Closed 5 years ago.
I have documents that are full of double-quoted sentences. And using editors, It seems likely comfortable when 'erase strings surrounded by double(or single) quotes and go insert-mode' function embedded. Is there any way to do it using with vim?

This program doesn't work
print("test
test")
This runs as expected
print("""test
test""")
Is this simply because Python interpreter allows multi line strings for triple quotes, or there is some difference in the way it interprets the triple quotes?
When You manually type \n it is interpreted as command to execute, you should use triple quotes to enter newlines(\n) manually. Either """#Your string""" or '''#Your string'''
the triple quotes are also used to define multi line string that why ,
print("""test
test""")
the above code works,
You can also use the \ such as,
print("test \
test")

How does one escape backslashes and forward slashes in VIM find/search?
(6 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
for example, I want to find and replace, say my original string is "//hello" to "hello".
Actually I'm trying to uncomment lines which I've commented before.
substitution
if your pattern contains slashes /, e.g. //hello you can of course escape them in s/pat/repl/ command. However, better to pick some another delimiter for your s command:
:s#//hello#whatever#g
In this way, the command is easier to read and understand.
Search
Say If you want to search //hello, you can try a backward search with ?, then you don't have to escape the slashes.
Did you try this:
%s/\/\/hello/hello

Vim plugin for 'auto-closed' parenthesis?
(5 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
This is something what I miss from other editors. I'm looking for a plugin/config which adds closing mark for some characters automatically.
For example, when I type (, it add ) and prompt will be between it. Similarly with {, " etc. This would be very helpful for me. I know I can do it using Vim command, but my goal is do it automatically.
There is a plugin named auto-pairs.vim available in github. See here : https://github.com/jiangmiao/auto-pairs
It can automatically insert closing brackets and quotes and puts prompt in between both.
It is smart and doesn't insert matching brackets for escaped brackets. It works even if you nest different brackets.

How can I customize word definition in Vim? The default is a series of character like _,[a-zA-Z] are considered as word. I'd like to add some other chars to this definition.
You can redefine the iskeyword setting.
Read the VIM docs for it or see this woss article for an example.

Make Vim show ALL white spaces as a character
(23 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I use spaces over tabs. In Sublime Text 2, I would have leading spaces show like so:
I have my .vimrc setup to show tabs, line endings, etc. But I'm not sure how to replicate what I have in Sublime. It was handy as I could still see indentation much more easily when just using spaces.
Here's my line for it now:
set listchars=eol:¬,tab:→→,extends:>,precedes:<
The list+listchars combo can show trailing spaces but not leading spaces.
