors, a redraw occurs.  This is
    annoying on a slow connection.  Wait for the xterm to report the number of
    colors before drawing the screen.  With a timeout.
8   When the builtin xterm <A HREF="term.html#termcap">termcap</A> contains codes that are not wanted, need a
    way to avoid using the builtin <A HREF="term.html#termcap">termcap</A>.
8   Xterm sends ^[[H for <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;Home&gt;">&lt;Home&gt;</A> and ^[[F for <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;End&gt;">&lt;End&gt;</A> in some mode.  Also
    recognize these keys?  Mostly useful for xterm simulators, like gnometerm.
 See	<A HREF="http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.faq.html#xterm_pc_style">http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.faq.html#xterm_pc_style</A>.
8   For xterm also recognize keypad up/down/left/right and insert.
8   <A HREF="motion.html#'[">'[</A> and <A HREF="motion.html#']">']</A> should be set to start/end of line when using a <A HREF="motion.html#linewise">linewise</A> <A HREF="motion.html#operator">operator</A>
    (e.g., &quot;:w&quot;).
8   <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-A">CTRL-A</A> can't handle big &quot;long&quot; numbers, they become negative.  Check for
    &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#-">-</A>&quot; character, if not present, use unsigned long.
8   Add suspending with <A HREF="starting.html#CTRL-Z">CTRL-Z</A> at the &quot;more&quot; prompt, and when executing a long
    <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> in do_cmdline().
8   When using <A HREF="options.html#'hidden'">'hidden'</A>, many swap files will be open.  When Vim runs into the
    maximum number of open files, error <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> will appear.  Detect that
    this problem is present, and close any hidden files that don't have
    changes.
8   With <A HREF="options.html#'viminfo'">'viminfo'</A> set such that the &quot;.viminfo&quot; file is written on a FAT
    filesystem, an illegal file name may be created: &quot;.vim&quot;.
8   For each buffer that is opened, the <A HREF="starting.html#viminfo">viminfo</A> file is opened and read to
    check for file marks.  This can be slow.
7   In xterm, recognize both vt100 and vt220 cursor keys.  Change
    add_termcode() to not remove an existing entry for a name, when it's
    needed.
    Need a generic solution to recognize different codes for the same key.
8   Core dump within signal function: <A HREF="debug.html#gdb">gdb</A> doesn't show stack backtrace!  Option
    to skip catch_signals()?
9   Repeating a &quot;<A HREF="change.html#cw">cw</A>&quot; with &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; doesn't work if the text was pasted from the
    <A HREF="gui.html#clipboard">clipboard</A>. (Thomas Jones)  It's because the menu/toolbar item exits <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A>
    mode and uses &quot;<A HREF="change.html#gP">gP</A>&quot;.  How to fix this without breaking <A HREF="insert.html#inserting">inserting</A> a block of
    text?
8   In <A HREF="insert.html#Replace">Replace</A> mode pasting from the <A HREF="gui.html#clipboard">clipboard</A> (using menu or toolbar) inserts
    all the text.  Add &quot;:rmenu&quot;?
8   Pasting with the mouse in <A HREF="insert.html#Replace">Replace</A> mode inserts the text, instead of
    overwriting, when <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is more than one line.  Same for using &lt;C-R&gt;.
9   <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-E">CTRL-E</A> and <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-Y">CTRL-Y</A> don't work in small <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> when <A HREF="options.html#'so'">'so'</A> is 4 and lines are
    wrapping (Acevedo/in.226).  E.g., when using <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-E">CTRL-E</A>, <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> height 7,
    <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> might actually scroll down when last line of buffer is displayed.
    --&gt; Remember if the previous command was &quot;cursor follows screen&quot; or
    &quot;screen follow cursor&quot; and use this in cursupdate().
7   tilde_replace() can only handle &quot;~/&quot;, should also <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> &quot;~user/&quot;.
    Get the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of home directories (from /etc/passwd?  Use getpwent()) and
    use some clever algorithm to match a path with that.  Find common strings
    in the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>?
8   When dragging status line with mouse, sometimes a jump when first clicking
    on the status line (caused by <A HREF="options.html#'winheight'">'winheight'</A>).  <A HREF="visual.html#Select">Select</A> <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> on button up,
    instead of on button down.
8   Dragging the status line doesn't scroll but redraw.
9   Evaluating <A HREF="options.html#'statusline'">'statusline'</A> in build_stl_str_hl() does not properly check for
    reaching the end of the available buffer.
    Patch to dynamically allocate the buffer for <A HREF="motion.html#&#37;">&#37;</A> items. (Eric Arnold, 2006
    May 14)
8   When performing incremental search, should abort searching <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> soon <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a
    character is typed.
8   When the value of $MAKE contains a path, configure can't handle this.
    It's an autoconf bug.  Remove the path from $MAKE to work around <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
8   How to set VIMRC_FILE to \&quot;something\&quot; for configure?  Why does this not
    work: CFLAGS='-DVIMRC_FILE=\&quot;/mydir/myfile\&quot;' ./configure
8   The temporary file is sometimes not writable.  Check for this, and use an
    alternate name when <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> isn't.  Or add the 'temptemplate' option: <A HREF="autocmd.html#template">template</A>
    for the temp file name &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> temptemplate=/usr/tmp/?????.tmp&quot;.
    Also: <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> version uses Windows temp directory, which might not work for
    cygwin bash.
7   Get error &quot;*, \+ or \( operand could be empty&quot; for <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> &quot;\(.\)\1\{3}&quot;.
    Remember flags for backreferences.
7   When switching to Daylight Saving Time, Vim complains that a file has been
    changed since last read.  Can we use a function that uses GMT?
7   When completing an environment variable after a '<A HREF="motion.html#$">$</A>', check for file names
    that contain a '<A HREF="motion.html#$">$</A>' after all have been found.
8   When &quot;cm&quot; <A HREF="term.html#termcap">termcap</A> entry is missing, starting <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> shouldn't complain about
    <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>. (Lohner)  Try out with &quot;vt100&quot; entry, cm replaced with cX.
7   When an include file starts with &quot;../&quot;, the check for already visiting
    this file doesn't work.  Need to simplify the file name.
7   The names and comments for the arguments of do_browse() are confusing.
    &quot;dflt&quot; isn't the default file name when &quot;initdir&quot; is not NULL and
    &quot;initdir&quot; is the default path to be used.
7   When <A HREF="options.html#'scrolloff'">'scrolloff'</A> is exactly half the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> height, &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#j">j</A>&quot; causes a scroll of
    two lines at a time.  &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#k">k</A>&quot; doesn't <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this. (Cory <A HREF="motion.html#T">T</A>. Echols)

7   It's possible to redefine a <A HREF="map.html#script-local">script-local</A> function with &quot;:func
    &lt;SNR&gt;123_Test()&quot;. (Krishna)  Disallow this.


I can't reproduce these (if you can, let me know how!):

Problems that will (probably) not be solved:
-   <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A>: when using the popup menu with spelling suggestions and releasing the
    right mouse button before the menu appears selecting an item with the
    right mouse button has no effect.  <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> does not produce an event for this.
-   <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> 2: Cannot use the file selector.  When using <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> many things become
    slow.  This is caused by some code in <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> that writes
    ~/.recently-used.xbel every time an event is handled.  It assumes the main
    loop is never quit, which is a wrong assumption.  Also, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> overwrites the
    file with different file permissions, which is a privacy issue.  This
    needs to be fixed in <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A>.  A solution in Vim would be really complicated.
    (2008 Jul 31)  This appears to be fixed in Vim 7.3.
-   xterm title: The following scenario may occur (esp. when running the Vim
    test script): Vim 1 sets the title to &quot;file1&quot;, then restores the title to
    &quot;xterm&quot; with an ESC sequence when <A HREF="starting.html#exiting">exiting</A>.  Vim 2 obtains the old title
    with an X library call, this may result in &quot;file1&quot;, because the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>
    manager hasn't processed the &quot;xterm&quot; title yet.  Can apparently only be
    worked around with a delay.
-   In a <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A> with <A HREF="options.html#'mouse'">'mouse'</A> set such that the mouse is active when entering
    a command line, after executing a shell command that scrolls up the
    display and then pressing &quot;<A HREF="cmdline.html#:">:</A>&quot;: Selecting text with the mouse works like
    the display wasn't scrolled.  Vim doesn't know how much the external
    command scrolled up the display.  Use Shift to select text.
-   X <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>: When $DISPLAY points to a X server where there is no access
    permission, trying to connect to the X server causes an error message.
    XtOpenDisplay() prints this directly, there is no way to avoid <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
-   X <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>: Setting <A HREF="options.html#'guifontset'">'guifontset'</A> to an illegal value sometimes crashes Vim.
    This is caused by a fault in a X library function, can't be solved in Vim.

    (e.g. <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> a file), the command for the shell is sometimes eaten by Vim,

-   <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> 2: gives an assertion error for every non-builtin icon in the toolbar.
    This is a <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> 2.4.x bug, fixed in <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> 2.4.2. (Thomas de Grenier de Latour)
-   When using an xterm that supports the termresponse feature, and the <A HREF="term.html#'t_Co'">'t_Co'</A>
    <A HREF="term.html#termcap">termcap</A> option was wrong when Vim started, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> will be corrected when the
    termresponse is received.  Since the number of colors changes, the
    highlighting needs to be initialized again.  This may cause colors defined
    in the <A HREF="starting.html#vimrc">vimrc</A> file to be lost.
-   On Windows NT 4.0 the number of files passed to Vim with drag&amp;drop and
    &quot;Edit with Vim&quot; is limited.  The maximum command line length is 255 chars.


						    *<A NAME="extensions-improvements"></A><B>extensions-improvements</B>*

Most interesting new features to be added when all bugs have been fixed:
-   Using &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#:exe">:exe</A> edit fname&quot; has escaping problems.  Use &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:edit">:edit</A> ++(fname)&quot;.
    Thus use &quot;++=&quot; to give arguments <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> expressions, comma separated <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> if
    calling a function.
    With <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>: &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:edit">:edit</A> ++(['!', '++enc=abc'], ['+/pat'], fname)&quot;.
    Alternative: Make a function for <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> commands: cmd_edit().
-   Add COLUMN NUMBERS to &quot;<A HREF="cmdline.html#:">:</A>&quot; commands &quot;:line1,line2[col1,col2]cmd&quot;.  Block
    can be selected with <A HREF="visual.html#CTRL-V">CTRL-V</A>.  Allow '<A HREF="motion.html#$">$</A>' (end of line) for col2.
-   ECLIPSE <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A>.  Problem is: the interface is very complicated.  Need to
    implement part in Java and then connect to Vim.  Some hints from Alexandru
    Roman, 2004 Dec 15.  Should then also work with Oracle Jdeveloper, see JSR
 198 standard	<A HREF="http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=198">http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=198</A>.
 Eclim does it:	<A HREF="http://eclim.sourceforge.net/">http://eclim.sourceforge.net/</A> Eric Van Dewoestine
 Plugin that uses a terminal emulator:	<A HREF="http://vimplugin.sf.net">http://vimplugin.sf.net</A>
 And another one:	<A HREF="http://www.satokar.com/viplugin/index.php">http://www.satokar.com/viplugin/index.php</A>
-   STICKY CURSOR: Add a way of <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A> that leaves the cursor where <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is.
    Especially when using the scrollbar.  Typing a cursor-movement command
    scrolls back to where the cursor is.
-   Scroll commands by screen line. <A HREF="index.html#g">g</A> <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-E">CTRL-E</A> and <A HREF="index.html#g">g</A> <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-Y">CTRL-Y</A> ?  Requires the
    first line to be able to start halfway.
8   Add a command to jump to a certain kind of <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>.  Allow the user to specify
    values for the optional fields.  E.g., &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tag">:tag</A> size type=m&quot;.
    Also allow specifying the file and command, so that the result of
    <A HREF="eval.html#taglist()">taglist()</A> can be used.
-   <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A>: Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to run Vim inside a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> of another program.
    This can be done with XReparentWindow().  But how exactly?


Documentation:
8   <A HREF="eval.html#List">List</A> of Vim runtime directories.  dotvim.txt from Charles Campbell, 2007
    Feb 20.
8   The <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> help should explain the Find and Find/Replace dialogs.  Add a link
    to <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> from &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:promptrepl">:promptrepl</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:promptfind">:promptfind</A>&quot;.
8   <A HREF="eval.html#List">List</A> of <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> should mention whether environment <A HREF="eval.html#variables">variables</A> are expanded
    or not.
8   Extend <A HREF="usr_27.html#usr_27.txt">usr_27.txt</A> a bit. (Adam Seyfarth)
9   Make the Reference Manual more precise.  For each command mention:
    - change to cursor position and curswant
    - if <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can be undone (u/CTRL-R) and redone (.)
    - how <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> works for folded lines
    - how <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> works with <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> characters
9   In <A HREF="change.html#change.txt">change.txt</A>, remark about Javadoc isn't right.  Right alignment would
    work too.
8   Spread the <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> commands over the other files.  For example, &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:stag">:stag</A>&quot;
    should be with &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tag">:tag</A>&quot;.  Cross-link with <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A> to avoid too much double
    text.
8   Add <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A> for all features, e.g. &quot;gui_running&quot;.
7   <A HREF="os_win32.html#MS-Windows">MS-Windows</A>: When a wrong command is typed with an ALT key, give a hint to
    look at the help for <A HREF="options.html#'winaltkeys'">'winaltkeys'</A>.
7   Add a help.vim <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> that maps <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;Tab&gt;">&lt;Tab&gt;</A> to jump to the next <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> in &#124;&#124; and
    &lt;C-Tab&gt; (and <A HREF="term.html#&lt;S-Tab&gt;">&lt;S-Tab&gt;</A>) to the previous <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>.
    Patch by Balazs Kezes, 2007 Dec 30.  Remark from A. Politz.
-   Check text editor compendium for <A HREF="intro.html#vi">vi</A> and Vim remarks.


Help:
-   First try using the &quot;<A HREF="helphelp.html#:help">:help</A>&quot; argument literally, before using <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a
    <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>.  And then match <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> part of a <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>.
-   When a help item has multiple matches make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to use &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tn">:tn</A>&quot; to go
    to the other matches.
-   Support a way to <A HREF="starting.html#view">view</A> (and edit) .info files.
-   Implement a &quot;sticky&quot; help <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, some help text lines that are always
    displayed in a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> with fixed height. (Guckes)  Use &quot;~/.vimhelp&quot; file,
    user can edit <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> to insert his favorite commands, new account can contain a
    default contents.
-   Make <A HREF="options.html#'winminheight'">'winminheight'</A> a local option, so that the user can set a minimal
    height for the help <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> (and other <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>).
-   &quot;<A HREF="helphelp.html#:help">:help</A> :s^I&quot; should expand to &quot;<A HREF="helphelp.html#:help">:help</A> :substitute&quot;.
-   Make the help key (&lt;F1&gt;) context sensitive?
-   Learn mode: show short help while typing commands.


<A HREF="autocmd.html#User">User</A> Friendlier:
8   Windows <A HREF="usr_90.html#install">install</A> with install.exe: Use .exe instead of .bat files for
    links, so that command line arguments are passed on unmodified? (Walter
    Briscoe)
8   Windows <A HREF="usr_90.html#install">install</A>: Be able to associate Vim with a selection of file types?
8   Windows uninstall: Have uninstal.c delete the <A HREF="options.html#vimfiles">vimfiles</A> directories that
    dosinst.c creates.  <A HREF="eval.html#List">List</A> the contents of the directory (recursively) if
    the user asks for <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  Requires an implementation of &quot;rm -rf&quot;.
8   Remember the name of the <A HREF="starting.html#vimrc">vimrc</A> file that was used (~/.vimrc, $VIM/_vimrc,
    $HOME/_vimrc, etc.) and add &quot;edit vimrc&quot; to the File menu.
-   Add a way to save local settings and mappings into a new <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> file.
    &quot;:mkplugin &lt;file&gt;&quot;?
-   Add mappings local to a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>: &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A> &lt;window&gt; ...&quot;?
9   Add buffer-local menu.  Should offer a choice between removing the menu or
    disabling <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  Be careful that tear-offs don't disappear (keep one empty
    item?).
    Alternative: use <A HREF="autocmd.html#BufEnter">BufEnter</A> and <A HREF="autocmd.html#BufLeave">BufLeave</A> autocommands.
8   make a <A HREF="usr_01.html#vimtutor">vimtutor</A> <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> for <A HREF="os_amiga.html#Amiga">Amiga</A> and other systems.
7   When Vim detects a file is being edited elsewhere and it's a <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> session
    of the same user <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> should offer a &quot;Raise&quot; button, so that the other <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A>
    <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> can be displayed. (Eduard)
8   Support saving and restoring session for X <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>?  It should work to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A>
    &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#:mksession">:mksession</A>&quot; and use &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#-S">-S</A> fname&quot; for the restart command.  The
    gui_x11_wm_protocol_handler() already takes care of the rest.
    global_event_filter() for <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A>.


<A HREF="intro.html#Tab">Tab</A> pages:
9   <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> implementation for the <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A> pages line for other systems.
7   <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>: Control over the appearance of the text in the labels (bold, color,
    font, etc.)
8   Make <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> menu in <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A> pages line configurable.  Like the popup menu.
8   balloons for the <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A> page labels that are shortened to show the full path.
7   :tabdup	 duplicate the <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A> with all its <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>.
7   Option to put <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A> line at the left or right?  Need an option to specify
    its width.  It's like a separate <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> with &quot;<A HREF="tabpage.html#:tabs">:tabs</A>&quot; output.
8   Add local <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> for each <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A> page?  E.g., <A HREF="options.html#'diffopt'">'diffopt'</A> could differ between
    <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A> pages.
7   Add local highlighting for each <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A> page?
7   Add local directory for <A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A> pages?  How would this interfere with
    window-local directories?


Spell checking:
-   Support more regions? Caolan McNamara argues it's needed for es_XX.
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=219777    
-   <A HREF="mbyte.html#Unicode">Unicode</A> defines another <A HREF="change.html#quote">quote</A> character: 0x2019.  Use <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> an equivalent
    of a single <A HREF="change.html#quote">quote</A>, thus use <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> character like a <A HREF="change.html#quote">quote</A> and match
    with words, <A HREF="change.html#replacing">replacing</A> the curly <A HREF="change.html#quote">quote</A> with a single <A HREF="change.html#quote.">quote.</A>
-   Could <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A> &amp;eacute; things for HTML before doing <A HREF="spell.html#spell">spell</A> checking.
    Similarly for TeX.
-   The Hungarian <A HREF="spell.html#spell">spell</A> file uses four extra characters in the FOL/UPP/LOW
    items than other <A HREF="spell.html#spell">spell</A> files with the ISO-8859-2 encoding, that causes
    problem when <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> <A HREF="options.html#'spelllang'">'spelllang'</A>.  There is no obvious way to fix this.
-   Considering Hunspell 1.1.4:
    What does MAXNGRAMSUGS <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A>?
    Is COMPLEXPREFIXES necessary when we have flags for affixes?
-   Support spelling words in CamelCase <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> if they were two separate words.
    Requires some option to enable <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>. (Timothy Knox)
-   There is no Finnish <A HREF="spell.html#spell">spell</A> checking file.  For openoffice Voikko is now
 used, which is based on Malaga:	<A HREF="http://home.arcor.de/bjoern-beutel/malaga/">http://home.arcor.de/bjoern-beutel/malaga/</A>
    (Teemu Likonen)
8   &quot;<A HREF="spell.html#:mkspell">:mkspell</A>&quot; still takes much too long in Hungarian dictionary from
    hunspell.  Only solution appears to be to postpone secondary <A HREF="cmdline.html#suffixes">suffixes</A>.
8   Handle postponed prefix with COMPOUNDPERMITFLAG or COMPOUNDFORBIDFLAG.
    WFP_COMPPERMIT and WFP_COMPFORBID
8   implement use of &lt;compoptions&gt; in .spl file:
    implement CHECKCOMPOUNDREP: when a compound <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> seems to be OK apply REP
    items and check if the result is a valid <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A>.
    implement CHECKCOMPOUNDDUP
    implement CHECKCOMPOUNDTRIPLE
    Add CHECKCOMPOUNDCASE: when compounding make leading capital lower <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A>.
    How is <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> supposed to work?
-   Add a command the repeats <A HREF="spell.html#]s">]s</A> and <A HREF="spell.html#z=">z=</A>, showing the misspelled <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> in its
    context.  Thus to spell-check a whole file.
-   suggestion for &quot;KG&quot; to &quot;kg&quot; when it's keepcase.
-   For flags on affixes: Use a &quot;AFFCOMPSET&quot; flag; means the compound flags of
    the <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> are not used.
-   Support breakpoint character ? 0xb7 and ignore <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>?  Makes <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to
    use same wordlist for hyphenation.
-   Compound <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> is accepted if nr of words is &lt;= COMPOUNDWORDMAX OR nr of
    syllables &lt;= COMPOUNDSYLMAX.  Specify using AND in the affix file?
-   NEEDCOMPOUND also used for affix?  Or is this called ONLYINCOMPOUND now?
    Or is ONLYINCOMPOUND only for inside a compound, not at start or end?
-   Do we need a flag for the rule that when compounding is done the following
    <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> doesn't have a capital after a <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> character, even for Onecap words?
 - New hunspell home page:	<A HREF="http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/">http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/</A>
    - Version 1.1.0 is out now, look into that.
    - Lots of code depends on LANG, that isn't right.  Enable each mechanism
      in the affix file separately.
    - Example with compounding dash is bad, gets in the way of setting
      COMPOUNDMIN and COMPOUNDWORDMAX to a reasonable value.
    - PSEUDOROOT <A HREF="change.html#==">==</A> NEEDAFFIX
    - COMPOUNDROOT -&gt; COMPOUNDED?  For a <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> that already is a compound <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A>
	    Or use COMPOUNDED2, COMPOUNDED3, etc.
-   CIRCUMFIX: when a <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> uses a prefix marked with the CIRCUMFIX flag, then
    the <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> must also have a suffix marked with the CIRCUMFIX flag.  It's a
    bit primitive, since only one flag is used, which doesn't allow matching
    specific prefixes with <A HREF="cmdline.html#suffixes">suffixes</A>.
    Alternative:
	PSFX {flag} {pchop} {padd} {pcond} {schop} {sadd}[/flags] {scond}
    We might not need this at all, you can use the NEEDAFFIX flag and the
    affix which is required.
-   When a suffix has more than one syllable, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> may <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> for
    COMPOUNDWORDMAX.
-   Add flags to <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> extra syllables in a <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A>.  SYLLABLEADD1 SYLLABLEADD2,
    etc.?  Or make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to specify the syllable <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> of a <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A>
    directly, e.g., after another slash: /abc/3
-   MORPHO item in affix file: ignore TAB and morphological field after
    word/flags and affix.
-   Implement multiple flags for compound words and CMP item?
    Await comments from other <A HREF="spell.html#spell">spell</A> checking authors.
 - Also see tklspell:	<A HREF="http://tkltrans.sourceforge.net/">http://tkltrans.sourceforge.net/</A>

Diff mode:
9   When making small changes, e.g. <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A> a character, update the <A HREF="diff.html#diff">diff</A>.
    Possibly without running <A HREF="diff.html#diff">diff</A>.
8   Also show difference with the file when editing started?  Should show what
    can be undone. (Tom Popovich)

<A HREF="fold.html#Folding">Folding</A>:
    (commands still available: zI zJ zK zp zP zq zQ zV zy zY;
    secondary: zB zS zT zZ, <A HREF="spell.html#z=">z=</A>)
8   Vertical <A HREF="fold.html#folds">folds</A>: looks like vertically split <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>, but the cursor moves
    through the vertical separator, separator moves when <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A>.
8   Add &quot;z/&quot; and &quot;z?&quot; for searching in not folded text only.
8   When a closed fold is displayed open because of <A HREF="options.html#'foldminlines'">'foldminlines'</A>, the
    behavior of commands is still like the fold is closed.  How to make the
    user aware of this?
8   Add an option 'foldskip' with values like <A HREF="options.html#'foldopen'">'foldopen'</A> that specifies which
    commands skip over a closed fold.
8   &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#H">H</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#L">L</A>&quot; <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> buffer lines instead of <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> lines. (Servatius Brandt)
8   Add a way to add fold-plugins.  Johannes Zellner has one for VB.
7   When using manual <A HREF="fold.html#folding">folding</A>, the <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> command should also restore <A HREF="fold.html#folds">folds</A>.
-   Allow completely hiding a closed fold.  E.g., by setting <A HREF="options.html#'foldtext'">'foldtext'</A> to an
    empty <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>.  Require showing a character in <A HREF="options.html#'foldcolumn'">'foldcolumn'</A> to avoid the
    missing line goes unnoticed.
    How to implement this?
-   When pressing the down arrow of a scrollbar, a closed fold doesn't scroll
    until after a long time.  How to make <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A> with closed <A HREF="fold.html#folds">folds</A>
    smoother?
-   When creating a session, also store <A HREF="fold.html#folds">folds</A> for <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A> in the buffer <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>,
    using the wininfo in wi_folds.
-   When currently editing the first file in the argument <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> the session
    file can contain:
	args version.c main.c
	edit version.c
    Can editing version.c <A HREF="if_cscop.html#twice">twice</A> be avoided?

    cursor.
-   <A HREF="options.html#'foldmethod'">'foldmethod'</A> &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A>&quot;: &quot;fold=3&quot; argument: set fold level for a region or

-   When editing a file with both <A HREF="mbyte.html#utf-8">utf-8</A> and latin1 text Vim always falls back
    to latin1.  Add a command to convert the latin1 characters to <A HREF="mbyte.html#utf-8">utf-8</A>?
	:unmix utf-8,latin1 filename
    Would only work when <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A> is <A HREF="mbyte.html#utf-8">utf-8</A>.
9   When the tail byte of a double-byte character is illegal (e.g., a CR), the
    display is messed up (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).  Should check for illegal
    double-byte characters and display them differently (display each single
    byte).
9   <A HREF="options.html#'fenc'">'fenc'</A> in <A HREF="options.html#modeline">modeline</A> problem: add option to <A HREF="editing.html#reload">reload</A> the file when <A HREF="options.html#'fenc'">'fenc'</A> is
    set to a different value in a <A HREF="options.html#modeline">modeline</A>?  Option can be default on.  Could
    <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> be done with an <A HREF="autocmd.html#autocommand">autocommand</A>?
8   Add an item in <A HREF="options.html#'fileencodings'">'fileencodings'</A> to check the first lines of a file for
 the encoding. See Python PEP:	<A HREF="http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html">http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html</A>.
    To avoid getting a wrong encoding only accept something Emacs-like:
    &quot;-*- coding: enc-na_me.foo -*-&quot; and &quot;-*- coding= enc-na_me.foo -*-&quot;
    Match with &quot;-\*-\s*coding[:=]\s*\([::word::-_.]\+\)\s*-\*-&quot; and use first
    item.
8   Add an item in <A HREF="options.html#'fileencodings'">'fileencodings'</A> to check the first line of an XML file for
    the encoding.  &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;  Or &quot;charset=UTF-8&quot;?
    For HTML look for &quot;charset=utf-8&quot;.
8   The <A HREF="quickfix.html#quickfix">quickfix</A> file is read without conversion, thus in <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A>.  Add an
    option to specify the encoding of the errorfile and convert <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  Also for
    &quot;<A HREF="quickfix.html#:grep">:grep</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="helphelp.html#:helpgrep">:helpgrep</A>&quot;.
    More generic solution: support a <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A> (e.g., by calling a function).
8   When a file was converted from <A HREF="options.html#'fileencoding'">'fileencoding'</A> to <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A>, a <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> search
    should also <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this on the search <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>. (Andrzej <A HREF="motion.html#M">M</A>. Ostruszka)
8   When filtering changes the encoding <A HREF="options.html#'fileencoding'">'fileencoding'</A> may not work.  E.g.,
    when using xxd and <A HREF="options.html#'fileencoding'">'fileencoding'</A> is &quot;utf-16&quot;.  Add an option to set a
    different fileencoding for <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A> output?
7   When converting a file fails, mention which byte could not be converted,
    so that the user can fix the problem.
8   Add configure option to be able to disable using the iconv library. (Udo
    Schweigert)
9   <A HREF="options.html#'aleph'">'aleph'</A> should be set to 1488 for <A HREF="mbyte.html#Unicode">Unicode</A>. (Zvi Har'El)
8   Should add test for using various commands with <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> characters.
8   <A HREF="options.html#'infercase'">'infercase'</A> doesn't work with <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> characters.
8   <A HREF="eval.html#toupper()">toupper()</A> function doesn't handle byte <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> changes.
7   Searching and composing characters:
    When searching, should order of composing characters be ignored?
    Add a special item to match with a composing character, so that composing
    characters can be manipulated.
8   Should implement <A HREF="options.html#'delcombine'">'delcombine'</A> for command line editing.
8   Detect overlong <A HREF="mbyte.html#UTF-8">UTF-8</A> sequences and handle them like illegal bytes.
8   &quot;:s/x/\u\1/&quot; doesn't work, making <A HREF="change.html#uppercase">uppercase</A> isn't done for <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A>
    characters.
8   <A HREF="mbyte.html#UTF-8">UTF-8</A>: &quot;<A HREF="change.html#r">r</A>&quot; in <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode doesn't take composing characters.
8   <A HREF="mbyte.html#UTF-8">UTF-8</A>: When there is a precomposed character in the font, use <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> instead
    of a character and a composing character.  See xterm for an example.
7   When a character can't be displayed, display its <A HREF="digraph.html#digraph">digraph</A> instead.
    <A HREF="options.html#'display'">'display'</A> option to specify this.
7   Use ideas for nl_langinfo() from Markus Kuhn in enc_default():
    (www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/langinfo.c)
-   <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> and <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>: Allow selecting fonts for <A HREF="options.html#'guifontset'">'guifontset'</A> with the
    fontselector somehow.
-   <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK">GTK</A> and <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>: make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to set the font for the menu to make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    possible to have <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A> different from the current <A HREF="mbyte.html#locale">locale</A>.
-   dbcs_class() only works for <A HREF="mbyte.html#Japanese">Japanese</A> and <A HREF="mbyte.html#Korean">Korean</A>.  Implement this for
    other encodings.  The &quot;euc-jp&quot; and &quot;euc-kr&quot; choices might be wrong.
-   Find some way to automatically select the right <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> font or <A HREF="mbyte.html#fontset">fontset</A>,
    depending on the default value of <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A>.
    Irrelevant in the <A HREF="gui_x11.html#GTK+">GTK+</A> 2 <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> so long <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> <A HREF="mbyte.html#UTF-8">UTF-8</A> is used.
    For Windows, the charset_pairs[] table could be used.  But how <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> we know
    if a font exists?
-   Do keyboard conversion from <A HREF="options.html#'termencoding'">'termencoding'</A> to <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A> with
    convert_input() for <A HREF="os_mac.html#Mac">Mac</A> <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>.
-   Add mnemonics from RFC1345 longer than two characters.
    Support CTRL-K _{mnemonic}_
-   Make <A HREF="options.html#'breakat'">'breakat'</A> accept <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> characters.  Problem: can't use a lookup
    table anymore (breakat_flags[]).
    Simplistic solution: when <A HREF="options.html#'formatoptions'">'formatoptions'</A> contains &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#m">m</A>&quot; also break a line
    at a <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> character &gt;= 0x100.
-   Add the possibility to enter mappings which are used whenever normal text
    could be entered.  E.g., for &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#f">f</A>&quot; command.  But not in <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> mode.  Sort
    of opposite of <A HREF="options.html#'langmap'">'langmap'</A>.  Use &quot;:amap&quot; command?
-   When breaking a line, take properties of <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> characters into
    account.  The &quot;linebreak&quot; program from Bruno Haible can <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>:
	<A HREF="ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/linebreak-0.1.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.ilog.fr/pub/Users/haible/gnu/linebreak-0.1.tar.gz</A>
    But it's very complicated...


Printing:
7   Implement &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#undercurl">undercurl</A>&quot; for <A HREF="print.html#printing">printing</A>.
-   Add &quot;page width&quot; to wrap long lines.
-   <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>: use a font <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> for setting <A HREF="options.html#'printfont'">'printfont'</A>.  Can reuse the code for
    the <A HREF="options.html#'guifont'">'guifont'</A> <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>, put the common code in a separate function.
-   Add the file <A HREF="editing.html#timestamp">timestamp</A> to the page header (with an option). (George
    Reilly)
-   <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>: when <A HREF="options.html#'printfont'">'printfont'</A> is empty use <A HREF="options.html#'guifont'">'guifont'</A>.
-   <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A>: Use some <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> box to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> the obvious settings (paper size, printer
    name, portrait/landscape, etc).
-   PostScript: Only works for text that can be converted to an 8-bit
    character set.  How to support <A HREF="mbyte.html#Unicode">Unicode</A> fully?
-   Allow specifying the paper size, instead of using a standard size.  Same
    units <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> for the margins.
-   Support right-to-left text?
8   Make the foreground color darkening function preserve the hue of the
    color.


<A HREF="autocmd.html#Syntax">Syntax</A> highlighting:
8   Make &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#:syn">:syn</A> off&quot; use <A HREF="options.html#'runtimepath'">'runtimepath'</A> instead of <A HREF="starting.html#$VIMRUNTIME">$VIMRUNTIME</A>. (Gary Johnson)
    Should <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> the same for &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#:syn">:syn</A> on&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#:syn">:syn</A> manual&quot;.
8   Support &quot;containedin&quot; argument for &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#:syn">:syn</A> include&quot;, so that the defined
    cluster can be added to existing <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> items.
8   C <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A>: Don't highlight <A HREF="intro.html#{}">{}</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> <A HREF="message.html#errors">errors</A> inside () when used like this:
    &quot;({ something })&quot;, often used in GCC code.
7   Add a &quot;startgroup&quot; to a region.  Used like &quot;nextgroup&quot; inside the region,
    preferred item at the start of the region. (Charles Campbell)
8   When editing a new file without a name and giving <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> a name (by <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A>
    <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>) and <A HREF="options.html#'filetype'">'filetype'</A> is not set, detect the <A HREF="filetype.html#filetype">filetype</A>.  Avoid doing <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> for
    &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:wq">:wq</A> file&quot;.
7   For &quot;nextgroup&quot; we have skipwhite, skipnl and skipempty.  It would be
    really <A HREF="#nice">nice</A> to be able to skip with a <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>.  Or skip with a <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A>
    group. (Nikolai Weibull, 2007 Feb 27)
8   Make conversion to HTML faster (Write <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> in C or pre-compile the <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A>).
9   There is still a redraw bug somewhere.  Probably because a cached state is
    used in a wrong way.  I can't reproduce it...
7   Be able to change only the background highlighting.  Useful for Diff* and
    Search highlighting.
7   When <A HREF="options.html#'number'">'number'</A> is set highlight the number of the current line.
    Must be enabled with an option, because <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> slows down display updating.
8   Allow the user to add items to the <A HREF="autocmd.html#Syntax">Syntax</A> menu sorted, without having to
    change this for each release.
8   Add a &quot;matchcontains&quot; for regions: items contained in the start or end
    <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>, but not in the body.
8   Add a &quot;keepend-contained&quot; argument: Don't change the end of an item this
    one is contained in.  Like &quot;keepend&quot; but specified on the contained item,
    instead of the containing item.
8   <A HREF="syntax.html#cpp.vim">cpp.vim</A>: In C++ it's allowed to use <A HREF="intro.html#{}">{}</A> inside ().
8   Some <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> files set <A HREF="options.html#'iskeyword'">'iskeyword'</A>, they should use &quot;syn iskeyword&quot;.
    Also need a separate <A HREF="options.html#'iskeyword'">'iskeyword'</A> for the command line, e.g., in a help
    <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:e">:e</A> /asdf/asdf/&quot; <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> works different.
8   Add specific <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> item to match with parens/braces that don't have a
    &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#&#37;">&#37;</A>&quot; match.  <A HREF="syntax.html#:syntax">:syntax</A> nomatch cMatchError (,{,[,),},] [contained]
8   Highlight the text between two matching parens (e.g., with a grey
    background) when on one of the parens or in between them.
    Option for the <A HREF="pi_paren.html#matchparen">matchparen</A> <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A>?
8   When using a cterm, and no ctermfg or ctermbg are defined, use start/stop
    sequences.	Add remark in docs that <A HREF="eval.html#:if">:if</A> <A HREF="options.html#'term'">'term'</A> <A HREF="change.html#==">==</A> &quot;term-name&quot; should be
    used.
8   Add @spell cluster to <A HREF="eval.html#String">String</A> and Comment groups for many languages.  Will
    allow <A HREF="spell.html#spell">spell</A> checking. (Fleiner)
8   When listing <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> items, try to sort the keywords alphabetically.  And
    re-insert the <A HREF="motion.html#[]">[]</A> if possible.
8   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to use color of text for <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> highlight group (like for
    the Cursor).
8   It would be useful to make the highlight group name an <A HREF="eval.html#expression">expression</A>.  Then
    when there is a match, the <A HREF="eval.html#expression">expression</A> would be evaluated to find out what
    highlight group to use.  Could be used to check if the shell used in a
    password file appears in /etc/shells. (Nikolai Weibull)
	syn match =s:checkShell(v:match) contained '<A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>'
8   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to only highlight a sub-expression of a match.  Like
    using &quot;\1&quot; in a &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:s">:s</A>&quot; command.
8   Support for <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A> <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> items:
    <A HREF="syntax.html#:syn">:syn</A> keyword cTodo remove this
    <A HREF="syntax.html#:syn">:syn</A> match cTodo remove &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>&quot;
    <A HREF="syntax.html#:syn">:syn</A> region cString remove start=&quot;this&quot; end=&quot;that&quot;
8   Add possibility to sync on something else, when the syncing in one way
    doesn't find match.  For HTML: When no {script} is found, try looking for
    a '<A HREF="change.html#&lt;">&lt;</A>'.  (Fleiner)
7   <A HREF="insert.html#Replace">Replace</A> the synchronizing method with a state machine specification?
    Should be able to start at any line in the file, search forwards or
    backwards, and use the result of matching a <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>.
7   Use parsing like awk, so that e.g., a ( without a matching ) can be
    detected.
8   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to use &quot;inverted&quot; highlighting, invert the original
    character.  For <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode.  (xterm-selection already does this).
8   Highlight non-printable characters with &quot;SpecialChar&quot;, linked to
    &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#Special">Special</A>&quot;.  Display them with the <A HREF="digraph.html#digraph">digraph</A> characters, if possible.
8   Highlight the clipboard-selection with a highlight group.
8   Be able to reset highlighting to its original (default) values.
7   Be able to write current highlighting to a file <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> commands, similar to
    &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#:mkvimrc">:mkvimrc</A>&quot;.
8   Improve <A HREF="syntax.html#c.vim">c.vim</A>:
    - Add check for unterminated strings, with a variable to switch <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> on:
      &quot;c_strict_ansi&quot;.
    - Detect unbalanced &quot;#endif&quot;.  Requires looking back a long way...
8   Add an option to restrict the updating of <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> highlighting to the
    current line while in <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode.
8   When guessing value of <A HREF="options.html#'background'">'background'</A>, the <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> file has already been
    loaded (from the <A HREF="gui.html#.gvimrc">.gvimrc</A>).	After <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> <A HREF="options.html#'background'">'background'</A>, load <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> again?
8   Add &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#:syn">:syn</A> resync&quot; command, to re-parse the whole file until the current
    display position.
8   Should support &quot;me&quot; offset for a region start <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>.  To be used to
    allow searching for the end <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> inside the match of the end <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>.
    Example: syn region pikeXX start=&quot;([^{]&quot; end=&quot;)&quot; should work on &quot;()&quot;.
8   When using a <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> for &quot;contains=&quot;, should delay matching with <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> until
    redrawing happens.  Set a flag when a group is added, check this flag when
    highlighting starts.
7   It's possible for an item to be transparent, so that the colors of an item
    lower on the stack is used.  Also <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this with highlighting, so that the
    user can set transparent highlighting?  E.g. a number in a C comment would
    get the color of a comment, a number in an assignment <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A>. (Nikolai
    Weibull)
7   Add &quot;semitrans&quot;: Add highlighting.  E.g., make the text <A HREF="syntax.html#bold">bold</A>, but keep the
    colors.  And add colors, so that Green+Red becomes Yellow.
    E.g. for this html:
	&lt;B&gt; <A HREF="syntax.html#bold">bold</A> text &lt;I&gt; italic+bold text &lt;/B&gt; <A HREF="syntax.html#italic">italic</A> text &lt;/I&gt;
7   <A HREF="tagsrch.html#CTRL-]">CTRL-]</A> checks the highlight group for finding out what the <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> is.
7   Add an explanation how a <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of words can be used to highlight misspelled
    words.
8   Add more command line completion for <A HREF="syntax.html#:syntax">:syntax</A>.
8   Add more command line completion for <A HREF="syntax.html#:highlight">:highlight</A>.
7   Should find a better way to parse the <A HREF="syntax.html#:syntax">:syntax</A> and <A HREF="syntax.html#:highlight">:highlight</A> commands.
    Use tables or lists that can be shared by parsing for execution and
    completion?
8   Add ColorSchemePost <A HREF="autocmd.html#autocommand">autocommand</A> event, so that scripts can set up their
    highlighting. (Salman Halim)
7   Add a few sets of colors (e.g. Borland Turbo C one).  With a menu to
    select one of the sets.
8   Add offsets to sub-matches: &quot;\(a*\) *&quot;he=e1-1
    '<A HREF="motion.html#e">e</A>' is end of match 'e1' is end of sub-match 1, 's2' is start of submatch
    2, etc.
8   In <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode, when there are typeahead characters, postpone the
    highlighting (for &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; command).
8   Syncing on comments isn't 100&#37; correct when / / lines mix with / &#42; and &#42; <A HREF="pattern.html#/.">/.</A>
    For example: What about a line that starts with / / and contains &#42; /?
8   Ignore / &#42; and  &#42; / inside strings, when syncing.
7   Build a few more <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> files from the file &quot;/usr/share/misc/vgrindefs&quot;:
    ISP, LDL, Icon, ratfor.  And check &quot;nedit/source/highlight.c&quot;.
6   Add possibility to have background color continue until the right edge of
    the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.  Useful for comment blocks and function headings. (Rogall)
-   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to add &quot;contains&quot; items for all items in a group.	Useful
    when extending an already existing <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> file.
-   Add <A HREF="repeat.html#line-continuation">line-continuation</A> <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> for non-syncing items too?
-   Add possibility to highlight the whole line, including the right margin
    (for comment blocks).
-   Add 'hlmatch' option: <A HREF="eval.html#List">List</A> of flags:
    '<A HREF="change.html#c">c</A>': highlight match for character under the cursor.
    '<A HREF="motion.html#b">b</A>': highlight the previous (, and its match.
    '<A HREF="insert.html#a">a</A>': highlight all text from the previous ( until its match.
	 Also for <A HREF="intro.html#{}">{}</A>, <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;&gt;">&lt;&gt;</A>, etc.?
    '<A HREF="motion.html#e">e</A>': highlight all braces without a match (slow?)
    OR: add an argument &quot;cursor&quot; to the <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> command, which means that the
    region/match/keyword is only highlighted when the cursor is on <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
    (Campbell)
    Or <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> like <A HREF="intro.html#Elvis">Elvis</A>: define text <A HREF="index.html#objects">objects</A> and how to highlight them around
    the cursor. (Iain Truskett)
7   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to use all words in the <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A> files <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> Keyword.
    Can also be done with a <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> (but it's slow).
7   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to call a &quot;<A HREF="cmdline.html#:">:</A>&quot; command when a match is found.  Should
    allow for adding keywords from the text (e.g. <A HREF="eval.html#variables">variables</A> that are set).
    And allows for sections with different highlighting.
7   Add highlight group for commandline: &quot;Commandline&quot;.  Make sure <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    highlights the command line while typing a command, and any output from
    <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A>.  And external commands?
8   Make a version that works like <A HREF="various.html#less">less</A>, but with highlighting: read stdin for
    text, exit at end of file, don't allow editing, etc.  moreim?  lessim?
7   SpecialKey highlighting overrules <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> highlighting.  Can't give an
    unprintable char another color.  Would be useful for ^M at end of line.


Vim <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> language:
8   Make the filename and line number available to <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A>, so that
    they can give useful debugging info.  The whole call stack would be ideal.
    At least use this for error <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A>.
7   Execute a function with standard option values.  No need to save and
    restore option values.  Especially useful for new <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>.  Problem: how
    to avoid a performance penalty (esp. for <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A> options)?
8   Add referring to key <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> with &quot;&amp;t_xx&quot;.  Both for &quot;echo &amp;t_xx&quot; and
    &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#:let">:let</A> &amp;t_xx =&quot;.  Useful for making portable mappings.
-   Add &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#:let">:let</A> var ?= value&quot;, conditional assignment.  Patch by Dave Eggum,
    2006 Dec 11.
-   range for &quot;:exec&quot;, pass <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> on to the executed command.  (Webb)
8   &quot;:{range}source&quot;: source the lines from the current file.
	You can already <A HREF="change.html#yank">yank</A> lines and use :@&quot; to execute them.
	Most of do_source() would not be used, need a new function.
	It's <A HREF="starting.html#easy">easy</A> when not doing breakpoints or <A HREF="repeat.html#profiling">profiling</A>.
    Requires <A HREF="uganda.html#copying">copying</A> the lines into a <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> and then creating a function to
    execute lines from the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>.  Similar to getnextac().
7   &quot;:include&quot; command: just like &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#:source">:source</A>&quot; but doesn't start a new scriptID?
    Will be tricky for the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> names.
8   Have a look at VSEL.  Would <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> be useful to include? (Bigham)
8   Have a prefix for a function to make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> unique.  When using <A HREF="repeat.html#packages">packages</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    can be the <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> name.
    Perhaps also have a way to remove everything that the package added?
    including autocommands.
7   Pre-parse or compile Vim scripts into a bytecode.
    1. Put the bytecode with the original <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A>, with an &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#:if">:if</A>
       has('bytecode')&quot; around <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>, so that it's only used with a Vim that
       supports <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  Update the code with a command, can be used in an
       <A HREF="autocmd.html#autocommand">autocommand</A>.
    2. Use a &quot;.vic&quot; file (like <A HREF="if_pyth.html#Python">Python</A> use .pyc).  Create <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> when <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> a
       .vim file.  Problem: <A HREF="intro.html#distribution">distribution</A>.
    3. Use a cache directory for each user.  How to recognize which cached
       file belongs to a sourced <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A>?
7   Add argument to <A HREF="eval.html#winwidth()">winwidth()</A> to subtract the space taken by <A HREF="options.html#'foldcolumn'">'foldcolumn'</A>,
    <A HREF="sign.html#signs">signs</A> and/or <A HREF="options.html#'number'">'number'</A>.
6   Add ++ and <A HREF="starting.html#--">--</A> operators?  They only work on <A HREF="eval.html#variables">variables</A> (lvals), how to
    implement this?
8   Add <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A>:
	has(&quot;:command&quot;)		Check if &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:command">:command</A>&quot; works.  compare function
				with &quot;ex_ni&quot;.  E.g. for &quot;<A HREF="gui_w32.html#:simalt">:simalt</A>&quot;.
	<A HREF="eval.html#escape()">escape()</A>		Add argument to specify what to <A HREF="intro.html#escape">escape</A> with.
	modestack()		Instead of just the current mode return the
				stack of <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> / <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-O">CTRL-O</A> / <A HREF="various.html#:normal">:normal</A> things.
	realname()		Get user name (first, last, full)
				user_fullname() patch by Nikolai Weibull, Nov
				3 2002
				Only add this when also implemented for
				non-Unix systems, otherwise a shell cmd could
				be used.
				get_user_name() gets login name.
	menuprop({name}, {idx}, {what})
				Get menu property of menu {name} item {idx}.
				menuprop(&quot;&quot;, 1, &quot;name&quot;) returns &quot;File&quot;.
				menuprop(&quot;File&quot;, 1, &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#n">n</A>&quot;) returns &quot;nmenu
				File.Open...&quot; argument.
				Patch by Ilya Sher, 2004 Apr 22
				Return a <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of <A HREF="gui.html#menus">menus</A> and/or a dictionary
				with properties instead.
	mapname({idx}, mode)	return the name of the idx'th <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>.
				Patch by Ilya Sher, 2004 Mar 4.
				Return a <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> instead.
	char2hex()		convert char <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A> to hex <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>.
	crypt()			encrypt <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>
	decrypt()		decrypt <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>
	base64enc()		base 64 encoding
	base64dec()		base 64 decoding
	attributes()		return file protection flags &quot;drwxrwxrwx&quot;
	filecopy(from, to)	Copy a file
	shorten(fname)		shorten a file name, like home_replace()
	perl(cmd)		call <A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> and return <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>
	inputrl()		like <A HREF="eval.html#input()">input()</A> but right-to-left
	typed()			return the characters typed and consumed (to
				find out what happened)
	virtualmode()		add argument to obtain whether &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#$">$</A>&quot; was used in
				<A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> block mode.
	getacp()		<A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>: get codepage (Glenn Maynard)
	deletebufline()		delete line in any buffer
	appendbufline()		append line in any buffer
	<A HREF="eval.html#libcall()">libcall()</A>		Allow more than one argument.
	libcallext()		Like <A HREF="eval.html#libcall()">libcall()</A>, but using a callback function
				to allow the library to execute a command or
				evaluate an <A HREF="eval.html#expression">expression</A>.
7   Make bufname(&quot;'0&quot;) return the buffer name from <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> <A HREF="motion.html#'0">'0</A>.  How to get the
    column and line number?  col(&quot;'0&quot;) currently returns zero.
8   <A HREF="eval.html#argc()">argc()</A> returns 0 when using &quot;vim <A HREF="starting.html#-t">-t</A> tag&quot;.  How to detect that no file was
    specified in any way?  To be able to jump to the last edited file.
8   Pass the command line arguments to Vim scripts in some way.  As v:args
    <A HREF="eval.html#List">List</A>?  Or extra parameter to <A HREF="eval.html#argv()">argv()</A>?
8   Add command arguments with three dashes, passed on to Vim scripts.
9   Add optional arguments to user <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A>:
	:func myFunc(arg1, arg2, arg3 = &quot;blah&quot;, arg4 = 17)
6   <A HREF="autocmd.html#User">User</A> <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A>: Functions local to buffer &quot;b:func()&quot;?
8   For Strings add &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#:let">:let</A> var[{expr}] = {expr}&quot;.  When past the end of &quot;var&quot;
    just ignore.
8   The &quot;<A HREF="change.html#=">=</A> <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> should be writable, if followed by the name of a variable,
    option or environment variable.
8   &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#:let">:let</A> &amp;option&quot; should <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> the value of the option.
8   &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#:let">:let</A> Func().foo = value&quot; should work, also when &quot;foo&quot; doesn't exist.
    Also: &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#:let">:let</A> Func()[foo] = value&quot; should work.  Same for a <A HREF="eval.html#List">List</A>.
7   Add synIDlist(), making the whole <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> items on the <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> stack
    available <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a <A HREF="eval.html#List">List</A>.
8   Add autocommand-event for when a variable is changed:
	<A HREF="autocmd.html#:au">:au</A> VarChanged {varname} {commands}
8   Add &quot;has(&quot;gui_capable&quot;)&quot;, to check if the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> can be started.
8   Add possibility to use <A HREF="eval.html#variables">variables</A> like <A HREF="change.html#registers">registers</A>: <A HREF="motion.html#characterwise">characterwise</A> (default),
    <A HREF="motion.html#linewise">linewise</A> (when ending in '\n'), blockwise (when ending in '\001').	reg0,
    rega, reg&#37;, etc.  Add <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A> linewise({expr}), blockwise({expr}) and
    charwise({expr}).
7   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> any command on a <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A> variable (make a buffer
    with one line, containing the <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>).  Maybe add an (invisible) scratch
    buffer for this?
	result = scratch(string, command)
	result = apply(string, command)
	result = execute(string, command)
    &quot;command&quot; would use <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;&gt;">&lt;&gt;</A> <A HREF="intro.html#notation">notation</A>.
    Does scratch buffer have a number?  Or re-use same number?
7   Add function to generate unique number (date in milliseconds).


Robustness:
6   Add file locking.  Lock a file when starting to edit <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> with flock() or
    fcntl().  This patch has advisory file locking while reading/writing
    the file for Vim 5.4: ~/vim/patches/kahn_file_locking .
    The patch is incomplete (needs support for more systems, autoconf).
    Andy doesn't have time to work on <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
    Disadvantage: Need to find ways to gracefully handle failure to obtain a
    lock.  When to release a lock: When buffer is unloaded?


Performance:
7   For <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A> <A HREF="eval.html#variables">variables</A> up to 3 bytes don't allocate memory, use v_list
    itself <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a character array.  Use VAR_SSTRING (short <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>).
7   Add 'lazysize' option: Above this size Vim doesn't load everything before
    starting to edit a file.  Things like <A HREF="options.html#'fileencodings'">'fileencodings'</A> only work up to this
    size, modelines only work at the top.  Useful for large log files where
    you only want to look at the first few pages.  Use zero to disable <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
8   move_lines() copies every line into allocated memory, making reloading a
    buffer a lot slower than re-editing the file.  Can the memline be locked
    so that we don't need to make a copy?  Or avoid invoking ml_updatechunk(),
    that is taking a lot of time.  (Ralf Wildenhues, 2008 Jul 7)
    With a patch, but does <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> work?
8   Turn b_syn_ic and b_syn_containedin into b_syn_flags.
9   Loading <A HREF="gui.html#menu.vim">menu.vim</A> still takes quite a bit of time.  How to make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> faster?
8   in_id_list() takes much time for <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> highlighting.  Cache the result?
7   setpcmark() shifts the <A HREF="motion.html#jumplist">jumplist</A>, this takes quite a bit of time when
    jumping around.  Instead use an index for the start?
8   When displaying a space with only foreground highlighting, it's the same
    <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a space without attributes.  Avoid displaying spaces for the &quot;<A HREF="change.html#~">~</A>&quot; lines
    when starting up in a color <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A>.
8   Avoid alloc() for scratch buffer use, esp. in syntax.c.  It's very slow on
    Win16.
8   Profiling shows that in_id_list() is used very often for C code.  Can this
    function be improved?
8   For an existing file, the page size of the swap file is always the
    default, instead of using the block size of the device, because the swap
    file is created only after setting the block size in mf_open().  How can
    this be improved?
8   Set default for <A HREF="options.html#'ttyscroll'">'ttyscroll'</A> to half a screen height?  Should speed up
    <A HREF="os_msdos.html#MS-DOS">MS-DOS</A> version. (Negri)
7   C <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> highlighting gets a lot slower after &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="options.html#'foldmethod'">foldmethod</A>=syntax&quot;.
    (Charles Campbell)  Inserting a &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#{">{</A>&quot; is very slow. (dman)
7   HTML <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> highlighting is slow for long lines.  Try displaying
	<A HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/22908.html">http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/22908.html</A>. Andre Pang
7   Check how performance of loading the wordlist can be improved (adding a
    lot of <A HREF="map.html#abbreviations">abbreviations</A>).
7   Compile <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> commands to byte codes.  Store byte codes in a vim <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> file
    at the end, after &quot;compiled:.  Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> look like a single comment line
    for old Vim versions.  <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> first line &quot;Vim <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> compiled &lt;timestamp&gt;.
    Only used compiled code when <A HREF="editing.html#timestamp">timestamp</A> matches the file stat.
    Add command to compile a vim <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> and add <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> to the file in-place.
    Split <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> command executing into a parsing and executing phase.
    Use compiled code for <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A>, while loops, etc.
8   When defining autocommands (e.g., from $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim), need to
    compare each <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> with all existing patterns.  Use a hash code to avoid
    using strcmp() too often?
7   Include turbo_loader patches, speeding up reading a file?
    Speed up reading a file by reading <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> into a fixed-size buffer, creating
    the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of indexes in another buffer, and then <A HREF="uganda.html#copying">copying</A> the result into a
    memfile block with two copies.  Then read the next block into another
    fixed-size buffer, create the second <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of indexes and copy text from
    the two blocks to the memfile block.
7   do_cmdline(): Avoid that the command line is copied to allocated memory
    and freed again later all the time.  For while loops, and for when called
    with an argument that can be messed with.
    Generic solution: Make a struct that contains a pointer and a flag that
    indicates if the pointer should be freed when replaced.
7   Check that the file size is not more than &quot;sizeof(long)&quot;.
-   Further improve finding mappings in maphash[] in vgetorpeek()
8   <A HREF="autocmd.html#Syntax">Syntax</A> highlighting is slow when <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A> lines.  Try in
    $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim.
-   &quot;out of memory&quot; after <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A> (1,$d) and <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> (:&#37;s/^/&gt; /) a lot of
    lines (27000) a few times.  Memory fragmentation?
-   Have a look at how pdksh does memory allocation (alloc.c). (Dalecki)
-   Do <A HREF="repeat.html#profiling">profiling</A> on:
    - :g/pat/normal cmd
    - 1000ii&lt;Esc&gt;
    - <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A> 10Mbyte worth of lines (netscape binary)
    - &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#[i">[i</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#[d">[d</A>&quot; (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
    - &quot;:g/^/m0&quot; on a 450Kbyte file.  And the &quot;<A HREF="undo.html#u">u</A>&quot;.
    - highlighting &quot;~/vim/test/longline.tex&quot;, &quot;~/vim/test/scwoop.tcl&quot; and
      &quot;~/vim/test/lockup.pl&quot;.
    - loading a <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> file to highlight all words not from a dictionary.
    - editing a Vim <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> with <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> highlighting on (loading <A HREF="syntax.html#vim.vim">vim.vim</A>).
7   Screen updating can be further improved by only redrawing lines that were
    changed (and lines after them, when <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> highlighting was used, and <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    changed).
    - On each change, remember start and end of the change.
    - When inserting/deleting lines, remember begin, end, and line <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A>.
-   Use macros/duarte/capicua for <A HREF="repeat.html#profiling">profiling</A>.  <A HREF="intro.html#Nvi">Nvi</A> 1.71 is the fastest!
-   When using a file with one long line (1Mbyte), then <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> &quot;$hhhh&quot;, is still
    very slow.  Avoid calling getvcol() for each &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#h">h</A>&quot;?
-   Executing a <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A>, e.g. &quot;10000@@&quot; is slow, because ins_typebuf has to
    move the previous commands forward each time.  Pass <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> from
    normal_cmd() down to do_execreg().
-   Repeating insert &quot;1000i-&lt;Esc&gt;&quot; displays --INSERT-- all the time, because of
    the <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Esc&gt;">&lt;Esc&gt;</A> at the end.  Make this work faster (disable redrawing).
-   Avoid calls to plines() for cursor line, use w_cline_height.
-   After &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="options.html#'nowrap'">nowrap</A>&quot; remove superfluous redraw with wrong hor. offset if
    cursor is right of the screen.
8   Make <A HREF="pattern.html#CTRL-C">CTRL-C</A> on <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A> generate a signal, avoid using select() to check for a
    <A HREF="pattern.html#CTRL-C">CTRL-C</A> (it's slow).


Code size:
8   <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>: When NO_CONSOLE is defined, more code can be excluded.
-   Put <A HREF="eval.html#getline()">getline()</A> and cookie in a struct, so only one argument has to be
    passed to do_cmdline() and other <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A>.
8   Make a GUI-only version for <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A>?
8   In buf_write _() isn't needed when setting errmsg, <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> once when using
    <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
7   When compiling with a GUI-only version, the code for cterm colors can be
    left out.
8   When compiled with a GUI-only version, the <A HREF="term.html#termcap">termcap</A> entries for terminals
    can be removed.
8   Can the check for libelf in configure.ac be removed?


Messages:
8   When using &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:q">:q</A>&quot; in a changed file, the error says to &quot;add !&quot;.  Add the
    command so that beginners understand <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>: &quot;use :q!&quot;.
8   For <A HREF="options.html#'verbose'">'verbose'</A> level 12 prints commands from source'ed files.  How to skip
    lines that aren't executed?  Perhaps move the echoing to do_cmdline()?
8   Use <A HREF="options.html#'report'">'report'</A> for &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:bdel">:bdel</A>&quot;?  (Krishna)  To avoid these <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> when using a
    <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A>.
-   Delete message after new command has been entered and have waited for key.
    Perhaps after ten seconds?
-   Make message <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A> available in &quot;msg&quot; <A HREF="eval.html#variables">variables</A>: msg1, msg2, .. msg9.
8   When reading from stdin allow suppressing the &quot;reading from stdin&quot;
    message.
9   Check handling of overwriting of <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> and delays:
    Very wrong: <A HREF="message.html#errors">errors</A> while redrawing cause endless loop.
    When switching to another file and screen scrolls because of the long
    message and return must be typed, don't scroll the screen back before
    redrawing.
8   When address range is wrong you only get &quot;Invalid range&quot;.  Be a bit more
    specific: Negative, beyond last line, reverse range?  Include the text.
8   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to ignore <A HREF="message.html#errors">errors</A> for a moment ('errorignore'?).  Another
    option to switch off giving error <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> ('errorquiet'?).  Also an option
    not to give any <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> ('quiet')?  Or &quot;:quiet on&quot;, &quot;:quiet off&quot;.
    Careful: For a severe error (out of memory), and when the user starts
    typing, error <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> must be switched back on.
    Also a flag to ignore error <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> for shell commands (for mappings).
-   Option to set time for emsg() sleep.  Interrupt sleep when key is typed?
    Sleep before second message?
8   In <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> silent mode or when reading commands from a file, what exactly is
    not printed and what is?  Check &quot;<A HREF="various.html#:print">:print</A>&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> all&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:args">:args</A>&quot;, &quot;:vers&quot;,
    etc.  At least there should be no prompt. (Smulders)  And don't clear the
    screen when reading commands from stdin. (Kendall)
    --&gt; Make a difference between informative <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A>, prompts, etc. and
	error <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A>, <A HREF="print.html#printing">printing</A> text, etc.
8   Window should be redrawn when resizing at the <A HREF="message.html#hit-enter">hit-enter</A> prompt.
    Also at the &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tselect">:tselect</A>&quot; prompt.  Find a generic solution for redrawing when
    a prompt is present (with a callback function?).


Screen updating:
7   Add a <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A> to the <A HREF="options.html#'display'">'display'</A> option to make <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-E">CTRL-E</A> and <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-Y">CTRL-Y</A> scroll one
    screen line, also if this means the first line doesn't start with the
    first character (like what happens with a single line that doesn't fit).
-   screen_line():
    - insert/delete character stuff.
    - improve delete rest of line (spaces at end of line).
-   When moving or resizing <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, try to avoid a complete redraw (esp. when
    dragging the status line with the mouse).
-   When <A HREF="options.html#'lazyredraw'">'lazyredraw'</A> set, don't echo <A HREF="editing.html#:ex">:ex</A> commands?  Need a flag to redraw when
    waiting for a character.
8   Add a &quot;:refresh [winnr]&quot; command, to force updating a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.  Useful from
    an event handler where &quot;<A HREF="various.html#:normal">:normal</A>&quot; can't be used.  Also useful when
    <A HREF="options.html#'lazyredraw'">'lazyredraw'</A> is set in a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>.

Scrolling:
8   Add &quot;zy&quot; command: scroll horizontally to put the cursor in the middle.
6   Add option to set the overlap for <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-F">CTRL-F</A> and <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-B">CTRL-B</A>. (Garhi)
-   extend <A HREF="options.html#'scrollbind'">'scrollbind'</A> option: <A HREF="options.html#'scrollopt'">'scrollopt'</A> words &quot;search&quot;, &quot;relative&quot;, etc..
    Also 'e'xecute some commands (search, vertical movements) in all bound
    <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>.
7   Add <A HREF="options.html#'scrollbind'">'scrollbind'</A> feature to make the offset of one <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> with the next
    one equal to the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> height.  When editing one file in both <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    looks like each <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> displays a page of the buffer.
-   Allow <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A> by dragging with the mouse (grab a character and move <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    up/down).  Like the &quot;hand&quot; in Acrobat reader.  Use Alt-LeftMouse for this?
    (Goldfarb)
-   Add command to execute some commands (search, vertical movements) in all
    bound <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>.
-   Add 'search' option to <A HREF="options.html#'scrollopt'">'scrollopt'</A> to allow <A HREF="options.html#'scrollbind'">'scrollbind'</A> <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> to
    be bound by <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> searches
-   Add &quot;z&gt;&quot; and &quot;z&lt;&quot;: scroll sideways one screenful. (Campbell)
-   Add option to set the number of lines when not to scroll, instead of the
    fixed number used now (for terminals that scroll slow with a large number
    of lines but not with a single line).


Autoconf:
8   Should use acconfig.h to define prototypes that are used by autoheader.
8   Some compilers don't give an error for &quot;-OPT:Olimit&quot; but a warning. (Webb)
    Add a check for the warning, so that &quot;Olimit&quot; can be added automatically?
-   Autoconf: Use @datadir@ for the system independent files.  Make sure the
    system dependent and system independent files are separated. (Leitner).
-   Add autoconf check for waitpid()/wait4().
-   Remove fcntl() from autoconf, all systems have <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>?
-   Set default for <A HREF="options.html#'dictionary'">'dictionary'</A>, add search for dictionary to autoconf.


<A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> interface:
8   Rename typemap file to something else?
7   Make <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A> accessed <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> <A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> arrays. (Clark)
7   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to compile with non-ANSI C?
6   Tcl/Tk has the &quot;load&quot; command: load a shared library (.so or .dll).


Shared libraries:
6   Add support for loading shared libraries, and calling <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A> in <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
	:libload internal-name libname
	:libunload internal-name
	:liblist
	:libcall internal-name function(arg1, arg2, <A HREF="eval.html#...">...</A>)
	:libcall function(arg1, arg2, <A HREF="eval.html#...">...</A>)
    <A HREF="eval.html#libcall()">libcall()</A> can have only one integer or <A HREF="eval.html#String">String</A> argument at the moment.
6   Have a look on how <A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> handles loading dynamic libraries.


Tags:
9   With &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="options.html#'tags'">tags</A>=./tags,../tags&quot; and a <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> appears in both <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A> files <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is
    added <A HREF="if_cscop.html#twice">twice</A>.  Requires figuring out the actual file name for each found
    match.  Remove tag_fname from the match and combine <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> with the fname in
    the match (without expanding or other things that take time).  When
    <A HREF="options.html#'tagrelative'">'tagrelative'</A> is off tag_fname isn't needed at all.
8   For <A HREF="options.html#'tags'">'tags'</A> <A HREF="editing.html#wildcard">wildcard</A> in the file name is not supported, only in the path.
    This is due to <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> using |<A HREF="editing.html#file-searching">file-searching</A>|. Suboptimal solution would be to
    make the filename or the whole option use |<A HREF="editing.html#wildcards">wildcards</A>| globing, better
    would be to <A HREF="diff.html#merge">merge</A> the 2 kinds of globing. originally (Erik Falor, 2008
    April 18), updated (Ian Kelling, 2008 July 4)
7   Can <A HREF="tagsrch.html#CTRL-]">CTRL-]</A> (jump to <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>) include a following &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; and &quot;-&gt;&quot; to restrict the
    number of possible matches? Check <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A> file for an item that has members.
    (Flemming Madsen)
8   Scope arguments for &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tag">:tag</A>&quot;, e.g.: &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tag">:tag</A> class:cPage open&quot;, like <A HREF="intro.html#Elvis">Elvis</A>.
8   When output of &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tselect">:tselect</A>&quot; is long, getting the <A HREF="message.html#more-prompt">more-prompt</A>, should be able
    to type the <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> number directly.
7   Add the possibility to use the &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#-t">-t</A> {tag}&quot; argument multiple times.  Open a
    <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> for each <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>.
7   Make output of &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tselect">:tselect</A>&quot; a bit nicer.  Use highlighting?
7   Highlight the &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> 1 of &gt;2&quot; message.  New highlight group, or same <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> &quot;hit
    bottom&quot; search message.
7   When using &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tag">:tag</A>&quot; at the top of the <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> stack, should add another entry,
    so <A HREF="tagsrch.html#CTRL-T">CTRL-T</A> can bring you back to where you are now AND to where you were
    before the previous &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tag">:tag</A>&quot; command. (Webb)
-   When doing &quot;[^I&quot; or &quot;[^D&quot; add position to <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> stack.
-   Add command to put current position to <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> stack: &quot;:tpush&quot;.
-   Add <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A> to save and restore the <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> stack?  Or a command to switch
    to another <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> stack?  So that you can <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> something else and come back to
    what you were working on.
7   When using <A HREF="tagsrch.html#CTRL-]">CTRL-]</A> on someClass::someMethod, separate class from method and
    use &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:ta">:ta</A> class:someClass someMethod&quot;.
    Include C++ <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A> changes (Bertin).	Change &quot;class::func&quot; <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> into &quot;func&quot;
    with &quot;class=class&quot;?  Docs in oldmail/bertin/in.xxx.
7   Add &quot;:tagargs&quot;, to set values for fields:
	:tagargs class:someclass file:version.c
	:tagargs clear
    These are then the default values (changes the order of priority in <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>
    matching).
7   Support for &quot;gtags&quot; and &quot;global&quot;?  With &quot;:rtag&quot; command?
    There is an example for how to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this in <A HREF="intro.html#Nvi">Nvi</A>.
    Or <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> like <A HREF="intro.html#Elvis">Elvis</A>: 'tagprg' and 'tagprgonce' <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>. (Yamaguchi)
    The <A HREF="intro.html#Elvis">Elvis</A> method is far more flexible, <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> that way.
7   Support &quot;col:99&quot; extra field, to position the cursor in that column.  With
    a flag in <A HREF="options.html#'cpoptions'">'cpoptions'</A> to switch <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> off again.
7   Better support for jumping to where a function or variable is used.  Use
    the id-utils, with a connection to &quot;gid&quot; (Emacs can <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> too).  Add
    &quot;:idselect&quot;, which uses an &quot;ID&quot; database (made by &quot;mkid&quot;) like &quot;tselect&quot;.


<A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>:
8   Make debug mode work while starting up (vim <A HREF="starting.html#-D">-D</A>).  Open console <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> for
    the message and input?
7   GvimExt: when there are several existing Vims, move the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> to a submenu.
    (Mike McCollister)
8   When using &quot;Edit with Vim&quot; for one file <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> changes directory, when several
    files are selected and using &quot;Edit with single Vim&quot; the directory isn't
    changed.  At least change directory when the path is the same for all
    files.  Perhaps just use the path of the first file or use the longest
    common part of the path.
8   Add font argument to set the lfCharSet. (Bobcik)
8   Somehow automatically detect the system language and set $LANG, so that
    gettext and <A HREF="gui.html#menus">menus</A> work.
8   Could keep console open to run multiple commands, to avoid the need to hit
    return in every console.
    Also: Look at how Emacs does run external commands:
	<A HREF="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html">http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html</A>.
8   Need a separate PopUp menu for modeless selection.  Need two new commands:
    Copy selection to <A HREF="gui.html#clipboard">clipboard</A>, Paste selection (as typed text).
8   Support copy/paste for other file formats.  At least HTML, perhaps RTF.
    Add &quot;copy special&quot; and &quot;paste special&quot; commands?
7   Use different default colors, to match the current Windows color scheme.
    Sys_WindowText, Sys_Window, etc. (Lionel Schaffhauser)
7   Use &lt;C-Tab&gt; to cycle through open <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> (e.g., the find <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>).
7   <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Esc&gt;">&lt;Esc&gt;</A> should close a <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>.
7   Keep the console for external commands open.  Don't wait for a key to be
    hit.  Re-open <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> when the user has closed <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> anyway.  Or use a prepended
    command: &quot;:nowait {cmd}&quot;, or &quot;:quiet&quot;, which executes {cmd} without any
    prompts.
7   Should be able to set an option so that when you double click a file that
    is associated with Vim, you can either get a new instance of Vim, or have
    the file added into an already running Vim.
7   The &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#-P">-P</A>&quot; argument only works for the current codepage.  Use wide
    <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A> to find the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> title.


<A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>:
8   Make <A HREF="eval.html#inputdialog()">inputdialog()</A> work for Photon, <A HREF="os_amiga.html#Amiga">Amiga</A>.
-   &lt;C--&gt; cannot be mapped.  Should be possible to recognize this <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a
    normal &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#-">-</A>&quot; with the Ctrl modifier.
7   Implement &quot;<A HREF="gui.html#:popup">:popup</A>&quot; for other systems than Windows.
8   Implement &quot;<A HREF="gui_w32.html#:tearoff">:tearoff</A>&quot; for other systems than <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>.
6   Implement &quot;:untearoff&quot;: hide a torn-off menu.
8   When using the scrollbar to scroll, don't move the cursor position.  When
    moving the cursor: scroll to the cursor position.
9   Make <A HREF="os_dos.html#&lt;S-Insert&gt;">&lt;S-Insert&gt;</A> paste from the <A HREF="gui.html#clipboard">clipboard</A> by default. (Kunze)
7   Menu local to a buffer, like mappings.  Or local to a <A HREF="filetype.html#filetype">filetype</A>?
8   In Buffers menu, add a choice whether selecting a buffer opens <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> in the
    current <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, splits the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> or uses &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:hide">:hide</A>&quot;.
8   Dragging the mouse pointer outside of a Vim Window should make the text
    scroll.  Return a value from gui_send_mouse_event() to the machine
    specific code to indicate the time in which the event should be repeated.
8   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to ignore a mouse click when it's used to give Vim (gvim)
    <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> focus.  Also when a mouse click is used to bring a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> to front.
8   Make the split into system independent code and system specific code more
    explicit.  There are too many #ifdefs in gui.c.
    If possible, separate the Vim code completely from the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> code, to allow
    running them in separate processes.
7   <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A>: Support cursorColor resource and &quot;-cr&quot; argument.
8   <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A> (and others): CTRL-; is not different from '<A HREF="motion.html#;">;</A>'.  Set the modifier mask
    to include CTRL for keys where CTRL produces the same ASCII code.
7   Add some code to handle proportional fonts on more systems?  Need to draw
    each character separately (like xterm).  Also for when a double-width font
    is not exactly double-width. (Maeda)
8   Should take font from xterm where <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> was started (if no other default).
8   Selecting font names in <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A> is difficult, make a <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> or something to
    select one.
8   <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> highlighting should keep the same font (bold, <A HREF="syntax.html#italic">italic</A>, etc.).
8   Add flag to <A HREF="options.html#'guioptions'">'guioptions'</A> to not put anything in the <A HREF="gui.html#clipboard">clipboard</A> at all?
8   Should support a way to use keys that we don't recognize yet.  Add a
    command that adds entries to special_keys somehow.	How <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> we make this
    portable (X11, <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>, ..)?
7   Add a flag to <A HREF="options.html#'guioptions'">'guioptions'</A> that tells not to remove inactive menu items.
    For systems where greying-out or removing menu items is very slow.  The
    menu items would remain visibly normally, but not <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> anything.
7   Add &quot;:minimize&quot; and &quot;:maximize&quot;, which <A HREF="starting.html#iconize">iconize</A> the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> and back.
    Useful when using <A HREF="starting.html#gvim">gvim</A> to run a <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> (e.g. <A HREF="syntax.html#2html.vim">2html.vim</A>).
7   <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A>: Is <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to free allocated colors, so that other programs can
    use them again?  Otherwise, allow disabling allocating the default colors.
    Or allocate an own colormap (check UAE).  With an option to use <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  For
    the commandline, &quot;-install&quot; is mostly used for <A HREF="options.html#X11">X11</A> programs.
7   Should support multi-column <A HREF="gui.html#menus">menus</A>.
-   Should add option for where to put the &quot;Help&quot; menu: like <A HREF="gui_x11.html#Motif">Motif</A> at the far
    right, or with the other <A HREF="gui.html#menus">menus</A> (but still at the right).
-   Add menu item to &quot;Keep <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode&quot;.
8   &quot;:mkgvimrc&quot; command, that includes <A HREF="gui.html#menus">menus</A>.
6   Big change: Move <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> to separate program &quot;vimgui&quot;, to make <A HREF="starting.html#startup">startup</A> of vim a
    lot faster, but still be able to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> &quot;vim -g&quot; or &quot;<A HREF="gui_x11.html#:gui">:gui</A>&quot;.
7   More explicit mouse button binding instead of <A HREF="options.html#'mousemodel'">'mousemodel'</A>?
7   Add option to set the position of the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> on the screen.  'windowpos',
    which has a value of &quot;123,456&quot;: &lt;x&gt;,&lt;y&gt;.
    Or add a command, like &quot;<A HREF="gui.html#:winsize">:winsize</A>&quot;?
7   Add toolbar for more GUIs.
8   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to use &quot;amenu icon=BuiltIn##&quot;, so that the toolbar item
    name can be chosen free.
7   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to put the toolbar on top, left, right and/or bottom of
    the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>?  Allows for softkey-like use.
6   Separate the part of Vim that does the editing from the part that runs the
    <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>.  Communicate through a pseudo-tty.  Vim starts up, creates a
    pty that is connected to the <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A>.  When the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> starts, the pty is
    reconnected to the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> process.  When the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> stops, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is connected to
    the <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A> again.  Also use the pty for external processes, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> looks
    like a vt100 <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A> to them.  Vim uses extra commands to communicate <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>
    things.
7   <A HREF="gui_x11.html#Motif">Motif</A>: For a <A HREF="eval.html#confirm()">confirm()</A> <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Enter&gt;">&lt;Enter&gt;</A> should be ignored when no default
    button selected, <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Esc&gt;">&lt;Esc&gt;</A> should close the <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>.
7   When using a pseudo-tty Vim should behave like some <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A> (vt52 looks
    simple enough).  Terminal codes to/from shell should be translated.
-   Would <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> be useful to be able to quit the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> and go back to the <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A>
    where <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> was started from?
7   Support &quot;-visual &lt;type&gt;&quot; command line argument.


Autocommands:
9   Rework the code from FEAT_OSFILETYPE for <A HREF="filetype.html#autocmd-osfiletypes">autocmd-osfiletypes</A> to use
    <A HREF="options.html#'filetype'">'filetype'</A>.  Only for when the current buffer is known.
-   Put <A HREF="autocmd.html#autocommand">autocommand</A> event names in a hashtable for faster lookup?
8   When the <A HREF="autocmd.html#SwapExists">SwapExists</A> event is triggered, provide information about the
    swap file, e.g., whether the process is running, file was modified, etc.
    Must be possible to check the situation that it's probably OK to delete
    the swap file. (Marc Merlin)
8   When all the patterns for an event are &quot;*&quot; there is no need to expand
    buffer names to a full path.  This can be slow for NFS.
7   For <A HREF="autocmd.html#autocommand">autocommand</A> events that trigger multiple times per buffer (e.g.,
    CursorHold), go through the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> once and cache the result for a specific
    buffer.  Invalidate the cache when adding/deleting autocommands or
    <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> the buffer name.
7   Add TagJump event: <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> something after jumping to a <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>.
8   Add &quot;TagJumpFile&quot; <A HREF="autocmd.html#autocommand">autocommand</A>: When jumping to another file for a <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>.
    Can be used to open &quot;main.c.gz&quot; when &quot;main.c&quot; isn't found.
8   Use another option than <A HREF="options.html#'updatetime'">'updatetime'</A> for the <A HREF="autocmd.html#CursorHold">CursorHold</A> event.  The two
    things are unrelated for the user (but the implementation is more
    difficult).
7   Add <A HREF="autocmd.html#autocommand">autocommand</A> event for when a buffer cannot be abandoned.  So that the
    user can define the action taking (autowrite, <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A>, fail) based on the
    kind of file. (Yakov Lerner)  Or is <A HREF="autocmd.html#BufLeave">BufLeave</A> sufficient?
8   Autocommand for when modified files have been found, when getting input
    focus again (e.g., FileChangedFocus).
    Check when: getting focus, jumping to another buffer, <A HREF="eval.html#...">...</A>
8   Autocommands should not change <A HREF="change.html#registers">registers</A>.  And marks?  And the <A HREF="motion.html#jumplist">jumplist</A>?
    And anything else?  Add a command to save and restore these things.
8   Add autocommands, user <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A> and user commands to &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#:mkvimrc">:mkvimrc</A>&quot;.
6   Add KeymapChanged event, so that the effects of a different keymap can be
    handled (e.g., other font) (Ron Aaron)
7   When trying to open a directory, trigger an OpenDirectory event.
7   Add file type in front of file <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>: &lt;d&gt; for directory, &lt;l&gt; for link,
    &lt;x&gt; for executable, etc.  With commas to separate alternatives.  The
    <A HREF="autocmd.html#autocommand">autocommand</A> is only executed when both the file type AND the file <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>
    match. (Leonard)
5   Add option that specifies extensions which are to be discarded from the
    file name.  E.g. 'ausuffix', with &quot;.gz,.orig&quot;.  Such that file.c.gz will
    trigger the &quot;*.c&quot; autocommands.  (Belabas)
7   Add something to break the autocommands for the current event, and for
    what follows.  Useful for a &quot;<A HREF="autocmd.html#BufWritePre">BufWritePre</A>&quot; that wants to avoid <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> the
    file.
8   When editing &quot;tt.gz&quot;, which is in <A HREF="os_dos.html#DOS">DOS</A> format, <A HREF="options.html#'fileformat'">'fileformat'</A> stays at
    &quot;<A HREF="os_unix.html#unix">unix</A>&quot;, thus <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> the file changes <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  Somehow detect that the read
    command used <A HREF="os_dos.html#dos">dos</A> fileformat.  Same for <A HREF="options.html#'fileencoding'">'fileencoding'</A>.
-   Add events to autocommands:
    Error	    - When an error happens
    NormalEnter	    - Entering <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> mode
    ReplaceEnter    - Entering <A HREF="insert.html#Replace">Replace</A> mode
    CmdEnter	    - Entering <A HREF="cmdline.html#Cmdline">Cmdline</A> mode (with type of cmdline to allow
			different <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>)
    VisualEnter	    - Entering <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode
    *Leave	    - Leaving a mode (in pair with the above *Enter)
    VimLeaveCheck    - Before Vim decides to exit, so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can be cancelled
		      when <A HREF="starting.html#exiting">exiting</A> isn't a good idea.
    CursorHoldC     - <A HREF="autocmd.html#CursorHold">CursorHold</A> while command-line editing
    WinMoved	    - when <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> have been moved around, e.g, &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:wincmd">:wincmd</A> J&quot;
    SearchPost	    - After doing a search command (e.g. to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#M">M</A>&quot;)
    PreDirChanged/PostDirChanged
		    - Before/after &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:cd">:cd</A>&quot; has been used (for <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> the
		      <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> title)
    ShutDown	    - when the system is about to shut down
    InsertCharPost  - user typed a character in <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode, after <A HREF="insert.html#inserting">inserting</A>
		      the char.
    BufModified	    - When a buffer becomes modified, or unmodified (for
		      putting a [+] in the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> title or checking out the
		      file from CVS).
    BufFirstChange  - When making a change, when <A HREF="options.html#'modified'">'modified'</A> is set.  Can be
		      used to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> a <A HREF="recover.html#:preserve">:preserve</A> for remote files.
    BufChange	    - after a change was made.  Set some <A HREF="eval.html#variables">variables</A> to indicate
		      the position and number of inserted/deleted lines, so
		      that marks can be updated.  HierAssist has patch to add
		      BufChangePre, BufChangePost and RevertBuf. (Shah)
    ViewChanged	    - triggered when the text scrolls and when the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> size
		      changes.
    WinResized	    - After a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> has been resized
    WinClose	    - Just before closing a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>
-   Write the file now and then ('autosave'):

				  *<A NAME="'autosave'"></A><B>'autosave'</B>* *<A NAME="'as'"></A><B>'as'</B>* *<A NAME="'noautosave'"></A><B>'noautosave'</B>* *<A NAME="'noas'"></A><B>'noas'</B>*
    <A HREF="#'autosave'">'autosave'</A> <A HREF="#'as'">'as'</A> number  (default 0)
	    Automatically write the current buffer to file N seconds after the
	    last change has been made and when |<A HREF="options.html#'modified'">'modified'</A>| is still set.
	    Default: 0 = <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> not autosave the buffer.
    Alternative: have <A HREF="#'autosave'">'autosave'</A> use <A HREF="options.html#'updatetime'">'updatetime'</A> and <A HREF="options.html#'updatecount'">'updatecount'</A> but make
    them save the file itself besides the swapfile.


Omni completion:
-   Add a flag to <A HREF="options.html#'complete'">'complete'</A> to be able to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> omni completion with <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-N">CTRL-N</A> (and
    mix <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> with other kinds of completion).
-   Ideas from the Vim 7 BOF at SANE:
	- For interpreted languages, use the interpreter to obtain information.
	  Should work for Java (Eclipse does this), <A HREF="if_pyth.html#Python">Python</A>, <A HREF="if_tcl.html#Tcl">Tcl</A>, etc.
	  Richard Emberson mentioned working on an interface to Java.
	- Check Readline for its completion interface.

<A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode completion/expansion:
-   <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> implementation of the popup menu.
7   When searching in other files the name flash by, too fast to read.  Only
    display a name every second or so, like with &quot;<A HREF="quickfix.html#:vimgrep">:vimgrep</A>&quot;.
7   When expanding file names with an environment variable, add the match with
    the unexpanded var.  So $HOME/tm expands to &quot;/home/guy/tmp&quot; and
    &quot;$HOME/tmp&quot;
8   When there is no <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> before the cursor but something like &quot;sys.&quot; complete
    with &quot;sys.&quot;.  Works well for C and similar languages.
9   ^X^L completion doesn't repeat correctly.  It uses the first match with
    the last added line, instead of continuing where the last match ended.
    (Webb)
8   Add option to set different behavior for <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode completion:
    - ignore/match <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A>
    - different characters than <A HREF="options.html#'iskeyword'">'iskeyword'</A>
8   Add option 'isexpand', containing characters when doing expansion (so that
    &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; and &quot;\&quot; can be included, without <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> <A HREF="options.html#'iskeyword'">'iskeyword'</A>). (Goldfarb)
    Also: 'istagword': characters used for <A HREF="tagsrch.html#CTRL-]">CTRL-]</A>.
    When 'isexpand' or 'istagword' are empty, use <A HREF="options.html#'iskeyword'">'iskeyword'</A>.
    Alternative: Use a <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> so that start and end of a keyword can be
    defined, only allow dash in the middle, etc.
8   Add a command to <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> the completion, go back to the original text.
7   Completion of an abbreviation: Can leave letters out, like what Instant
    text does: www.textware.com
8   Use the class information in the <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A> file to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> context-sensitive
    completion.  After &quot;foo.&quot; complete all member functions/variables of
    &quot;foo&quot;.  Need to search backwards for the class definition of foo.
    Should work for C++ and Java.
    Even more context would be <A HREF="#nice">nice</A>: &quot;import java.^N&quot; -&gt; &quot;io&quot;, &quot;lang&quot;, etc.
7   When expanding $HOME/dir with ^X^F keep the <A HREF="options.html#$HOME">$HOME</A> (with an option?).
7   Add <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> command in <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode like <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-N">CTRL-N</A>, that completes WORDS
    instead of words.
8   Add <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> <A HREF="undo.html#CTRL-R">CTRL-R</A>: complete words from <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> contents.
8   Add completion of previously inserted texts (like what <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-A">CTRL-A</A> does).
    Requires remembering a number of insertions.
8   Add '<A HREF="motion.html#f">f</A>' flag to <A HREF="options.html#'complete'">'complete'</A>: Expand file names.
    Also apply <A HREF="options.html#'complete'">'complete'</A> to whole line completion.
-   Add a flag to <A HREF="options.html#'complete'">'complete'</A> to only scan local header files, not system
    header files. (Andri Moell)
-   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to search include files in several places.  Use the
    <A HREF="options.html#'path'">'path'</A> option?  Can this be done with the dictionary completion (use
    <A HREF="editing.html#wildcards">wildcards</A> in the file name)?
-   Make <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> CTRL-K <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> a binary search in the dictionary (if it's sorted).
-   Speed up <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> CTRL-K dictionary searching (don't use a regexp?).
-   Set a <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> at the position where the match was found (file <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A>, could
    be in another file).
-   Add <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-A">CTRL-A</A> command in <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> mode: show all matches.
-   Make <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> <A HREF="various.html#CTRL-L">CTRL-L</A> use the <A HREF="options.html#'complete'">'complete'</A> option?
-   Add command in <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> mode to add following words to the completed <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>
    (e.g. to complete &quot;Pointer-&gt;element&quot; with <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-P">CTRL-P</A> <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A>)
-   <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-F">CTRL-F</A>: Use <A HREF="options.html#'path'">'path'</A> to find completions.
-   <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-F">CTRL-F</A>: Option to use forward slashes on <A HREF="os_win32.html#MS-Windows">MS-Windows</A>?
-   <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-F">CTRL-F</A>: Don't replace &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#$VIM">$VIM</A>&quot; with the actual value. (Kelly)
-   Allow listing all matches in some way (and picking one from the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>).


Command line editing:
7   Add commands (keys) to delete from the cursor to the end of the command
    line.
8   Custom completion of user commands can't use the standard completion
    <A HREF="eval.html#functions">functions</A>.  Add a hook to invoke a user function that returns the type of
    completion to be done: &quot;file&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>&quot;, &quot;custom&quot;, etc.
-   Add flags to <A HREF="options.html#'whichwrap'">'whichwrap'</A> for command line editing (cursor right at end of
    lines wraps to start of line).
-   Make editing the command line work like <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode in a single-line <A HREF="starting.html#view">view</A>
    on a buffer that contains the command line <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A>.  But this has many
    disadvantages, only implement <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> when these can be solved.  <A HREF="intro.html#Elvis">Elvis</A> has run
    into these, see remarks from Steve (~/Mail/oldmail/kirkendall/in.00012).
    - Going back in <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A> and editing a line there would change the <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A>.
      Would still need to keep a copy of the <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A> elsewhere.  Like the
      <A HREF="cmdline.html#cmdwin">cmdwin</A> does now already.
    - Use <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-O">CTRL-O</A> to execute one <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> mode command.  How to switch to normal
      mode for more commands?  <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Esc&gt;">&lt;Esc&gt;</A> should cancel the command line.  <A HREF="tagsrch.html#CTRL-T">CTRL-T</A>?
    - To allow &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#/">/</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="change.html#=">=</A> need to recursively call <A HREF="eval.html#getcmdline()">getcmdline()</A>, overwrite the
      cmdline.  But then we are editing a command-line again.  How to avoid
      that the user gets confused by the stack of command lines?
    - Use edit() for normal cmdline editing?  Would have to integrate
      <A HREF="eval.html#getcmdline()">getcmdline()</A> into edit().  Need to solve conflicts between <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode
      and <A HREF="cmdline.html#Command-line">Command-line</A> mode commands.  Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> work like Korn shell and tcsh.
      Problems:
	- <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A>: completion with <A HREF="options.html#'wildchar'">'wildchar'</A>
	- <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A>: use cmdline <A HREF="map.html#abbreviations">abbreviations</A>
	- <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A>: <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-D">CTRL-D</A> deletes indent instead of listing matches
	- <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A>: no <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> commands
	- <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A>: no &quot;<A HREF="cmdline.html#:">:</A>&quot; commands?
	- <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A>: allow <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode only within one line.
    - where to show insert/normal mode message?  Change highlighting of
      character in first column?
    - Implementation ideas:
      - Set &quot;curwin&quot; and &quot;curbuf&quot; to the command line <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> and buffer.
      - curwin-&gt;w_topline is always equal to curwin-&gt;w_cursor.lnum.
      - never set <A HREF="options.html#'number'">'number'</A>, no <A HREF="fold.html#folding">folding</A>, etc.  No status line.
      - sync <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> after entering a command line?
      - use NV_NOCL flag for commands that are not allowed in <A HREF="cmdline.html#Command-line">Command-line</A>
	Mode.


Command line completion:
8   Change expand_interactively into a flag that is passed <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> an argument.
8   With command line completion after '<A HREF="motion.html#&#37;">&#37;</A>' and '<A HREF="pattern.html##">#</A>', expand current/alternate
    file name, so <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can be edited.  Also with modifiers, such <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> &quot;<A HREF="cmdline.html#&#37;:h">&#37;:h</A>&quot;.
8   When completing command names, either sort them on the long name, or <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>
    them with the optional part inside <A HREF="motion.html#[]">[]</A>.
8   Add an option to ignore <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> when doing interactive completion.  So that
    &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:e">:e</A> file&lt;Tab&gt;&quot; also lists &quot;Filelist&quot; (sorted after matching <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> matches).
7   Completion of &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A> <A HREF="change.html#x">x</A> &quot;: fill in the current <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>, so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can be
    edited. (Sven Guckes)
-   For <A HREF="options.html#'wildmenu'">'wildmenu'</A>: Simplify &quot;../bar&quot; when possible.
-   When using <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;Up&gt;">&lt;Up&gt;</A> in wildmenu mode for a submenu, should go back to the
    current menu, not the first one.  E.g., &quot;<A HREF="gui.html#:emenu">:emenu</A> File.Save&lt;Up&gt;&quot;.
8   When using backtick expansion, the external command may write a greeting
    message.  Add an option or commands to remove lines that match a <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A>?
7   When listing matches of files, display the common path separately from the
    file names, if this makes the listing shorter. (Webb)
-   Add command line completion for &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:ilist">:ilist</A>&quot; and friends, show matching
    identifiers (Webb).
8   Add command line completion for &quot;old value&quot; of a command.  &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:args">:args</A> &lt;key&gt;&quot;
    would result in the current <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of arguments, which you can then edit.
7   Add command line completion with <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A>, just like <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode completion.
    Useful for &quot;:s/word/xx/&quot;.
-   Add command to go back to the text <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> was before completion started.
    Also to be used for <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;Up&gt;">&lt;Up&gt;</A> in the command line.
-   Add 'wildlongest' option: Key to use to find longest common match for
    command line completion (default CTRL-L), like <A HREF="options.html#'wildchar'">'wildchar'</A>. (Cregut)
    Also: when there are several matches, show them line a <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-D">CTRL-D</A>.


Command line <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A>:
-   Add &quot;KeyWasTyped&quot; flag: It's reset before each command and set when a
    character from the keyboard is consumed. Value is used to decide to put a
    command line in <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A> or not. Put line in <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A> if <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> didn't
    completely result from one <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>.
-   When using &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:browse">:browse</A>&quot;, also put the resulting edit command in the <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A>,
    so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can be repeated. (Demirel)


<A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode:
9   When <A HREF="options.html#'autoindent'">'autoindent'</A> is set, hitting <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;CR&gt;">&lt;CR&gt;</A> <A HREF="if_cscop.html#twice">twice</A>, while there is text after
    the cursor, doesn't delete the autoindent in the resulting blank line.
    (Rich Wales) This is <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> compatible, but <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> looks like a bug.
8   When using <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-O">CTRL-O</A> in <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode, then executing an insert command
    &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#a">a</A>&quot; or &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#i">i</A>&quot;, should we return to <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode after <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Esc&gt;">&lt;Esc&gt;</A>? (Eggink)
    Perhaps <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can be allowed a single time, to be able to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A>
    &quot;&lt;C-O&gt;10axyz&lt;Esc&gt;&quot;.  Nesting this further is confusing.
    &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A> <A HREF="term.html#&lt;F2&gt;">&lt;F2&gt;</A> 5aabc&lt;Esc&gt;&quot; works only once from <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode.
8   When using <A HREF="editing.html#CTRL-G">CTRL-G</A> <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-O">CTRL-O</A> <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> like CTRL-\ <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-O">CTRL-O</A>, but when returning with
    the cursor in the same position and the text didn't change continue the
    same change, so that &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; repeats the whole insert.
7   Use <A HREF="editing.html#CTRL-G">CTRL-G</A> <A HREF="map.html#&lt;count&gt;">&lt;count&gt;</A> to repeat what follows.  Useful for <A HREF="insert.html#inserting">inserting</A> a
    character multiple times or <A HREF="repeat.html#repeating">repeating</A> <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-Y">CTRL-Y</A>.
-   Make <A HREF="options.html#'revins'">'revins'</A> work in <A HREF="insert.html#Replace">Replace</A> mode.
7   Use <A HREF="options.html#'matchpairs'">'matchpairs'</A> for <A HREF="options.html#'showmatch'">'showmatch'</A>: When <A HREF="insert.html#inserting">inserting</A> a character check if <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    appears in the rhs of <A HREF="options.html#'matchpairs'">'matchpairs'</A>.
-   In <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode (and command line editing?): Allow <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> of the last typed
    character.	This is useful for <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-U">CTRL-U</A>, <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A>, delete and backspace, and
    also for characters that wrap to the next line.
    Also: be able to <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> <A HREF="undo.html#CTRL-R">CTRL-R</A> (insert <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A>).
    Possibly use 'backspace'=&quot;whole&quot; for a mode where at least a <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;CR&gt;">&lt;CR&gt;</A> that
    inserts autoindent is undone by a single <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;BS&gt;">&lt;BS&gt;</A>.
-   Use <A HREF="editing.html#CTRL-G">CTRL-G</A> in <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode for an extra range of commands, like &quot;<A HREF="index.html#g">g</A>&quot; in
    <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> mode.
-   Make <A HREF="options.html#'paste'">'paste'</A> work without resetting other <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>, but override their
    value.  Avoids problems when <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> files and modelines or autocommands
    are used.
-   When typing <A HREF="visual.html#CTRL-V">CTRL-V</A> and a digit higher than 2, only expect two digits.
-   <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> binary numbers with <A HREF="visual.html#CTRL-V">CTRL-V</A> <A HREF="motion.html#b">b</A>.
-   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;BS&gt;">&lt;BS&gt;</A>, &lt;C-W&gt; and &lt;C-U&gt;.  Bash uses <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-Y">CTRL-Y</A>.


<A HREF="options.html#'cindent'">'cindent'</A>, <A HREF="options.html#'smartindent'">'smartindent'</A>:
9   Wrapping a variable <A HREF="starting.html#initialization">initialization</A> should have extra indent:
	char &#42; veryLongName =
		&quot;very long string&quot;
    Also check if &quot;cino=+10&quot; is used correctly.
8   Lisp indenting: &quot;\\&quot; confuses the indenter. (Dorai Sitaram, 2006 May 17)
8   Why are continuation lines outside of a <A HREF="intro.html#{}">{}</A> block not indented?  E.g.:
	long_type foo =
	value;
8   Java: Inside an anonymous class, after an &quot;else&quot; or &quot;try&quot; the indent is
    too small. (Vincent Bergbauer)
    Problem of using <A HREF="intro.html#{}">{}</A> inside (), <A HREF="options.html#'cindent'">'cindent'</A> doesn't work then.
8   In C++ it's possible to have <A HREF="intro.html#{}">{}</A> inside (): (Kirshna)
		func(
			new String[] {
			    &quot;asdf&quot;,
			    &quot;asdf&quot;
			}
		    );
8   In C++ a function isn't recognized inside a namespace:
    (Chow Loong Jin)
	namespace {
	    int
		 func(int arg) {
		 }
	}
6   Add <A HREF="options.html#'cino'">'cino'</A> flag for this function argument layout: (Spencer Collyer)
	    func( arg1
	        , arg2
		, arg3
		);
7   Add separate &quot;(0&quot; option into inside/outside a function (Zellner):
	func(
	   int <A HREF="change.html#x">x</A>)	<A HREF="version7.html#//">//</A> indent like &quot;(4&quot;
	{
	   if (a
	       &amp;&amp; <A HREF="motion.html#b">b</A>)	<A HREF="version7.html#//">//</A> indent like &quot;(0&quot;
9   Using &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#{">{</A>&quot; in a comment: (Helmut Stiegler)
    if (a)
    {
	    if (b)
	    {
		    <A HREF="version7.html#//">//</A> {
	    }
	    } &lt;-- this is indented incorrect
    Problem is that find_start_brace() checks for the matching brace to be in
    a comment, but not braces in between.  Requires adding a comment check to
    findmatchlimit().
-   Make smartindenting configurable.  Add 'sioptions', e.g. '<A HREF="pattern.html##">#</A>' setting the
    indent to 0 should be switched on/off.
7   Support ANSI style function header, with each argument on its own line.
-   &quot;<A HREF="change.html#[p">[p</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="change.html#]p">]p</A>&quot; should use <A HREF="options.html#'cindent'">'cindent'</A> code if it's on (only for the first
    line).
-   Add option to <A HREF="options.html#'cindent'">'cindent'</A> to set indent for comments outside of <A HREF="intro.html#{}">{}</A>?
-   Make a command to line up a comment after a code line with a previous
    comment after a code line.	Can <A HREF="options.html#'cindent'">'cindent'</A> <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this automatically?
-   When 'cindent'ing a '<A HREF="motion.html#}">}</A>', showmatch is done before fixing the indent.  It
    looks better when the indent is fixed before the showmatch. (Webb)
-   Add option to make indenting work in comments too (for commented-out
    code), unless the line starts with &quot;*&quot;.
-   Don't use <A HREF="options.html#'cindent'">'cindent'</A> when doing <A HREF="change.html#formatting">formatting</A> with &quot;<A HREF="change.html#gq">gq</A>&quot;?
-   When <A HREF="change.html#formatting">formatting</A> a comment after some text, insert the '*' for the new line
    (indent is correct if <A HREF="options.html#'cindent'">'cindent'</A> is set, but '*' doesn't get inserted).
8   When <A HREF="options.html#'comments'">'comments'</A> has both &quot;s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/&quot; and &quot;s1:(*,mb:*,ex:*)&quot;, the
    '<A HREF="change.html#x">x</A>' flag always uses the first match.  Need to continue looking for more
    matches of &quot;*&quot; and remember all characters that could end the comment.
-   For smartindent: When typing 'else' line <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> up with matching 'if'.
-   <A HREF="options.html#'smartindent'">'smartindent'</A>: allow patterns in <A HREF="options.html#'cinwords'">'cinwords'</A>, for e.g. TeX files, where
    lines start with &quot;\item&quot;.
-   Support this style of comments (with an option): (Brown)
	/* here is a comment that
	is just autoindented, and
	nothing else */
-   Add words to <A HREF="options.html#'cinwords'">'cinwords'</A> to reduce the indent, e.g., &quot;end&quot; or &quot;fi&quot;.
7   Use Tabs for the indent of starting lines, pad with spaces for
    continuation lines.  Allows <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> <A HREF="options.html#'tabstop'">'tabstop'</A> without messing up the
    indents.
    Patch by Lech Lorens, 2010 Mar.  Update by James McCoy, 2014 Mar 15.


Java:
8   Can have <A HREF="intro.html#{}">{}</A> constructs inside parens.  Include changes from Steve
    Odendahl?
8   Recognize &quot;import java.util.Vector&quot; and use $CLASSPATH to find files for
    &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#[i">[i</A>&quot; commands and friends.
-   For files found with <A HREF="options.html#'include'">'include'</A>: handle &quot;*&quot; in included name, for Java.
    (Jason)
-   How to make a &quot;package java.util&quot; cause all classes in the package to be
    searched?  Also for &quot;import java.util.*&quot;. (Mark Brophy)


<A HREF="options.html#'comments'">'comments'</A>:
8   When <A HREF="change.html#formatting">formatting</A> C comments that are after code, the &quot;*&quot; isn't repeated
    like it's done when there is no code.  And there is no automatic wrapping.
    Recognize comments that come after code.  Should insert the comment leader
    when it's &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html##">#</A>&quot; or &quot;<A HREF="version7.html#//">//</A>&quot;.
    Other way around: when a C command starts with &quot;* 4&quot; the &quot;*&quot; is repeated
    while <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> should not.  Use <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> HL comment recognition?
7   When using &quot;comments=fg:--&quot;, Vim inserts three spaces for a new line.
    When hitting a TAB, these spaces could be removed.
7   The 'n'esting flag doesn't <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> the indenting of the last (rightmost) item.
6   Make strings in <A HREF="options.html#'comments'">'comments'</A> option a RE, to be able to match more
    complicated things. (Phillipps)  Use a special flag to indicate that a
    <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> is used.
8   Make the <A HREF="options.html#'comments'">'comments'</A> option with &quot;/* &#42; */&quot; lines only repeat the &quot;*&quot; line
    when there is a &quot;/*&quot; before <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>?  Or include this in <A HREF="options.html#'cindent'">'cindent'</A>?


Virtual edit:
8   Make the horizontal scrollbar work to move the text further left.
7   Allow specifying <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> separately for Tabs and beyond end-of-line?


Text <A HREF="index.html#objects">objects</A>:
8   Add text object for fold, so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can be yanked when it's open.
8   Add test <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> for text object commands &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#aw">aw</A>&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#iW">iW</A>&quot;, etc.
8   Add text object for part of a CamelHumpedWord and under_scored_word.
    (Scott Graham)  &quot;ac&quot; and &quot;au&quot;?
8   Add a text object for any kind of quoting, also with <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A>
    characters.  Option to specify what <A HREF="quotes.html#quotes">quotes</A> are recognized (default: all)
    use &quot;aq&quot; and &quot;iq&quot;.  Use 'quotepairs' to define pairs of <A HREF="quotes.html#quotes">quotes</A>, like
    <A HREF="options.html#'matchpairs'">'matchpairs'</A>?
8   Add text object for any kind of parens, also <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> ones.
8   Add a way to make an &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:omap">:omap</A>&quot; for a user-defined text object.  Requires
    <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> the starting position in oap-&gt;start.
8   Add &quot;<A HREF="change.html#gp">gp</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="change.html#gP">gP</A>&quot; commands: insert text and make sure there is a single
    space before <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>, unless at the start of the line, and after <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>, unless at
    the end of the line or before a &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot;.
7   Add <A HREF="index.html#objects">objects</A> with backwards extension?  Use &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#I">I</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#A">A</A>&quot;.  Thus &quot;2dAs&quot;
    deletes the current and previous <A HREF="motion.html#sentence">sentence</A>. (Jens Paulus)
7   Add &quot;g{&quot; and &quot;g}&quot; to move to the first/last character of a <A HREF="motion.html#paragraph">paragraph</A>
    (instead of the line just before/after a <A HREF="motion.html#paragraph">paragraph</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> with &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#{">{</A>&quot; and &quot;}&quot;).
6   Ignore comment leaders for <A HREF="index.html#objects">objects</A>.  Make &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#das">das</A>&quot; work in reply-email.
5   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to use <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> group matches <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a text object.  For
    example, define a &quot;ccItem&quot; group, then <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> &quot;da&lt;ccItem&gt;&quot; to delete one.
    Or, maybe just define &quot;dai&quot;, delete-an-item, to delete the <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> item the
    cursor is on.


<A HREF="visual.html#Select">Select</A> mode:
8   In blockwise mode, typed characters are inserted in front of the block,
    backspace deletes a column before the block. (Steve Hall)
7   Alt-leftmouse starts block mode selection in MS Word.
 See	<A HREF="http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Use_Alt-Mouse_to_select_blockwise">http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Use_Alt-Mouse_to_select_blockwise</A>.
7   Add Cmdline-select mode.  Like <A HREF="visual.html#Select">Select</A> mode, but used on the command line.
    - Change gui_send_mouse_event() to pass on mouse events when <A HREF="options.html#'mouse'">'mouse'</A>
      contains '<A HREF="change.html#C">C</A>' or '<A HREF="insert.html#A">A</A>'.
    - Catch mouse events in ex_getln.c.  Also shift-cursor, etc., like in
      normal_cmd().
    - remember start and end of selection in cmdline_info.
    - Typing text replaces the selection.


<A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode:
8   Support using &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; in <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode. Use the <A HREF="motion.html#operator">operator</A> applied to the <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A>
    selection, if possible.
-   When dragging the <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> selection with the mouse and <A HREF="options.html#'scrolloff'">'scrolloff'</A> is zero,
    behave like <A HREF="options.html#'scrolloff'">'scrolloff'</A> is one, so that the text scrolls when the pointer
    is in the top line.
-   Displaying size of <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> area: use 24-33 column display.
    When selecting multiple lines, up to about a screenful, also <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> the
    characters.
8   When using &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#I">I</A>&quot; or &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#A">A</A>&quot; in <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> block mode, short lines <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> not get the new
    text.  Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to add the text to short lines too, with padding
    where needed.
7   With a <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> block selected, &quot;2x&quot; deletes a block of double the width,
    &quot;3y&quot; yanks a block of triple width, etc.
7   When selecting <A HREF="motion.html#linewise">linewise</A>, using &quot;itext&quot; should insert &quot;text&quot; at the start
    of each selected line.
8   What is &quot;<A HREF="change.html#R">R</A>&quot; supposed to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> in <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode?
8   Make <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode local to the buffer.  Allow <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> to another buffer.
    When starting a new <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> selection, remove the <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> selection in any
    other buffer. (Ron Aaron)
8   Support dragging the <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> area to drop <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> somewhere else. (Ron Aaron,
    Ben Godfrey)
7   Support dragging the <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> area to drop <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> in another program, and
    receive dropped text from another program. (Ben Godfrey)
7   With blockwise <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode and &quot;<A HREF="change.html#c">c</A>&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="change.html#C">C</A>&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#I">I</A>&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#A">A</A>&quot;, etc., allow the use of
    a <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;CR&gt;">&lt;CR&gt;</A>.  The entered lines are repeated over the <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> area.
7   Filtering a block should only apply to the block, not to the whole lines.
    When the number of lines is increased, add lines. When decreased, pad with
    spaces or delete? Use &quot;:`&lt;,`&gt;&quot; on the command line.
8   After filtering the <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> area, make &quot;<A HREF="visual.html#gv">gv</A>&quot; select the filtered text?
    Currently &quot;<A HREF="visual.html#gv">gv</A>&quot; only selects a single line, not useful.
7   Don't move the cursor when <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A>?  Needed when the selection should
    stay the same.  Scroll to the cursor at any <A HREF="intro.html#movement">movement</A> command.  With an
    option!
7   In <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> block mode, need to be able to define a corner on a position
    that doesn't have text?  Also: when using the mouse, be able to select
    part of a TAB.  Even more: Add a mode where the cursor can be on a screen
    position where there is no text.  When typing, add spaces to fill the gap.
    Other solution: Always use curswant, so that you can move the cursor to
    the right column, and then use up/down movements to select the line,
    without <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> the column.
6   &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:left">:left</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:right">:right</A>&quot; should work in <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> block mode.
7   <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-I">CTRL-I</A> and <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-O">CTRL-O</A> should work in <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode, but only jump to marks in the
    current buffer.
6   In non-Block mode, &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#I">I</A>&quot; should insert the same text in front of each line,
    before the first non-blank, &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#gI">gI</A>&quot; in column 1.
6   In non-Block mode, &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#A">A</A>&quot; should append the same text after each line.
6   When in blockwise visual selection (CTRL-V), allow cursor to be placed
    right of the line.  Could also allow cursor to be placed anywhere on a TAB
    or other special character.
6   Add commands to move selected text, without deselecting.


More advanced <A HREF="repeat.html#repeating">repeating</A> commands:
-   Add &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; command for visual mode: <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> last visual command (e.g. &quot;:fmt&quot;).
-   Add command to repeat last <A HREF="intro.html#movement">movement</A>.  Including <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A>.
-   Add &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; command after <A HREF="motion.html#operator">operator</A>: repeat last command of same <A HREF="motion.html#operator">operator</A>.  E.g.
    &quot;c.&quot; will repeat last change, also when &quot;<A HREF="change.html#x">x</A>&quot; used since then (Webb).
    &quot;y.&quot; will repeat last <A HREF="change.html#yank">yank</A>.
    &quot;c2.&quot; will repeat the last but one change?
    Also: keep <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A> of <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> mode commands, add command to <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> the <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A>
    and/or pick an older command.
-   History stack for . command?  Use &quot;g.&quot; command.


Mappings and <A HREF="map.html#Abbreviations">Abbreviations</A>:
8   When &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#0">0</A>&quot; is mapped (it is a <A HREF="intro.html#movement">movement</A> command) this <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> should not be
    used after typing another number, e.g. &quot;20l&quot;. (Charles Campbell)
    Is this possible without disabling the <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> of the following command?
8   Should <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> &lt;C-A&gt; and &lt;C-S-A&gt; both work?
7   &quot;:abbr <A HREF="motion.html#b">b</A> byte&quot;, append &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#b">b</A> &quot; to an existing <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> still expands to &quot;byte&quot;.
    This is <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> compatible, but can we avoid <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> anyway?
8   To make a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> work with a prepended &quot;<A HREF="change.html#x">x</A> to select a <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A>, store the
    last _typed_ <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> name and access <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> with &quot;&amp;.
8   Add &quot;:amap&quot;, like &quot;<A HREF="gui.html#:amenu">:amenu</A>&quot;.
7   Add a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> that works always, for remapping the keyboard.
8   Add &quot;:cab!&quot;, <A HREF="map.html#abbreviations">abbreviations</A> that only apply to <A HREF="cmdline.html#Command-line">Command-line</A> mode and not to
    entering search strings.
8   Add a flag to &quot;:abbrev&quot; to eat the character that triggers the
    abbreviation.  Thus &quot;abb <A HREF="motion.html#ab">ab</A> xxx&quot; and typing &quot;ab&lt;Space&gt;&quot; inserts &quot;xxx&quot; and
    not the <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;Space&gt;">&lt;Space&gt;</A>.
8   Give a warning when using <A HREF="pattern.html#CTRL-C">CTRL-C</A> in the lhs of a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>.  It will never
    (?) work.
7   Add &lt;0x8f&gt; (hex), &lt;033&gt; (octal) and &lt;123&gt; (decimal) to <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;&gt;">&lt;&gt;</A> <A HREF="intro.html#notation">notation</A>?
7   When someone tries to unmap with a trailing space, and <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> fails, try
    unmapping without the trailing space.  Helps for &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:unmap">:unmap</A> xx &#124; unmap yy&quot;.
6   Context-sensitive <A HREF="map.html#abbreviations">abbreviations</A>: Specify <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> group(s) in which the
    <A HREF="map.html#abbreviations">abbreviations</A> are to be used.
-   Add mappings that take arguments.  Could work like the &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:s">:s</A>&quot; command.  For
    example, for a mouse <A HREF="intro.html#escape">escape</A> sequence:
	:mapexp  &lt;Esc&gt;{\([0-9]*\),\([0-9]*\);	H\1j\2l
-   Add optional &lt;Number&gt; argument for mappings:
    <A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A> &lt;Number&gt;q	     ^W^W&lt;Number&gt;G
    <A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A> &lt;Number&gt;q&lt;Number&gt;t  ^W^W&lt;Number1-1&gt;G&lt;Number2&gt;l
    <A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A> q&lt;Char&gt;	    :s/&lt;Char&gt;/\u\0/g
    Or implicit:
    <A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A> <A HREF="repeat.html#q">q</A>			&lt;Register&gt;d&lt;Number&gt;$
-   Add command to repeat a whole <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> (&quot;.&quot; only repeats the last change in
    a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>).  Also: Repeat a whole insert command, including any mappings
    that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> included.  Sort-of automatic <A HREF="repeat.html#recording">recording</A>?
-   Include an option (or flag to <A HREF="options.html#'cpoptions'">'cpoptions'</A>) that makes <A HREF="message.html#errors">errors</A> in mappings
    not flush the rest of the <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> (like nvi does).
-   Use context sensitiveness of completion to switch <A HREF="map.html#abbreviations">abbreviations</A> and
    mappings off for :unab and <A HREF="map.html#:unmap">:unmap</A>.
6   When using mappings in <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode, insert characters for incomplete
    mappings first, then remove them again when a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> matches.  Avoids
    that characters that are the start of some <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> are not shown until you
    hit another character.
-   Add mappings for replace mode: &quot;:rmap&quot;.  How <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> we then enter mappings for
    non-replace <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode?
-   Add separate mappings for Visual-character/block/line mode?
-   Add 'mapstop' command, to stop recursive mappings.
-   <A HREF="eval.html#List">List</A> mappings that have a raw <A HREF="intro.html#escape">escape</A> sequence both with the name of the key
    for that <A HREF="intro.html#escape">escape</A> sequence (if there is one) and the sequence itself.
-   <A HREF="eval.html#List">List</A> mappings: Once with special keys listed <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;&gt;">&lt;&gt;</A>, once with <A HREF="intro.html#meta">meta</A> chars <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A>
    &lt;M-a&gt;, once with the byte values (octal?).  Sort of &quot;<A HREF="spell.html#spell">spell</A> mapping&quot; command?
-   When entering mappings: Add the possibility to enter <A HREF="intro.html#meta">meta</A> keys like they
    are displayed, within <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;&gt;">&lt;&gt;</A>: &lt;M-a&gt;, &lt;~@&gt; or &lt;|a&gt;.
-   Allow multiple arguments to <A HREF="map.html#:unmap">:unmap</A>.
-   Command to show keys that are not used and available for <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>
    &quot;:freekeys&quot;.
-   Allow any character except white space in <A HREF="map.html#abbreviations">abbreviations</A> lhs (Riehm).


Incsearch:
-   Add a limit to the number of lines that are searched for <A HREF="options.html#'incsearch'">'incsearch'</A>?
-   When no match is found and the user types more, the screen is redrawn
    anyway.  Could skip that.  Esp. if the line wraps and the text is scrolled
    up every time.
-   Temporarily open <A HREF="fold.html#folds">folds</A> to show where the search ends up.  Restore the
    <A HREF="fold.html#folds">folds</A> when going to another line.
-   When incsearch used and hitting return, no need to search again in many
    cases, saves a lot of time in big files. (Slootman wants to work on this?)
    When not using special characters, can continue search from the last match
    (or not at all, when there was no match).  See oldmail/webb/in.872.


Searching:
9   Should have an option for <A HREF="quickfix.html#:vimgrep">:vimgrep</A> to find lines without a match.
8   Add &quot;g/&quot; and &quot;gb&quot; to search for a <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> in the Visually selected text?
    &quot;<A HREF="change.html#g?">g?</A>&quot; is already used for <A HREF="change.html#rot13">rot13</A>.
    The vis.vim <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> has a &quot;:S&quot; command that does something like this.
    Can use &quot;g/&quot; in <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> mode, uses the <A HREF="motion.html#'&lt;">'&lt;</A> to <A HREF="motion.html#'&gt;">'&gt;</A> area.
    Use &quot;&amp;/&quot; for searching the text in the <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> area?
9   Add &quot;<A HREF="visual.html#v">v</A>&quot; offset: &quot;/pat/v&quot;: search for <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> and start <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode on the
    matching text.
8   Add a modifier to interpret a space like &quot;\_s\+&quot; to make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> much easier to
    search for a phrase.
8   Add a mechanism for recursiveness: &quot;\@(([^()]*\@g[^()]*)\)&quot;.  \@g stands
    for &quot;go recursive here&quot; and \@( \) marks the recursive part.
    <A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> does <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> this way:
	    $paren = qr/ \(( [^()] &#124; (??{ $paren }) )* \) /x;
    Here $paren is evaluated when it's encountered.  This is like a <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A>
    inside a <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A>.  In the above terms <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> would be:
	    \@((\([^()]\|\@g\)*)\)
8   Show the progress every second.  Could use the code that checks for <A HREF="pattern.html#CTRL-C">CTRL-C</A>
    to find out how much time has passed.  Or use SIGALRM.  Where to show the
    number?
7   Support for approximate-regexps to find similar words (agrep
	<A HREF="http://www.tgries.de/agrep/">http://www.tgries.de/agrep/</A> tre:	<A HREF="http://laurikari.net/tre/index.html">http://laurikari.net/tre/index.html</A>.
8   Add an item for a big character range, so that one can search for a
    chinese character: \z[234-1234]  or \z[XX-YY] or \z[0x23-0x234].
7   Add an item stack to allow matching ().  One side is &quot;push X on
    the stack if previous atom matched&quot;.  Other side is &quot;match with top of
    stack, pop <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> when <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> matches&quot;.  Use &quot;\@pX&quot; and &quot;\@m&quot;?
	Example: \((\@p).\{-}\@m\)*
7   Add a flag to &quot;/pat/&quot; to <A HREF="editing.html#discard">discard</A> an error.  Useful to continue a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>
    when a search fails.  Could be &quot;/pat/E&quot; (e is already used for end offset).
7   Add <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> item to use properties of <A HREF="mbyte.html#Unicode">Unicode</A> characters.  In <A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> it's
    &quot;\p{L}&quot; for a <A HREF="print.html#letter">letter</A>.  See Regular Expression Pocket Reference.
8   Would <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> be possible to allow &quot;:23,45/pat/flags&quot; to search for &quot;pat&quot; in
    lines 23 to 45?  Or does this conflict with <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> range <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A>?
8   Allow identical pairs in <A HREF="options.html#'matchpairs'">'matchpairs'</A>.  Restrict the search to the current
    line.
7   Allow longer pairs in <A HREF="options.html#'matchpairs'">'matchpairs'</A>.  Use matchit.vim <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> an
    example.
8   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to define the character that &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#&#37;">&#37;</A>&quot; checks for in
    #if/#endif.  For nmake it's !if/!endif.
-   For &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#&#37;">&#37;</A>&quot; command: set hierarchy for which things include other things that
    should be ignored (like &quot;*/&quot; or &quot;#endif&quot; inside /* */).
    Also: use &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#&#37;">&#37;</A>&quot; to jump from start to end of <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> region and back.
    Alternative: use matchit.vim
8   A <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> like &quot;\([^a]\+\)\+&quot; takes an awful long time.  Recognize that
    the recursive &quot;\+&quot; is meaningless and optimize for <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
    This one is also very slow on &quot;/* some comment */&quot;: &quot;^\/\*\(.*[^/]\)*$&quot;.
7   Recognize &quot;[a-z]&quot;, &quot;[0-9]&quot;, etc. and replace them with the faster &quot;\l&quot; and
    &quot;\d&quot;.
7   Add a way to specify characters in &lt;C-M&gt; or &lt;Key&gt; form.  Could be
    \&#37;&lt;C-M&gt;.
8   Add an argument after &quot;:s/pat/str/&quot; for a range of matches.  For example,
    &quot;:s/pat/str/#3-4&quot; to replace only the third and fourth &quot;pat&quot; in a line.
8   When <A HREF="options.html#'iskeyword'">'iskeyword'</A> is changed the matches from <A HREF="options.html#'hlsearch'">'hlsearch'</A> may change. (Benji
    Fisher)  redraw if some <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> are set while <A HREF="options.html#'hlsearch'">'hlsearch'</A> is set?
8   Add an option not to use <A HREF="options.html#'hlsearch'">'hlsearch'</A> highlighting for &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:s">:s</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#:g">:g</A>&quot;
    commands. (Kahn)  It would work like &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#:noh">:noh</A>&quot; is used after that command.
    Also: An extra flag to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this once, and a flag to keep the existing
    search <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>.
-   Make <A HREF="options.html#'hlsearch'">'hlsearch'</A> a local/global option, so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can be disabled in some
    of the <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>.
-   Add \&#37;h{group-name}; to search for a specific highlight group.
    Add \&#37;s{syntax-group}; to search for a specific <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> group.
-   Support <A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A>.  Use PCRE (Perl Compatible RE) package. (Shade)
    Or translate the <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> to a Vim one.
    Don't switch on with an option for typed commands/mappings/functions, it's
    too confusing.  Use &quot;\@@&quot; in the <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>, to avoid incompatibilities.
8   Add a way to access the last substitute text, what is used for &quot;:s//~/&quot;.
    Can't use the ~ <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A>, it's already used for drag <A HREF="change.html#&amp;">&amp;</A> drop.
-   Remember flags for backreferenced items, so that &quot;*&quot; can be used after <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
    Check with &quot;\(\S\)\1\{3}&quot;. (Hemmerling)
8   Flags that apply to the whole <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>.
    This works for all places where a <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> is used.
    Add &quot;\q&quot; to not store this <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> the last search <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>?
-   Add flags to search command (also for &quot;:s&quot;?):
    <A HREF="insert.html#i">i</A>	ignore <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A>
    I	use <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A>
    <A HREF="change.html#p">p</A>	use <A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> (or POSIX?)
    <A HREF="visual.html#v">v</A>	use <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A>
    <A HREF="motion.html#f">f</A>	forget <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>, don't keep <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> for &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#n">n</A>&quot; command
    <A HREF="motion.html#F">F</A>   remember <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>, keep <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> for &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#n">n</A>&quot; command
    <A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> uses these too:
    <A HREF="motion.html#e">e</A>	evaluate the right side <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> an <A HREF="eval.html#expression">expression</A> (Perl only)
    <A HREF="motion.html#m">m</A>	multiple line <A HREF="eval.html#expression">expression</A> (we don't need <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>)
    <A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>	compile only once (Perl only)
    <A HREF="change.html#s">s</A>	single line <A HREF="eval.html#expression">expression</A> (we don't need <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>)
    <A HREF="change.html#x">x</A>	extended <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> (we don't need <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>)
    When used after &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#:g">:g</A>&quot; command, <A HREF="intro.html#backslash">backslash</A> needed to avoid confusion with the
    following command.
    Add 'searchflags' for default flags (replaces <A HREF="options.html#'gdefault'">'gdefault'</A>).
-   Add command to display the last used substitute <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> and last used
    <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>. (Margo)  Maybe make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> accessible through a <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> (like &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#/">/</A>
    for search string)?
7   Use T-search algorithm, to speed up searching for strings without special
    characters.  See C't article, August 1997.
-   Add 'fuzzycase' option, so that <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> doesn't matter, and '<A HREF="motion.html#-">-</A>' and '<A HREF="motion.html#_">_</A>' are
    equivalent (for <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A> filenames).
-   Add '<A HREF="visual.html#v">v</A>' flag to search command: enter <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode, with the matching text
    <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> area. (variation on idea from Bertin)
-   Searching: &quot;/this//that/&quot; should find &quot;that&quot; after &quot;this&quot;.
-   Add global search commands: Instead of wrapping at the end of the buffer,
    they continue in another buffer.  Use flag after search <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>:
    a	for the next file in the argument <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>
    <A HREF="motion.html#f">f</A>	for file in the buffer <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>
    <A HREF="motion.html#w">w</A>	for file edited in a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
    e.g. &quot;/pat/f&quot;.  Then &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#n">n</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#N">N</A>&quot; work through files too.  &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#f">f</A>&quot; flag also for
    &quot;:s/pat/foo/f&quot;???  Then when <A HREF="options.html#'autowrite'">'autowrite'</A> and <A HREF="options.html#'hidden'">'hidden'</A> are both not set, ask
    before saving files: &quot;Save modified buffer &quot;/path/file&quot;? (Yes/Hide/No
    Save-all/hide-All/Quit) &quot;.
-   &quot;:s/pat/foo/3&quot;: find 3rd match of &quot;pat&quot;, like sed. (Thomas Koehler)
7   When searching with '<A HREF="pattern.html#n">n</A>' give message when getting back where the search
    first started.  Remember start of search in '/ <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A>.
7   Add option that scrolls screen to put cursor in middle of screen after
    search always/when off-screen/never.  And after a &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tag">:tag</A>&quot; command.  Maybe
    specify how many lines below the screen causes a redraw with the cursor in
    the middle (default would be half a screen, zero means always).
6   Support multiple search <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A>, so macros can be made without side
    effects.
7   From xvim: Allow a newline in search patterns (also for <A HREF="change.html#:s">:s</A>, can delete
    newline).  Add BOW, EOW, NEWL, NLORANY, NLBUTANY, magic '<A HREF="pattern.html#n">n</A>' and '<A HREF="change.html#r">r</A>', etc.
    [not in xvim:] Add option to switch on matches crossing ONE line boundary.
7   Add &quot;:iselect&quot;, a combination of &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:ilist">:ilist</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tselect">:tselect</A>&quot;. (Aaron) (Zellner)
    Also &quot;:dselect&quot;.


Undo:
9   &quot;:gundo&quot; command: global <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A>.  Undoes changes spread over multiple files
    in the order they were made.  Also &quot;:gredo&quot;.  Both with a <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A>.  Useful
    when tests fail after making changes and you forgot in which files.
9   After undo/redo, in the message show whether the buffer is modified or
    not.
8   Search for <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> in <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> tree, showing when <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> happened and the text
    state, so that you can jump to <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
8   Undo tree: visually show the tree somehow (Damian Conway)
    Show only the leaves, indicating how many changed from the branch and the
    <A HREF="editing.html#timestamp">timestamp</A>?
    Put branch with most recent change on the left, older changes get more
    indent?
-   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> all the commands from a <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>, including a
    trailing unfinished command, e.g. for &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A> <A HREF="various.html#K">K</A> iX^[r&quot;.
-   When accidentally hitting &quot;<A HREF="change.html#R">R</A>&quot; instead of Ctrl-R, further Ctrl-R is not
    possible, even when typing <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Esc&gt;">&lt;Esc&gt;</A> immediately. (Grahn)  Also for &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#i">i</A>&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#a">a</A>&quot;,
    etc.  Postpone saving for <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> until something is really inserted?
8   When Inserting a lot of text, <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can only be undone <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a whole.  Make <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A>
    sync points at every line or <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A>.  Could recognize the start of a new
    <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> (white space and then non-white space) and backspacing.
    Can already use <A HREF="editing.html#CTRL-G">CTRL-G</A> <A HREF="undo.html#u">u</A>, but that requires remapping a lot of things.
8   Make <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> more memory-efficient: Compare text before and after change,
    only remember the lines that really changed.
7   Add <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> for a range of lines.  Can change these back to a previous
    version without <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> the rest of the file.  Stop doing this when a
    change includes only some of these lines and changes the line <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A>.  Need
    to store these <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> actions <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a separate change that can be undone.
-   For u_save() include the column number. This can be used to set <A HREF="motion.html#'[">'[</A> and <A HREF="motion.html#']">']</A>.
    And in the future the <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> can be made more efficient (Webb).
-   In out-of-memory situations: Free allocated space in <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A>, and reduce the
    number of <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> levels (with confirmation).
-   Instead of [+], give the number of changes since the last write: [+123].
    When undoing to before the last write, change this to a negative number:
    [-99].
-   With <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> with simple line delete/insert: optimize screen updating.
-   When executing macro's: Save each line for <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> only once.
-   When doing a global substitute, causing almost all lines to be changed,
    <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> info becomes very big.  Put <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> info in swap file??


Buffer <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>:
7   Command to execute a command in another buffer: &quot;:inbuf {bufname} {cmd}&quot;.
    Also for other <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>: &quot;:inwin {winnr} {cmd}&quot;.  How to make sure that
    this works properly for all commands, and still be able to return to the
    current buffer/window?  E.g.: &quot;:inbuf xxx only&quot;.
8   Add File.{recent_files} menu entries: Recently edited files.
    Ron Aaron has a <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> for this: mru.vim.
8   <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A>: Check all uses of fnamecmp() and fnamencmp() if they should check
    inode too.
7   Add another number for a buffer, which is visible for the user.  When
    creating a new buffer, use the lowest number not in use (or the highest
    number in use plus one?).
7   Offer some buffer selection from the command line?  Like using &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:ls">:ls</A>&quot; and
    asking for a buffer number. (Zachmann)
-   When starting to edit a file that is already in the buffer <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>, use the
    file name argument for the new short file name. (Webb)
-   Add an option to make &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:bnext">:bnext</A>&quot; and &quot;:bprev&quot; wrap around the end of the
    buffer <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>.  Also for &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:next">:next</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:prev">:prev</A>&quot;?
7   Add argument to &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:ls">:ls</A>&quot; which is a <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> for <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A> to <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>.
    E.g. &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:ls">:ls</A> *.c&quot;. (Thompson)
7   Add expansion of buffer names, so that &quot;*.c&quot; is expanded to all buffer
    names.  Needed for &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:bdel">:bdel</A> *.c&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:bunload">:bunload</A> *.c&quot;, etc.
8   Support for <A HREF="cmdline.html#&lt;afile&gt;">&lt;afile&gt;</A> where a buffer name is expected.
7   Add an option to mostly use slashes in file names.  Separately for
    internal use and for when executing an external program?
8   Some file systems are case-sensitive, some are not.  Besides
    <A HREF="options.html#'wildignorecase'">'wildignorecase'</A> there might be more parts inside
    CASE_INSENSITIVE_FILENAME that are useful on <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A>.


Swap (.swp) files:
8   If <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> to the swap file fails, should try to open one in another
    directory from <A HREF="options.html#'dir'">'dir'</A>.  Useful in <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> the file system is full and when
    there are short file name problems.
8   Also use the code to try using a short file name for the <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> and swap
    file for the <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A> and Dos 32 bit versions.
8   When a file is edited by root, add $LOGNAME to know who did su.
8   When the edited file is a symlink, try to put the swap file in the same
    dir <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> the actual file.  Adjust FullName().  Avoids editing the same file
    <A HREF="if_cscop.html#twice">twice</A> (e.g. when using <A HREF="quickfix.html#quickfix">quickfix</A>).  Also try to make the name of the <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A>
    file the same <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> the actual file?
    Use the code for <A HREF="eval.html#resolve()">resolve()</A>?
7   When using 64 bit inode numbers, also store the top 32 bits.  Add another
    field for this, using part of bo_fname[], to keep <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> compatible.
7   When editing a file on removable media, should put swap file somewhere
    else.  Use something like '<A HREF="change.html#r">r</A>' flag in <A HREF="options.html#'viminfo'">'viminfo'</A>.  'diravoid'?
    Also: Be able to specify minimum disk space, skip directory when not
    enough room.
7   Add a configure check for which directory should be used: /tmp, /var/tmp
    or /var/preserve.
-   Add an option to create a swap file only when making the first change to
    the buffer.  (Liang)  Or only when the buffer is not read-only.
-   Add option to set &quot;umask&quot; for <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> files and swap files (Antwerpen).
    'backupumask' and 'swapumask'?  Or 'umaskbackup' and 'umaskswap'?
-   When editing a readonly file, don't use a swap file but read parts from the
    original file.  Also <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this when the file is huge (&gt;'maxmem').  We <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A>
    need to load the file once to <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> the number of lines?  Perhaps keep a
    cached <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of which line is where.


Viminfo:
7   Can probably remove the code that checks for a writable <A HREF="starting.html#viminfo">viminfo</A> file,
    because we now <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> the chown() for root, and others can't overwrite someone
    else's <A HREF="starting.html#viminfo">viminfo</A> file.
8   When there is no .viminfo file and someone does &quot;su&quot;, runs Vim, a
    root-owned .viminfo file is created.  Is there a good way to avoid this?
    Perhaps check the owner of the directory.  Only when root?
8   Add argument to keep the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A> when Vim is started with a file
    name. (Schild)
8   Keep the last used directory of the file browser (File/Open menu).
8   Remember the last used <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> for &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#@@">@@</A>&quot;.
8   Remember the <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> buffer, so that &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; works after restarting.
8   Remember a <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of last accessed files.  To be used in the
    &quot;File.Open Recent&quot; menu.  Default is to remember 10 files or so.
    Also remember which files have been read and written.  How to display
    this?
7   Also store the &quot;. <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> (last inserted text).
7   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to store buffer names in <A HREF="starting.html#viminfo">viminfo</A> file relative to some
    directory, to make them portable over a <A HREF="pi_netrw.html#network">network</A>. (Aaron)
6   Store a snapshot of the currently opened <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>.  So that when quitting
    Vim, and then starting again (without a file name argument), you see the
    same files in the <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>.  Use &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#:mksession">:mksession</A>&quot; code?
-   Make marks present in .viminfo usable <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> file marks: Display a <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of
    &quot;last visited files&quot; and select one to jump to.


Modelines:
8   Before trying to execute a <A HREF="options.html#modeline">modeline</A>, check that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> looks like one (valid
    option names).  If it's very wrong, silently ignore <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
    Ignore a line that starts with &quot;Subject: &quot;.
-   Add an option to whitelist <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> that are allowed in a <A HREF="options.html#modeline">modeline</A>.  This
    would allow careful users to use modelines, e.g., only allowing
    <A HREF="options.html#'shiftwidth'">'shiftwidth'</A>.
-   Add an option to let modelines only set local <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>, not global ones
    such <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> <A HREF="options.html#'encoding'">'encoding'</A>.
-   When an option value is coming from a <A HREF="options.html#modeline">modeline</A>, <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> not carry <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> over to
    another edited file?  Would need to remember the value from before the
    <A HREF="options.html#modeline">modeline</A> setting.
-   Allow setting a variable from a <A HREF="options.html#modeline">modeline</A>?  Only allow using fixed strings,
    no function calls, to avoid a security problem.
-   Allow &quot;:doauto <A HREF="autocmd.html#BufRead">BufRead</A> x.cpp&quot; in modelines, to execute autocommands for
    .cpp files.
-   Support the &quot;abbreviate&quot; command in modelines (Kearns).  Careful for
    characters after <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Esc&gt;">&lt;Esc&gt;</A>, that is a security leak.
-   Add option setting to ask user if he wants to have the modelines executed
    or not.  Same for <A HREF="starting.html#.exrc">.exrc</A> in local dir.


Sessions:
8   DOS/Windows: &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#:mksession">:mksession</A>&quot; generates a &quot;cd&quot; command where &quot;aa\#bb&quot; means
    directory &quot;#bb&quot; in &quot;aa&quot;, but it's used <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> &quot;aa#bb&quot;. (Ronald Hoellwarth)
7   When there is a &quot;<A HREF="help.html#help.txt">help.txt</A>&quot; <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> in a session file, restoring that
    session will not get the &quot;LOCAL ADDITIONS&quot; back.
8   With &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#:mksession">:mksession</A>&quot; always store the <A HREF="options.html#'sessionoptions'">'sessionoptions'</A> option, even when
    &quot;<A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>&quot; isn't in <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>. (St-Amant)
8   When using &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#:mksession">:mksession</A>&quot;, also store a command to reset all <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> to
    their default value, before setting the <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> that are not at their
    default value.
7   With &quot;<A HREF="starting.html#:mksession">:mksession</A>&quot; also store the <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> stack and jump <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A>. (Michal
    Malecki)
7   Persistent <A HREF="eval.html#variables">variables</A>: &quot;p:var&quot;; stored in <A HREF="starting.html#viminfo">viminfo</A> file and sessions files.


Options:
7   &quot;:with option=value &#124; command&quot;: temporarily set an option value and
    restore <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> after the command has executed.
8   Make &quot;old&quot; number <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> that really give a number of effects into <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>
    <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> that are a comma separated <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>.  The old number values should
    also be supported.
8   Add commands to save and restore an option, which also preserves the flag
    that marks if the option was set.  Useful to keep the effect of setting
    <A HREF="options.html#'compatible'">'compatible'</A> after &quot;<A HREF="syntax.html#:syntax">:syntax</A> on&quot; has been used.
7   There is <A HREF="options.html#'titleold'">'titleold'</A>, why is there no 'iconold'? (Chazelas)
7   Make <A HREF="options.html#'scrolloff'">'scrolloff'</A> a <A HREF="options.html#global-local">global-local</A> option, so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can be different in the
    <A HREF="quickfix.html#quickfix">quickfix</A> <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, for example. (Gary Holloway)
    Also <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="options.html#'sidescrolloff'">'sidescrolloff'</A>.


External commands:
8   When filtering text, redirect stderr so that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> can't mess up the screen
    and Vim doesn't need to redraw <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  Also for &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#:r">:r</A> !cmd&quot;.
4   Set separate shell for &quot;<A HREF="various.html#:sh">:sh</A>&quot;, piping &quot;range!filter&quot;, reading text &quot;<A HREF="change.html#r">r</A> !ls&quot;
    and <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> text &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#w">w</A> !wc&quot;. (Deutsche)  Allow arguments for fast start (e.g.
    <A HREF="starting.html#-f">-f</A>).
4   Allow direct execution, without using a shell.
4   Run an external command in the background.  But how about I/O in the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A>?
    Careful: don't turn Vim into a shell!
4   Add feature to disable using a shell or external commands.


Multiple Windows:
7   &quot;vim -oO file ...&quot; use both horizontal and vertical splits.
8   Add <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> <A HREF="motion.html#T">T</A>: go to the top <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> in the column of the current <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
    And <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> <A HREF="motion.html#B">B</A>: go to bottom <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
7   Use <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;Tab&gt;">&lt;Tab&gt;</A>, like alt-tab, to switch between <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A>.  Repeat <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;Tab&gt;">&lt;Tab&gt;</A>
    to select another buffer (only loaded ones?), <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;BS&gt;">&lt;BS&gt;</A> to go back, <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Enter&gt;">&lt;Enter&gt;</A> to
    select buffer, <A HREF="intro.html#&lt;Esc&gt;">&lt;Esc&gt;</A> to go back to original buffer.
7   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to edit a new buffer in the preview <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.  A <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> can
    then fill <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> with something.  &quot;:popen&quot;?
7   Add a 'tool' <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>: behaves like a preview <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> but there can be
    several.  Don't <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> in only_one_window(). (Alexei Alexandrov)
6   Add an option to resize the shell when splitting and/or closing a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
    &quot;:vsp&quot; would make the shell wider by <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> many columns <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> needed for the new
    <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.  Specify a maximum size (or use the screen size).  &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:close">:close</A>&quot; would
    shrink the shell by <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> many columns <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> come available. (Demirel)
7   When starting Vim several times, instantiate a Vim server, that allows
    communication between the different Vims.  Feels like one Vim running with
    multiple top-level <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>.  Esp. useful when Vim is started from an IDE
    too.  Requires some form of inter process communication.
-   Support a connection to an external viewer.  Could call the viewer
    automatically after some seconds of non-activity, or with a command.
    Allow some way of reporting <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A> and cursor positioning in the viewer
    to Vim, so that the link between the viewed and edited text can be made.


Marks:
8   Add ten marks for last changed files: ':0, ':1, etc.  One <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> per file.
8   When cursor is first moved because of <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A>, set a <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> at this
    position.  (Rimon Barr)  Use '-.
8   Add a command to jump to a <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> and make the motion <A HREF="motion.html#inclusive">inclusive</A>.  g'm and g`m?
8   The &#39;&#34;' <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> is set to the first line, even when doing &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:next">:next</A>&quot; a few times.
    Only set the &#39;&#34;' <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> when the cursor was really moved in a file.
8   Make <A HREF="motion.html#``">``</A> and <A HREF="motion.html#''">''</A>, which would position the new cursor position in the middle
    of the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, restore the old topline (or relative position) from when
    the <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> was set.
7   Make a <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of file marks in a separate <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.  For listing all <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A>,
    matching <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tags">tags</A>, <A HREF="message.html#errors">errors</A>, etc.  <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> commands to move around.  Add commands
    to jump to the <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> (in current <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> or new <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>).  Start <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> with
    &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:browse">:browse</A> marks&quot;?
6   Add a menu that lists the Marks like &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#:marks">:marks</A>&quot;. (Amerige)
7   For &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#:jumps">:jumps</A>&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:tags">:tags</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#:marks">:marks</A>&quot;, for not loaded <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A>, remember the
    text at the <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A>.  Highlight the column with the <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A>.
7   Highlight each <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> in some way (With &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#Mark">Mark</A>&quot; highlight group).
    Or display marks in a separate column, like <A HREF="options.html#'number'">'number'</A> does.
7   Use d&quot;m to delete rectangular area from cursor to <A HREF="motion.html#mark">mark</A> <A HREF="motion.html#m">m</A> (like Vile's \m
    command).
7   Try to keep marks in the same position when:
    - <A HREF="change.html#replacing">replacing</A> with a line break, like in &quot;:s/pat/^M/&quot;, move marks after the
      line break column to the next line. (Acevedo)
    - inserting/deleting characters in a line.
5   Include marks for start/end of the current <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> and section.  Useful in
    mappings.
6   Add &quot;unnamed mark&quot; feature: Like marks for the &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#:g">:g</A>&quot; command, but place and
    unplace them with commands before doing something with the lines.
    Highlight the marked lines somehow.


<A HREF="digraph.html#Digraphs">Digraphs</A>:
7   Make &quot;<A HREF="various.html#ga">ga</A>&quot; show the keymap for a character, if <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> exists.
    Also show the code of the character after conversion to <A HREF="options.html#'fileencoding'">'fileencoding'</A>.
-   Use <A HREF="digraph.html#digraph">digraph</A> table to tell Vim about the collating sequence of special
    characters?
8   Add command to remove one or more (all) <A HREF="digraph.html#digraphs">digraphs</A>. (Brown)
7   Support different sets of <A HREF="digraph.html#digraphs">digraphs</A> (depending on the character set?).  At
    least Latin1/Unicode, Latin-2, <A HREF="os_msdos.html#MS-DOS">MS-DOS</A> (esp. for <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>).


Writing files:
-   In vim_rename(), should lock &quot;from&quot; file when <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A> &quot;to&quot; file for
    systems other than <A HREF="os_amiga.html#Amiga">Amiga</A>.  Avoids problems with unexpected longname to
    shortname conversion.
8   write mch_isdevice() for <A HREF="os_amiga.html#Amiga">Amiga</A>, <A HREF="os_mac.html#Mac">Mac</A>, <A HREF="os_vms.html#VMS">VMS</A>, etc.
8   When appending to a file, Vim should also make a <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> and a <A HREF="options.html#'patchmode'">'patchmode'</A>
    file.
8   <A HREF="options.html#'backupskip'">'backupskip'</A> doesn't write a <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> file at all, a bit dangerous for some
    applications.  Add 'backupelsewhere' to write a <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> file in another
    directory?  Or add a flag to <A HREF="options.html#'backupdir'">'backupdir'</A>?
6   Add an option to write a new, numbered, <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> file each time.  Like
    <A HREF="options.html#'patchmode'">'patchmode'</A>, e.g., 'backupmode'.
6   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to write <A HREF="options.html#'patchmode'">'patchmode'</A> files to a different directory.
    E.g., &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="options.html#'patchmode'">patchmode</A>=~/backups/*.orig&quot;. (Thomas)
6   Add an option to prepend something to the <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> file name.  E.g., &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html##">#</A>&quot;.
    Or maybe allow a function to modify the <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> file name?
8   Only make a <A HREF="editing.html#backup">backup</A> when overwriting a file for the first time.  Avoids
    losing the original when <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> <A HREF="if_cscop.html#twice">twice</A>. (Slootman)
7   On non-Unix machines, also overwrite the original file in some situations
    (file system full, it's a link on an NFS partition).
7   When editing a file, check that <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> has been change outside of Vim more
    often, not only when <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> over <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  E.g., at the time the swap file is
    flushed.  Or every ten seconds or so (use the time of day, check <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> before
    waiting for a character to be typed).
8   When a file was changed since editing started, show this in the status
    line of the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, like &quot;[time]&quot;.
    Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> easier to <A HREF="editing.html#reload">reload</A> all outdated files that don't have changes.
    Automatic and/or with a command.


Substitute:
8   Substitute with hex/unicode number &quot;\&#37;xff&quot; and &quot;\&#37;uabcd&quot;.  Just like
    &quot;\&#37;uabcd&quot; in search <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>.
8   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> easier to replace in all files in the argument <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>.  E.g.:
    &quot;:argsub/oldword/newword/&quot;.  Works like &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:argdo">:argdo</A> &#37;s/oldword/newword/g|w&quot;.
-   :s///p prints the line after a substitution.
-   With :s///c replace \&amp;, ~, etc. when showing the replacement <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>.
8   With :s///c allow <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A> horizontally when <A HREF="options.html#'nowrap'">'nowrap'</A> is effective.
    Also allow a <A HREF="intro.html#count">count</A> before the <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A> keys.
-   Add number option to &quot;:s//2&quot;: replace second occurrence of <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>?  Or:
    :s///N substitutes N times.
-   Add answers to &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:substitute">:substitute</A>&quot; with '<A HREF="change.html#c">c</A>' flag, used in a &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#:global">:global</A>&quot;, e.g.:
    &quot;:g/pat1/s/pat2/pat3/cg&quot;: '<A HREF="insert.html#A">A</A>' <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> all remaining replacements, '<A HREF="intro.html#Q">Q</A>' don't <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A>
    any replacements, '<A HREF="undo.html#u">u</A>' <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> last substitution.
7   Substitute in a block of text.  Use {line}.{column} <A HREF="intro.html#notation">notation</A> in an <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A>
    range, e.g.: &quot;:1.3,$.5s&quot; means to substitute from line 1 column 3 to the
    last line column 5.
5   Add commands to <A HREF="usr_03.html#bookmark">bookmark</A> lines, display bookmarks, remove bookmarks,
    operate on lines with bookmarks, etc.  Like &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#:global">:global</A>&quot; but with the
    possibility to keep the bookmarks and use them with several commands.
    (Stanislav Sitar)


Mouse support:
8   Add '<A HREF="insert.html#o">o</A>' flag to <A HREF="options.html#'mouse'">'mouse'</A>?
7   Be able to set a <A HREF="options.html#'mouseshape'">'mouseshape'</A> for the popup menu.
8   Add <A HREF="options.html#'mouse'">'mouse'</A> flag, which sets a behavior like <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode, but automatic
    yanking at the button-up event.  Or like <A HREF="visual.html#Select">Select</A> mode, but typing gets you
    out of <A HREF="visual.html#Select">Select</A> mode, instead of <A HREF="change.html#replacing">replacing</A> the text. (Bhaskar)
-   Implement mouse support for the <A HREF="os_amiga.html#Amiga">Amiga</A> console.
-   Using right mouse button to extend a blockwise selection should attach to
    the nearest corner of the rectangle (four possible corners).
-   Precede mouse click by a number to simulate double clicks?!?
-   When mouse click after '<A HREF="change.html#r">r</A>' command, get character that was pointed to.


Argument <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>:
6   Add command to put all filenames from the <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> files in the argument <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>.
    When given an argument, only use the files where that argument matches
    (like `grep <A HREF="starting.html#-l">-l</A> ident`) and jump to the first match.
6   Add command to form an args <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> from all the <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A>?


Registers:
8   Don't display empty <A HREF="change.html#registers">registers</A> with &quot;<A HREF="change.html#:display">:display</A>&quot;. (Etienne)
8   Add put command that overwrites existing text.  Should also work for
    blocks.  Useful to move text around in a table.  Works like using &quot;<A HREF="change.html#R">R</A> ^R r&quot;
    for every line.
6   When yanking into the unnamed <A HREF="change.html#registers">registers</A> several times, somehow make the
    previous contents also available (like it's done for <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A>).  What
    <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> names to use?  g&quot;1, g&quot;2, etc.?
-   When appending to a <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A>, also report the total resulting number of
    lines.  Or just say &quot;99 more lines yanked&quot;, add the &quot;more&quot;.
-   When <A HREF="insert.html#inserting">inserting</A> a <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> in <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> mode with <A HREF="undo.html#CTRL-R">CTRL-R</A>, don't insert comment
    leader when line wraps?
-   The &quot;:@r&quot; commands should take a range and execute the <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A> for each
    line in the range.
-   Add &quot;<A HREF="change.html#P">P</A>&quot; command to insert contents of unnamed <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A>, move selected text
	to position of previous deleted (to swap foo and <A HREF="motion.html#bar">bar</A> in &quot; + foo&quot;)
8   Should be able to <A HREF="change.html#yank">yank</A> and delete into the &quot;<A HREF="pattern.html#/">/</A> <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A>.
    How to take care of the flags (offset, magic)?


Debug mode:
8   Add breakpoints for setting an option
8   Add breakpoints for assigning to a variable.
7   Store the <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A> from debug mode in <A HREF="starting.html#viminfo">viminfo</A>.
7   Make the debug mode <A HREF="cmdline.html#history">history</A> available with <A HREF="eval.html#histget()">histget()</A> et al.


Various improvements:
7   Add plugins for <A HREF="change.html#formatting">formatting</A>?  Should be able to make a choice depending on
    the language of a file (English/Korean/Japanese/etc.).
    Setting the 'langformat' option to &quot;chinese&quot; would load the
    &quot;format/chinese.vim&quot; <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A>.
    The <A HREF="usr_05.html#plugin">plugin</A> would set <A HREF="options.html#'formatexpr'">'formatexpr'</A> and define the function being called.
    Edward <A HREF="motion.html#L">L</A>. Fox explains how <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> should be done for most Asian languages.
    (2005 Nov 24)
    Alternative: patch for <A HREF="mbyte.html#utf-8">utf-8</A> line breaking. (Yongwei Wu, 2008 Feb 23)
7   [t to move to previous xml/html <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> (like &quot;vatov&quot;), ]t to move to next
    (&quot;vatv&quot;).
7   [&lt; to move to previous xml/html <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A>, e.g., previous &lt;li&gt;. ]&lt; to move to
    next &lt;li&gt;, ]&lt; to next &lt;/li&gt;, [&lt; to previous &lt;/li&gt;.
8   Add &quot;:rename&quot; command: rename the file of the current buffer and rename
    the buffer.  Buffer may be modified.
7   Instead of filtering <A HREF="message.html#errors">errors</A> with a shell <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> should be possible to
    <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this with Vim <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A>.  A function that filters the raw text that comes
    from the <A HREF="options.html#'makeprg'">'makeprg'</A>?
-   Add &#37;b to <A HREF="options.html#'errorformat'">'errorformat'</A>: buffer number. (Yegappan Lakshmanan / Suresh
    Govindachar)
7   Add a command that goes back to the position from before jumping to the
    first <A HREF="quickfix.html#quickfix">quickfix</A> location.  &quot;:cbefore&quot;?
7   Allow a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> not to have a statusline.  Makes <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to use a
    <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> a buffer-tab selection.
8   Allow non-active <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> to have a different statusline. (Yakov Lerner)
7   Add an invisible buffer which can be edited.  For use in scripts that want
    to manipulate text without <A HREF="change.html#changing">changing</A> the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> layout.
8   Add a command to revert to the saved version of file; <A HREF="undo.html#undo">undo</A> or <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> until
    all changes are gone.
6   &quot;vim <A HREF="starting.html#-q">-q</A> -&quot; should read the <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of <A HREF="message.html#errors">errors</A> from stdin. (Gautam Mudunuri)
8   Add &quot;--remote-fail&quot;: When contacting the server fails, exit Vim.
    Add &quot;--remote-self&quot;: When contacting the server fails, <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> in this Vim.
    Overrules the default of &quot;<A HREF="remote.html#--remote-send">--remote-send</A>&quot; to fail and &quot;<A HREF="remote.html#--remote">--remote</A>&quot; to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    in this Vim.
8   When Vim was started without a server, make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to start one, <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A>
    if the &quot;<A HREF="remote.html#--servername">--servername</A>&quot; argument was given.  &quot;:startserver &lt;name&gt;&quot;?
8   No address range can be used before the command modifiers.  This makes
    them difficult to use in a menu for <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode.  Accept the range and
    have <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> apply to the following command.
8   Add the possibility to set <A HREF="options.html#'fileformats'">'fileformats'</A> to force a format and strip other
    CR characters.  For example, for &quot;<A HREF="os_dos.html#dos">dos</A>&quot; files remove CR characters at the
    end of the line, so that a file with mixed line endings is cleaned up.
    To just not display the CR characters: Add a flag to <A HREF="options.html#'display'">'display'</A>?
7   Some compilers give error <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> in which the file name does not have a
    path.  Be able to specify that <A HREF="options.html#'path'">'path'</A> is used for these files.
7   Xterm sends &lt;Esc&gt;O3F for &lt;M-End&gt;.  Similarly for other &lt;M-Home&gt;, &lt;M-Left&gt;,
    etc.  Combinations of Alt, Ctrl and Shift are also possible.  Recognize
    these to avoid <A HREF="insert.html#inserting">inserting</A> the raw byte sequence, handle like the key
    without modifier (unless mapped).
6   Add &quot;gG&quot;: like what &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#gj">gj</A>&quot; is to &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#j">j</A>&quot;: go to the N'th <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> line.
8   Add command like &quot;<A HREF="various.html#:normal">:normal</A>&quot; that accepts &lt;Key&gt; <A HREF="intro.html#notation">notation</A> like &quot;<A HREF="map.html#:map">:map</A>&quot;.
9   Support ACLs on more systems.
7   Add ModeMsgVisual, ModeMsgInsert, etc. so that each mode message can be
    highlighted differently.
7   Add a message area for the user.  Set some option to reserve space (above
    the command line?).  Use an &quot;:echouser&quot; command to display the message
    (truncated to fit in the space).
7   Add &#37;s to <A HREF="options.html#'keywordprg'">'keywordprg'</A>: replace with <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> under the cursor. (Zellner)
8   Support <A HREF="print.html#printing">printing</A> on <A HREF="os_unix.html#Unix">Unix</A>.  Can use &quot;lpansi.c&quot; <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> an example. (Bookout)
8   Add put command that replaces the text under <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  Esp. for blockwise
    <A HREF="visual.html#Visual">Visual</A> mode.
7   Enhance termresponse stuff: Add t_CV(?): <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A> of term response, use
    <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A>: &quot;\e\[[&gt;?][0-9;]*c&quot;, but only check just after sending <A HREF="term.html#t_RV">t_RV</A>.
7   Add &quot;g|&quot; command: move to N'th column from the left margin (after wrapping
    and applying 'leftcol').  Works <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> &quot;|&quot; like what &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#g0">g0</A>&quot; is to &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#0">0</A>&quot;.
7   Support setting <A HREF="options.html#'equalprg'">'equalprg'</A> to a user function name.
7   Highlight the characters after the end-of-line differently.
7   When <A HREF="options.html#'whichwrap'">'whichwrap'</A> contains &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#l">l</A>&quot;, &quot;$dl&quot; should join lines?
8   Add an argument to configure to use $CFLAGS and not modify <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>? (Mooney)
8   Enabling features is a mix of configure arguments and defines in
    feature.h.  How to make this consistent?  Feature.h is required for
    non-unix systems.  Perhaps let configure define CONF_XXX, and use #ifdef
    CONF_XXX in feature.h?  Then what should min-features and max-features <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A>?
8   Add &quot;g^E&quot; and &quot;g^Y&quot;, to scroll a screen-full line up and down.
8   Add &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:confirm">:confirm</A>&quot; handling in open_exfile(), for when file already exists.
8   When quitting with changed files, make the <A HREF="gui_w32.html#dialog">dialog</A> <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> the changed file
    and allow &quot;write all&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#discard">discard</A> all&quot;, &quot;write some&quot;.  The last one would
    then ask &quot;write&quot; or &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#discard">discard</A>&quot; for each changed file.  Patch in HierAssist
    does something like this. (Shah)
7   Use growarray for replace stack.
7   Have a look at viH (Hellenic or Greek version of Vim).  But a solution
    outside of Vim might be satisfactory (Haritsis).
3   Make &quot;2d&#37;&quot; work like &quot;d&#37;d&#37;&quot; instead of &quot;d2&#37;&quot;?
7   &quot;g CTRL-O&quot; jumps back to last used buffer.	Skip <A HREF="motion.html#CTRL-O">CTRL-O</A> jumps in the same
    buffer.  Make <A HREF="motion.html#jumplist">jumplist</A> remember the last ten accessed <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A>?
7   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to set the size of the <A HREF="motion.html#jumplist">jumplist</A> (also to a smaller number
    than the default). (Nikolai Weibull)
-   Add code to disable the CAPS key when going from <A HREF="insert.html#Insert">Insert</A> to <A HREF="intro.html#Normal">Normal</A> mode.
-   Set date/protection/etc. of the patchfile the same <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> the original file.
-   Use growarray for termcodes[] in term.c
-   Add &lt;window-99&gt;, like &lt;cword&gt; but use filename of 99'th <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
7   Add a way to change an <A HREF="motion.html#operator">operator</A> to always work characterwise-inclusive
    (like &quot;<A HREF="visual.html#v">v</A>&quot; makes the <A HREF="motion.html#operator">operator</A> characterwise-exclusive).  &quot;<A HREF="change.html#x">x</A>&quot; could be used.
-   Make a set of operations on <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> of names: expand <A HREF="editing.html#wildcards">wildcards</A>, replace home
    dir, append a <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>, delete a <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>, etc.
-   Remove using mktemp() and use tmpname() only?  Ctags does this.
-   When <A HREF="change.html#replacing">replacing</A> environment <A HREF="eval.html#variables">variables</A>, and there is one that is not set,
    turn <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> into an empty <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>?  Only when expanding <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>? (Hiebert)
-   Option to set command to be executed instead of producing a beep (e.g. to
    call &quot;play newbeep.au&quot;).
-   Add option to show the current function name in the status line.  More or
    <A HREF="various.html#less">less</A> what you find with &quot;[[k&quot;, like how <A HREF="options.html#'cindent'">'cindent'</A> recognizes a function.
    (Bhatt).
-   &quot;[r&quot; and &quot;]r&quot;: like &quot;<A HREF="change.html#p">p</A>&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="change.html#P">P</A>&quot;, but replace instead of insert (esp. for
    blockwise <A HREF="change.html#registers">registers</A>).
-   Add 'timecheck' option, on by default.  Makes <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to switch off the
    <A HREF="editing.html#timestamp">timestamp</A> warning and question. (Dodt).
-   Add an option to set the time after which Vim should check the <A HREF="editing.html#timestamps">timestamps</A>
    of the files.  Only check when an event occurs (e.g., character typed,
    mouse moved).  Useful for non-GUI versions where keyboard focus isn't
    noticeable.
-   Make <A HREF="options.html#'smartcase'">'smartcase'</A> work even though <A HREF="options.html#'ic'">'ic'</A> isn't set (Webb).
7   When <A HREF="change.html#formatting">formatting</A> text, allow to break the line at a number of characters.
    Use an option for this: 'breakchars'?  Useful for <A HREF="change.html#formatting">formatting</A> Fortran code.
-   Add flag to <A HREF="options.html#'formatoptions'">'formatoptions'</A> to be able to format book-style paragraphs
    (first line of <A HREF="motion.html#paragraph">paragraph</A> has larger indent, no empty lines between
    paragraphs).  Complements the '2' flag.  Use '<A HREF="change.html#&gt;">&gt;</A>' flag when larger indent
    starts a new <A HREF="motion.html#paragraph">paragraph</A>, use '<A HREF="change.html#&lt;">&lt;</A>' flag when smaller indent starts a new
    <A HREF="motion.html#paragraph">paragraph</A>.	Both start a new <A HREF="motion.html#paragraph">paragraph</A> on any indent change.
8   The '<A HREF="insert.html#a">a</A>' flag in <A HREF="options.html#'formatoptions'">'formatoptions'</A> is too dangerous.  In some way only <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A>
    auto-formatting in specific regions, e.g. defined by <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> highlighting.
8   Allow using a trailing space to signal a <A HREF="motion.html#paragraph">paragraph</A> that continues on the
    next line (MIME text/plain; format=flowed, RFC 2646).  Can be used for
    continuous <A HREF="change.html#formatting">formatting</A>.  Could use '<A HREF="change.html#autoformat">autoformat</A>' option, which specifies a
    <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> which triggers auto-formatting (for one line).
    &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="change.html#autoformat">autoformat</A>=\\s$&quot;.
-   Be able to redefine where a <A HREF="motion.html#sentence">sentence</A> stops.  Use a <A HREF="pattern.html#regexp">regexp</A> <A HREF="pattern.html#pattern">pattern</A>?
-   Support <A HREF="mbyte.html#multi-byte">multi-byte</A> characters for sentences.  Example from Ben Peterson.
7   Add command &quot;g)&quot; to go to the end of a <A HREF="motion.html#sentence">sentence</A>, &quot;g(&quot; to go back to the
    end of a <A HREF="motion.html#sentence">sentence</A>. (Servatius Brandt)
-   Be able to redefine where a <A HREF="motion.html#paragraph">paragraph</A> starts.  For &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#[[">[[</A>&quot; where the '<A HREF="motion.html#{">{</A>' is
    not in column 1.
6   Add &quot;:cdprev&quot;: go back to the previous directory.  Need to remember a
    stack of previous directories.  We also need &quot;:cdnext&quot;.
7   Should &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:cd">:cd</A>&quot; for <A HREF="os_msdos.html#MS-DOS">MS-DOS</A> go to <A HREF="options.html#$HOME">$HOME</A>, when it's defined?
-   Make &quot;gq&lt;CR&gt;&quot; work on the last line in the file.  Maybe for every <A HREF="motion.html#operator">operator</A>?
-   Add more redirecting of <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> commands:
	<A HREF="various.html#:redir">:redir</A> #&gt;  bufname
	<A HREF="various.html#:redir">:redir</A> #&gt;&gt; bufname   (append)
-   Give error message when starting <A HREF="various.html#:redir">:redir</A>: <A HREF="if_cscop.html#twice">twice</A> or using END when no
    redirection was active.
-   Setting of <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>, specifically for a buffer or <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, with
    &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> window.option&quot; or &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> buffer.option=val&quot;.  Or use &quot;:buffer.set&quot;.
    Also: &quot;buffer.map <A HREF="helphelp.html#&lt;F1&gt;">&lt;F1&gt;</A> quit&quot;.
6   Would <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> be possible to change the color of the cursor in the <A HREF="os_win32.html#Win32">Win32</A>
    console?  (Klaus Hast)
-   Add <A HREF="#:delcr">:delcr</A> command:

			    *<A NAME=":delcr"></A><B>:delcr</B>*
     :[range]delcr[!]	Check <A HREF="cmdline.html#[range]">[range]</A> lines (default: whole buffer) for lines
			ending in <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;CR&gt;">&lt;CR&gt;</A>.  If all lines end in <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;CR&gt;">&lt;CR&gt;</A>, or [!] is
			used, remove the <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;CR&gt;">&lt;CR&gt;</A> at the end of lines in <A HREF="cmdline.html#[range]">[range]</A>.
			A <A HREF="starting.html#CTRL-Z">CTRL-Z</A> at the end of the file is removed.  If
			<A HREF="cmdline.html#[range]">[range]</A> is omitted, or <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is the whole file, and all
			lines end in <A HREF="motion.html#&lt;CR&gt;">&lt;CR&gt;</A> <A HREF="options.html#'textmode'">'textmode'</A> is set.  {not in Vi}
-   Should integrate addstar() and file_pat_to_reg_pat().
-   When working over a serial line with 7 bit characters, remove <A HREF="intro.html#meta">meta</A>
    characters from <A HREF="options.html#'isprint'">'isprint'</A>.
-   Use fchdir() in init_homedir(), like in FullName().
-   In win_update(), when the <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> is active, always use the <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A> area.
    Avoid that the last status line is deleted and needs to be redrawn.
-   That &quot;cTx&quot; fails when the cursor is just after '<A HREF="change.html#x">x</A>' is <A HREF="intro.html#Vi">Vi</A> compatible, but
    may not be what you expect.  Add a flag in <A HREF="options.html#'cpoptions'">'cpoptions'</A> for this?  More
    general: Add an option to allow &quot;<A HREF="change.html#c">c</A>&quot; to work with a null motion.
-   Give better error <A HREF="message.html#messages">messages</A> by using errno (strerror()).
-   Give &quot;Usage:&quot; error message when command used with wrong arguments (like
    <A HREF="intro.html#Nvi">Nvi</A>).
-   Make <A HREF="options.html#'restorescreen'">'restorescreen'</A> option also work for xterm (and others), replaces the
    SAVE_XTERM_SCREEN define.
7   Support for &quot;<A HREF="gui.html#:winpos">:winpos</A>&quot; In xterm: report the current <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> position.
-   Give warning message when using &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> t_xx=asdf&quot; for a <A HREF="term.html#termcap">termcap</A> code that
    Vim doesn't know about.  Add flag in <A HREF="options.html#'shortmess'">'shortmess'</A>?
6   Add &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#:che">:che</A> &lt;file&gt;&quot;, <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> all the include paths which lead to this file.
-   For a commandline that has several commands (:s, <A HREF="change.html#:d">:d</A>, etc.) summarize the
    changes all together instead of for each command (e.g. for the <A HREF="change.html#rot13">rot13</A>
    <A HREF="map.html#macro">macro</A>).
-   Add command like &quot;<A HREF="tagsrch.html#[I">[I</A>&quot; that also shows the tree of included files.
-   &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> sm^L&quot; results in &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="change.html#s">s</A>&quot; because short names of <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> are also
    expanded.  Is there a better way to <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this?
-   Add &quot;:@!&quot; command, to &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#:@">:@</A>&quot; like what &quot;:source!&quot; is to &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#:source">:source</A>&quot;.
8   Add &quot;:@:!&quot;: repeat last command with forceit set.
-   Add 't_normal': Used whenever <A HREF="term.html#t_me">t_me</A>, <A HREF="term.html#t_se">t_se</A>, <A HREF="term.html#t_ue">t_ue</A> or t_Zr is empty.
-   &quot;:cab map test ^V&#124; je&quot;, &quot;:cunab map&quot; doesn't work.	This is <A HREF="intro.html#vi">vi</A> compatible!
-   <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-E">CTRL-E</A> and <A HREF="index.html#CTRL-W">CTRL-W</A> <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-Y">CTRL-Y</A> should move the current <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> up or down
    if <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is not the first or last <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
-   Include-file-search commands should look in the loaded buffer of a file (if
    there is one) instead of the file itself.
7   Change <A HREF="options.html#'nrformats'">'nrformats'</A> to include the leader for each format.  Example:
	nrformats=hex:$,binary:b,octal:0
    Add setting of <A HREF="options.html#'nrformats'">'nrformats'</A> to <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> files.
-   <A HREF="options.html#'path'">'path'</A> can become very long, don't use NameBuff for expansion.
-   When unhiding a hidden buffer, put the same line at top of the <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A>
    the one before hiding <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  Or: keep the same relative cursor position (so
    many percent down the <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A>).
-   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible for the <A HREF="options.html#'showbreak'">'showbreak'</A> to be displayed at the end of the
    line.  Use a comma to separate the part at the end and the start of the
    line?  Highlight the linebreak characters, add flag in <A HREF="options.html#'highlight'">'highlight'</A>.
    Make <A HREF="options.html#'showbreak'">'showbreak'</A> local to a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
-   Some <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A> <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> should be expanded if they have <A HREF="editing.html#wildcards">wildcards</A>, e.g.
    <A HREF="options.html#'dictionary'">'dictionary'</A> when <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> is &quot;*.h&quot;.
-   Use a specific type for number and <A HREF="options.html#boolean">boolean</A> <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>, making <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to
    change <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> for specific machines (e.g. when a long is 64 bit).
-   Add option for <A HREF="insert.html#&lt;Insert&gt;">&lt;Insert&gt;</A> in replace mode going to normal mode. (Nugent)
-   Add a next/previous possibility to &quot;[^I&quot; and friends.

8   Add commands to push and pop all or individual <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A>. &quot;:setpush tw&quot;,
    &quot;:setpop tw&quot;, &quot;:setpush all&quot;.  Maybe pushing/popping all <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> is
    sufficient.  &quot;:setflush&quot; resets the option stack?
    How to handle an aborted <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>?  Remember position in <A HREF="tagsrch.html#tag">tag</A> stack when
    <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> starts, restore <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> when an error aborts the <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>?

    cursor row and <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> height to redraw cursor at same percentage of <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>
    (Webb).
-   Besides remembering the last used line number of a file, also remember the
    column.  Use <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> with <A HREF="editing.html#CTRL-^">CTRL-^</A> et. al.
-   Check for non-digits when setting a number option (careful when entering
    hex codes like 0xff).
-   Add option to make &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> the &quot;<A HREF="eval.html#@r">@r</A>&quot; command, instead of the last command
    executed by <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.  Also to make &quot;<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>&quot; <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A> the whole <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A>.  Basically: <A HREF="undo.html#redo">redo</A>

    should also work?
-   Add 'urlpath', used like <A HREF="options.html#'path'">'path'</A> for when &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#gf">gf</A>&quot; used on a URL?
8   When using &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#gf">gf</A>&quot; on an absolute file name, while editing a remote file
 starts with scp:// or	<A HREF="http://">http://</A> should prepend the method and machine
    name.
-   When finding a URL or file name, and <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> doesn't exist, try removing a
    trailing '<A HREF="repeat.html#.">.</A>'.
-   Add &quot;:path&quot; command modifier.  Should work for every command that takes a
    file name argument, to search for the file name in <A HREF="options.html#'path'">'path'</A>.	Use
    find_file_in_path().
-   Highlight <A HREF="intro.html#control">control</A> characters on the screen: Shows the difference between
    <A HREF="change.html#CTRL-X">CTRL-X</A> and &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#^">^</A>&quot; followed by &quot;<A HREF="change.html#X">X</A>&quot; (Colon).

-   Add a variant of <A HREF="visual.html#CTRL-V">CTRL-V</A> that stops interpretation of more than one
    character.	For entering mappings on the command line where a key contains
    several special characters, e.g. a trailing newline.
-   Make '2' option in <A HREF="options.html#'formatoptions'">'formatoptions'</A> also work inside comments.
-   Add '<A HREF="change.html#s">s</A>' flag to <A HREF="options.html#'formatoptions'">'formatoptions'</A>: Do not break when inside a <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A>. (Dodt)
-   When <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> size changed (with the mouse) and made too small, set <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> back
    to the minimal size.
-   Add &quot;]&gt;&quot; and &quot;[&lt;&quot;, <A HREF="intro.html#shift">shift</A> comment at end of line (command;  /* comment */).
-   Should not call cursorcmd() for each vgetc() in <A HREF="eval.html#getcmdline()">getcmdline()</A>.

-   Add &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#:a">:a</A>&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#:i">:i</A>&quot; for preloading of named <A HREF="windows.html#buffers">buffers</A>.
-   When entering text, keep other <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> on same buffer updated (when a line
    entered)?
-   Check out how screen does output optimizing.  Apparently this is possible
    <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> an output <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A>.
-   In dosub() regexec is called <A HREF="if_cscop.html#twice">twice</A> for the same line.  Try to avoid this.
-   Window updating from memline.c: insert/delete/replace line.
-   Optimize ml_append() for speed, esp. for reading a file.
-   V..c should keep indent when <A HREF="options.html#'ai'">'ai'</A> is set, just like [count]cc.
-   Updatescript() can be done faster with a <A HREF="eval.html#string">string</A> instead of a char.
-   Screen updating is inefficient with <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-F">CTRL-F</A> and <A HREF="scroll.html#CTRL-B">CTRL-B</A> when there are long
    lines.
-   Uppercase characters in <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> commands can be made <A HREF="change.html#lowercase">lowercase</A>?
8   Add option to show characters in text not <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> &quot;|A&quot; but <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> decimal (&quot;^129&quot;),
    hex (&quot;\x81&quot;) or <A HREF="eval.html#octal">octal</A> (&quot;\201&quot;) or <A HREF="intro.html#meta">meta</A> (M-x).  <A HREF="intro.html#Nvi">Nvi</A> has the '<A HREF="eval.html#octal">octal</A>' option
    to switch from hex to <A HREF="eval.html#octal">octal</A>.  Vile can show unprintable characters in hex
    or in <A HREF="eval.html#octal">octal</A>.
7   Tighter integration with xxd to edit binary files.  Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> more
    easy/obvious to use.  Command line argument?
-   How does <A HREF="intro.html#vi">vi</A> detect whether a <A HREF="change.html#filter">filter</A> has messed up the screen?  Check source.
    After &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:w">:w</A> !command&quot; a wait_return?
-   Improve screen updating code for doput() (use s_ins()).
-   With '<A HREF="change.html#p">p</A>' command on last line: scroll screen up (also for terminals without
    insert line command).
-   Use insert/delete char when <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A> supports <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.
-   Optimize screen redraw for slow terminals.

-   Add special code to <A HREF="options.html#'sections'">'sections'</A> option to define something else but '<A HREF="motion.html#{">{</A>' or
    '<A HREF="motion.html#}">}</A>' <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> the start of a section (e.g. one shiftwidth to the right).
7   Allow using Vim in a pipe: &quot;ls &#124; vim <A HREF="starting.html#-u">-u</A> xxx.vim - &#124; yyy&quot;.  Only needs
    implementing &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:w">:w</A>&quot; to stdout in the buffer that was read from stdin.
    Perhaps <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> to stdout will work, since stderr is used for the <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A>
    I/O.
8   Allow opening an unnamed buffer with &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:e">:e</A> !cmd&quot; and &quot;<A HREF="windows.html#:sp">:sp</A> !cmd&quot;.  Vile can
    <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>.

-   Add text justification option.
-   Set <A HREF="options.html#boolean">boolean</A> <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> on/off with &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="options.html#'paste'">paste</A>=off&quot;, &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> <A HREF="options.html#'paste'">paste</A>=on&quot;.
-   After &quot;inv&quot;ing an option show the value: &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> invpaste&quot; gives &quot;paste is
    off&quot;.
-   Check handling of <A HREF="visual.html#CTRL-V">CTRL-V</A> and '\' for &quot;<A HREF="cmdline.html#:">:</A>&quot; commands that <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> not have TRLBAR.
-   When a file cannot be opened but does exist, give error message.
-   <A HREF="os_amiga.html#Amiga">Amiga</A>: When '<A HREF="change.html#r">r</A>' protection bit is not set, file can still be opened but
    gives read <A HREF="message.html#errors">errors</A>.  Check protection before opening.
-   When <A HREF="editing.html#writing">writing</A> check for file exists but no permission, &quot;Permission denied&quot;.
-   If file does not exist, check if directory exists.

-   <A HREF="os_amiga.html#Amiga">Amiga</A>: test for '<A HREF="motion.html#w">w</A>' flag when reading a file.
-   :table command (Webb)
-   Add new <A HREF="motion.html#operator">operator</A>: clear, make area white (replace with spaces): &quot;g &quot;.

-   Add sort of replace mode where <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> is taken from the old text (Goldfarb).
-   Allow multiple arguments for &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#:read">:read</A>&quot;, read all the files.
-   Support for tabs in specific columns: &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> tabcol=8,20,34,56&quot; (Demirel).

    (Demirel).
-   Modifier for the put command: Change to <A HREF="motion.html#linewise">linewise</A>, charwise, blockwise, etc.
-   Add commands for saving and restoring <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> save&quot; &quot;set restore&quot;,
    for use in macro's and the like.
-   Keep output from listings in a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, so you can have a look at <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> while
    working in another <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.  Put cmdline in a separate <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>?
-   Add possibility to put output of <A HREF="intro.html#Ex">Ex</A> commands in a buffer or file, e.g. for
    &quot;<A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> all&quot;.  &quot;<A HREF="insert.html#:r">:r</A> <A HREF="options.html#:set">:set</A> all&quot;?
-   When the <A HREF="options.html#'equalalways'">'equalalways'</A> option is set, creating a new <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> should not
    result in <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> to become bigger.  Deleting a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> should not result in
    a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> to become smaller (Webb).
-   When resizing the whole Vim <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, the <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> inside should be resized
    proportionally (Webb).
-   Include <A HREF="options.html#options">options</A> directly in option table, no indirect pointers.  Use
    mkopttab to make option table?
-   When doing &quot;<A HREF="editing.html#:w">:w</A> dir&quot;, where &quot;dir&quot; is a directory name, write the current
    file into that directory, with the current file name (without the path)?

-   Add &quot;^Vb&quot; on the command line, replace with <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> before or under the
    cursor?
-   Support <A HREF="map.html#mapping">mapping</A> for replace mode and &quot;<A HREF="change.html#r">r</A>&quot; command (Vi doesn't <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> this)?
8   Sorting of filenames for completion is wrong on systems that ignore
    <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> of filenames.  Add 'ignorefncase' option.  When set, <A HREF="change.html#case">case</A> in
    filenames is ignored for <A HREF="change.html#sorting">sorting</A> them. Patch by Mike Williams:
    ~/vim/patches/ignorefncase.  Also change what matches?  Or use another
    option name.
8   Should be able to compile Vim in another directory, with $(srcdir) set to
    where the sources are. Add $(srcdir) in the Makefile in a lot of places.
    (Netherton)
6   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> configurable when &quot;<A HREF="change.html#J">J</A>&quot; inserts a space or not.  Should not add a
    space after &quot;<A HREF="motion.html#(">(</A>&quot;, for example.
5   When <A HREF="insert.html#inserting">inserting</A> spaces after the end-of-line for <A HREF="options.html#'virtualedit'">'virtualedit'</A>, use tabs
    when the user wants this (e.g., add a &quot;<A HREF="intro.html#tab">tab</A>&quot; field to <A HREF="options.html#'virtualedit'">'virtualedit'</A>).
    (Servatius Brandt)


From <A HREF="intro.html#Elvis">Elvis</A>:
-   Use &quot;instman.sh&quot; to <A HREF="usr_90.html#install">install</A> manpages?
-   Add &quot;:alias&quot; command.
-   Search patterns:
      \@	match <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> under cursor.
    but <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A>:
      \@w	match the <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> under the cursor?
      \@W	match the <A HREF="motion.html#WORD">WORD</A> under the cursor?
8   &quot;:window&quot; command:
    <A HREF="gui.html#:win">:win</A> +	next <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> (up)
    <A HREF="gui.html#:win">:win</A> ++	idem, wrapping
    <A HREF="gui.html#:win">:win</A> -	previous <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> (down)
    <A HREF="gui.html#:win">:win</A> <A HREF="starting.html#--">--</A>	idem, wrapping
    <A HREF="gui.html#:win">:win</A> nr	to <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> number &quot;nr&quot;
    <A HREF="gui.html#:win">:win</A> name	to <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A> editing buffer &quot;name&quot;
7   &quot;<A HREF="quickfix.html#:cc">:cc</A>&quot; compiles a single file (default: current one).  'ccprg'   option is
    program to use with &quot;<A HREF="quickfix.html#:cc">:cc</A>&quot;.  Use &quot;:compile&quot; instead of &quot;<A HREF="quickfix.html#:cc">:cc</A>&quot;?


From xvi:
-   CTRL-_ : swap 8th bit of character.
-   Add egrep-like regex type, like xvi (Ned Konz) or <A HREF="if_perl.html#Perl">Perl</A> (Emmanuel Mogenet)


From vile:
-   When horizontal <A HREF="scroll.html#scrolling">scrolling</A>, use '<A HREF="change.html#&gt;">&gt;</A>' for lines continuing right of a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
-   Support putting .swp files in /tmp: Command in rc.local to move .swp files
    from /tmp to some directory before <A HREF="change.html#deleting">deleting</A> files.


Far future and &quot;big&quot; extensions:
-   Instead of using a Makefile and autoconf, use a simple shell <A HREF="usr_41.html#script">script</A> to
    find the C compiler and <A HREF="diff.html#do">do</A> everything with C code.  Translate something
    like an Aap recipe and configure.ac to C.  Avoids depending on <A HREF="if_pyth.html#Python">Python</A>,
    thus will work everywhere.  With batch file to find the C compiler <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A>
    would also work on <A HREF="os_win32.html#MS-Windows">MS-Windows</A>.
-   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> <A HREF="starting.html#easy">easy</A> to setup Vim for groups of users: novice <A HREF="intro.html#vi">vi</A> users, novice
    Vim users, C programmers, xterm users, <A HREF="gui.html#GUI">GUI</A> users,...
-   Change layout of blocks in swap file: Text at the start, with '\n' in
    between lines (just load the file without changes, except for <A HREF="os_mac.html#Mac">Mac</A>).
    Indexes for lines are from the end of the block backwards.  It's the
    current layout mirrored.
-   Make <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> possible to edit a <A HREF="sponsor.html#register">register</A>, in a <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>, like a buffer.
-   Add stuff to <A HREF="syntax.html#syntax">syntax</A> highlighting to change the text (upper-case keywords,
    set indent, define other highlighting, etc.).
-   Mode to keep C-code formatted all the time (sort of on-line indent).
-   Several top-level <A HREF="windows.html#windows">windows</A> in one Vim session.  Be able to use a different
    font in each top-level <A HREF="windows.html#window">window</A>.
-   Allow editing above start and below end of buffer (flag in <A HREF="options.html#'virtualedit'">'virtualedit'</A>).
-   Smart cut/paste: recognize words and adjust spaces before/after them.
-   Add open mode, use <A HREF="motion.html#it">it</A> when <A HREF="terminal.html#terminal">terminal</A> has no cursor positioning.
-   <A HREF="eval.html#Special">Special</A> &quot;drawing mode&quot;: a line is drawn where the cursor is moved to.
    Backspace deletes along the line (from jvim).
-   Support for underlining (underscore-BS-char), <A HREF="syntax.html#bold">bold</A> (char-BS-char) and other
    <A HREF="syntax.html#standout">standout</A> modes switched on/off with , 'overstrike' option (Reiter).
-   Add vertical mode (Paul Jury, Demirel): &quot;5vdw&quot; deletes a <A HREF="motion.html#word">word</A> in five
    lines, &quot;3vitextESC&quot; will insert &quot;text&quot; in three lines, etc..
4   Recognize <A HREF="motion.html#l">l</A>, #, <A HREF="change.html#p">p</A> <A HREF="motion.html#as">as</A> 'flags' to <A HREF="intro.html#EX">EX</A> commands:
    :g/RE/#l shall print lines with line numbers and in <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A> format.
    :g/RE/dp shall print lines that are deleted.
    POSIX: Commands where flags shall apply to all lines written: <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>,
    number, open, print, substitute, visual, <A HREF="change.html#&amp;">&amp;</A>, <A HREF="scroll.html#z.">z.</A>  For other commands, flags
    shall apply to the current line after the command completes.  Examples:
    :7,10j #l Join the lines 7-10 and print the result in <A HREF="eval.html#list">list</A>
-   Allow two or more users to edit the same file at the same time.  Changes
    are reflected in each Vim immediately.  Could work with local files but
 also over the internet. See	<A HREF="http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/">http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/</A>.
