View 5 RepliesIn my CentOS configuration, when I use vim6.3 to edit a file, then close it, and re-open it, my cursor starts out at the line where I last left off. In my cygwin (on Windows) configuration, when I use vim7.3, I don't get this behavior. The viminfo does exist and does seem to get read (because if I type '0 it will go to my last cursor location - but that is globally and could change the file being edited). I've also looked at the .viminfo file and see it getting updated as expected. In my .vimrc file, I have this:
Quote: set viminfo='100,<50,f1,"500,/100,:100
Note that on the CentOS side if I open foo, then I open bar, then I open foo again, my cursor is in the right place for foo, whereas on cygwin if I do this, my cursor would be at the 1st line of foo.. If I were to type '0, it would actually switch to editing bar and put the cursor where I last left off. Anyhow, this all boils down to asking how I get my cygwin vim to act like my CentOS vim.
I am trying to edit a large bunch of files. Each file has four columns and I want to get rid of the first one, but in each line the number of the first column changes. the number in the first column ranges from 1 digit to 5. For example
1 aaaaa bbbbbb ccccc
23 aaaaa bbbbbb ccccc
15343 aaaaa bbbbbb ccccc
and the desired format would be
aaaaa bbbbbb ccccc
aaaaa bbbbbb ccccc
aaaaa bbbbbb ccccc
How can I set indent in .emacs to enable my new line starts from the same position of previous line?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make another file annotation script a little speedier than it has been by the up-until-now proven method of checking the last four characters in a filename before the "dot" (eg .jpg, .psd) against a list of known IPTC categories and Exiv2 command files. It occurred to me that if one script generated a list of files in directory foo, and the same or another script sorted that list by that four-letter tag,then that list could be used(instead of a for/do/done loop on the real files in the folder) by the command-file-matching script to "vomit out" which annotator file would go with file nastynewfile.jpg, f'r'instance. The script I had been using for this task looks like this:
Code:
while read 'line';
do
sp=$(echo $line)
vc=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f1)
cv=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f2)
[code]....
Where I seem to be stuck is with how to sort the lines in templist, which may be any number of different lengths, from back to front. sort -k looked promising, except it seems only to work the other way round. I thought of invoking a
Code:
q=$(expr length $line); echo $q
n=$[q-8]; echo $n
kind of thing, but that presented the problems of how to sort by those, how to tell sort where to find them (grep?) and how to "stitch them back in" to the original list, which is what I want to sort in the first place.
I am using Vi editor for editing and configuring my file.I am facing a little problem when there is long file like 3000 lines. Normally i use
Code:
:set number
in vi editor to visible my line number.The problem is when i have to go in the top of the file like say line number one I use k for it and to move down I use j which is too much time consuming. How can i jump directly my cursor to line number 2333 or line number 2600.
Just in case someone can reply a silly question, I've quite forgot the vi/vim command to bring the cursor to the 1st char in the current line. I do remember that for bringing it to EOL is '$'.

I have Inkscape 0.48 running on a windows xp laptop, but I can't find a way of getting it onto my desktop system running Ubuntu 8.04, which I need to run EMC2.
If I use apt-get to download the latest version, it gets 0.46, which has a cursor/tool bug in it.(The cursor doesn't line up with the tool on screen).
Is it possible for me to successfully transfer 0.48 via a memory stick to the desktop, without jeopardizing the Ubuntu system, or is there some other way ?
I'd like to improve my computer's performance by storing files' system location (e.g.: /home/user/speech.odt) and HD position (head, sector, etc) and do the computer use that info from ram memory.I have a directory with several files and when I cd and ls it, it takes a while to the computer answer me. Plus, it would return immidiate find results.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI lastly used KDE (version 1.x ). Now I'm using KDE 3.5 for several weeks and one thing really annoys me: there are a lot of programs that don't remember their last window position and/or size. They always default to a specific location/size when I close and open them again. I give you some examples:
Program that doesn't remember anything:
- Konqueror
Program that remembers window size, but not position:
- KMail
Nice Program that remembers everything:
- Basket Note Pads
Is there a way to tell these programs to remember their position/size?And a second question about konqueror: Can I tell konqueror to remember the view mode? I prefer MultiColumn view, but it always defaults to Icon view.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm running netbook remix on a eeepc 1005ha. It is my only OS and Im loving it except for one obnoxious quirk. It randomly cuts text and randomly pastes it. If there is something in the clipboard, it will usually paste that, but just as often it will cut random text and paste that. The pastes occur when the cursor focus jumps back to the location of the cursor on the screen. I dont know a better way to phrase that, but thats what it is doing. Say... I put the cursor over the word "pastes" in the paragraph above... even though Im typing in this paragraph, the focus will "jump" to the cursors physical locale (the word "pastes") and then paste whatever is in the clipboard. If the cursor is outside of the textbox, the page will jump to the bottom.
This behavior occurs across programs and in any place text can be entered. I can find no rhyme or reason for it... it just... happens. Sometimes even when Im away from my computer, so its not like Im hitting some key on accident. I have loved everything about this ubuntu distro, but this issue is just toany obnoxious. Writing psych papers on this thing is going to be near impossible if I dont get this fixed before I go back to school.
