Why my Gvim often stop working on Win7? - vim

My Gvim often stop working on Windows7:
I download a prebuilt gvim version, I forgot the link page.
I use Vundle as my vim plugin manager:
Please help me...
Sometimes I type a little fast, I cannot realize what I have type.
Maybe I press some error key which caused the gvim stop.
But I don't know what key will cause the gvim stop.

Your Vim version 7.4.280 is a development snapshot; it is not a stabilized version. Either move back to this MR version (and hope that the problem isn't there), or regularly update to the latest available build. Ideally, you'll then debug into / collect stacktraces in case of crashes, and report this problem, so that the devs can do something about it.

Thanks to #Ingo Karkat recommandation.
I download another prebuild gvim for windows version.
I find a very good all-in-one gvim for windows on Bitbucket:
https://bitbucket.org/Alexander-Shukaev/vim-for-windows/downloads
This gvim support lua/python2.7.x/python3.4.x/ruby/perl, and it include all the lua52.dll/python27.dll/python34.dll/... files. So vimers do NOT have to download the matchde version script dll files.
I think this will meet most of vimer's need.

Terminal mode for Vim 8?

Is there a terminal mode (similar to in NeoVim) for Vim 8 yet? I know that Vim 8 has new async features, which makes it possible to make an async terminal feature in Vim (like Neovim already has), so curious if anyone is already trying to do that.
Vim 8.0.0693 is the first of an ongoing series of patches ("terminal emulator support") that implements this. If you're willing to compile Vim yourself and work with alpha-grade software, go right ahead. The latest source code and runtime files can be downloaded via FTP or retrieved from GitHub; see vim.org for details. As this feature is under development, you can still influence it and help the contributors by reporting bugs.
In case you just want to use a final version, you have to wait for the next Vim release (version 8.1?), or switch to Neovim.

Error opening vim

I just installed VimPlug and several golang imported tools and plugins. I'm not sure where the first place to look at in order to disable this installation of oracle since it's been replaced with guru.
$ vim
Installing golang.org/x/tools/cmd/oracle
Error installing golang.org/x/tools/cmd/oracle:
Press ENTER or type command to continue
Vim-Go - all in one Go plugin for Vim. The best plugin I ever saw. Thanks to Fatih Arslan (btw he made a lot of excellent tools for Go).

Possible to use Aptana standalone with vim with Mac?

I've just started doing Ruby on Rails development.
I'm trying to get the best of both worlds. I love getting around a file with just the keyboard like I can with vim. But opening up and find the files from the command line is a drag.
I'd love to be able to click a file open in Aptana and then be able to navigate around it with vim commands to do my actual editing.
I haven't been able to find any definitive solution for getting this working on a mac. I tried installing software for it with Aptana under Help >> Install new software as linked to from here: http://satyavvd.blogspot.com/2010/05/aptana-studio-with-vi-emulation.html but the link is 2 years old I couldn't figure out how to get it running.
Has anybody out there gotten this to work?
I'm using Aptana 3.2.2
You know you can right click on a file and choose which editor to use, do you? Or assign any editor -- internal or external -- to any filetype in Aptana's preferences?
Aptana is based on Eclipse so all the Vi(m) plugins that work in one are probably going to work in the other.
Take a look at these five plugins:
Vrapper
A "regular" Eclipse editor with many Vi(m) key-bindings.
viPlugin
Idem, payware.
Viable
Idem, payware.
vimplugin
Run Vim inside of Eclipse/Aptana. I don't think that it works on a Mac.
eclim
Eclipse and Vim talking through a server.
But if you only want a more convenient way to open files in Vim I can't recommand CtrlP enough. You could also try the similar but different FuzzyFinder, LustyExplorer or Command-T) or you could get more familiar with Vim's :e **/foo<Tab>.

Can't Copy & Paste in Eclipse 3.5

I recently updated my Eclipse to the latest release 3.5 and since then I have a very annoying problem with c&p using the shortcuts.
In an editor (xml, jsp, doesn't matter which one) I try to copy something and paste it somewhere else, nothing happens. When I cut out something and put it somewhere else I sometimes get something else (like a messed up part of my previous selection) or just some whitespaces. This gets even worse when I change lines in between.
First I thought that my keyboard is probably broken but it works just fine in other programs. Then I tried using the context menus' c&p and there it works. Yesterday I managed to get at least an error message when I tried to copy a file in the navigator from one project to another (the message was just "error using copy...bla". no details).
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
I am running on Kubuntu 9.04, and have quite some plugins installed (but only from the Galileo Updates Site), like Birt, Mylin, WST, or Subversive.
For my problem, I had to go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing, and uncheck "Update imports"
This must be related to the key mapping, since those shortcuts are defined according to context.
(Column "When", in Preferences / General / Keys)
Check if those shortcuts do not work for any editor (do they work for Java editor?)
If they work for some editor, not for other, then some plugin settings must have re-affected them to another command.
This is caused by various X clipboard managers doing weird things with the clipboard. (bug report).
In XFCE the clipman applet was rolled in XFCE 4.8, and will be the source of these problems.
To fix this in XFCE - kill xfce4-settings-helper. You will need to use Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Session to kill it, as otherwise it may restart automatically.
To prevent this starting next time, you will need to remove it from your startup/login programs in Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart.
Problem was solved with newer Eclipse releases. I think >= 3.6. Depending on your distribution there may be a (back)port of this (not on my Xubuntu 11.04) within the repositories.
So a tarball installation of Eclipse 4.0 works perfectly for me. Cut&Paste works and I am lucky that my plugins are compatible to 4.0.
Unfortunately Sublime Text has the same problems.
I read somewhere that in KDE maybe Klipper / "Klipper on the panel" conflicts with eclipse copy action.
It's a tool for clipboard history. Try to remove that! It may solve your problem :-/
For me the xfce4-settings-helper killing worked.
Workaround:
You can cut&paste from the compare view. So simply compare the un-copyable file (e.g., local history) with a different version and Control-C what you need there.
In the *.java editor page, right click and select open in text editor. Past your snippet there. Your Snippet will show in the *.java page'
I use Eclipse Kepler for PHP development. It's dumb I know.
None of the solutions suggested here has solved this source of frustration.
I can confirm the copy function works whether shortcut keys are bound or not. As I can copy from eclipse and paste into any other application. Except eclipse.
My solution. Accidental discovery: Eclipse Kepler will allow you to paste outside the php open and close tags and allow you to click and drag the highlighted block of content into into position.
Acceptable solution for small bits of code. Horribly crippling for larger development environments.
For Xming, this resolved the problem for me. In XLaunch uncheck Clipboard (clipboard manager) in the "Specify parameter settings" GUI form.

Vim as Visual Studio IDE

I have spent lot of time doing research on VIM. I am Windows guy since last 6 yrs and was using VS.
Now started working on Linux. I want to make VIM as close as possible to VS.
I want features like
Project Navigation
Files in Different Tabs
Search in Project
AutoCompletion
I have found plugins for the above requirements
Project Pligin
MiniExplore
Taglist
OmniComplete
I am not able to correctly set vimrc script.
When I try to open file from Project it gets open in different tabs.I want to get it open in different buffers.
Also when I want to close file in buffer , complete window gets closed.
Open taglist and project window makes all mess.
Has any one done settings with these plugin..
Could you guys please post your vimrc files??
It will save lot of time for newbies like me..
Vim is a very different tool than Visual Studio. Plugins may help you get certain bits of functionality you desire, but do not expect them to work exactly like VS, work well together, or even work at all.
If you are looking for a programming environment more like Visual Studio, there are many good graphical IDE's you can use such as NetBeans, Eclipse, Code::Blocks, KDevelop, Anjuta, etc. Some of these tools are, IMHO, better heavyweight IDE's than Visual Studio, and all are available on Linux for free.
You should either learn to use Vim the way it was built to be used, or find a different tool that suits you better. Shoehorning Vim into a surrogate for Visual Studio will probably cause you more pain than it's worth.
Yes it's different to VS, but that doesn't mean it can't be used in the same way. It's just not as easy to do it :)
Personally I go the other way and use ViEmu to get VS to behave like VIM. But I'm not in the same situation as the author of this question.
Why not have a dig through some uploaded vimrc files on dotfiles.org?
You can use the following script, Trinity.
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2347
It will require 3 more scripts, and Vim will look like an IDE.
The TagList at left, a file exporer (NERDTree) at right, and Source Explorer at bottom.
Also, you can find some very useful blog entries at
http://kevin-berridge.blogspot.com/search/label/vim
The author, Kevin, explains how to compile solutions form inside Vim. He also shows interfacing and jumping between them which is very useful too.
Furhermore, there is the script vim-visual-studio which can be found at
http://code.google.com/p/vim-visual-studio/
This script is using Python extension. I have Python 2.5 installed in Windows. I am using Gvim 7.2 which is compiled with Python 2.4. So, I have replaced the executables of Gvim as explained here:
http://www.gooli.org/blog/gvim-72-with-python-2526-support-windows-binaries/
So, Gvim became compatible with Python 2.5 and raised no problems. Also, a menu entry "Visual Studio" has appeared as expected. It connects to Visual Studio itself, and it works perfectly. It does not just compiles a file, it can compile a solution containing more than one project as in Visual Studio. You can even use the Vim's 'quickfix' feature. Hope this helps.
If you really want to have vim as the front end, try Eclim. It uses Eclipse as a backend daemon for code completion and project management, and vim as the interface.
If you only like vim because of the vi key bindings, but want it to be more IDE like, you could try the latest MonoDevelop that has it built in.
These plugins used to exist long before vim had tabs. I'd be quite surprised there isn't a way to tune these plugins to split windows instead of opening tabs.
Now I can't help you much as I don't use these specific plugins but other ones. You should look at their help (:h project, :h taglist, etc)
PS: in vim terminology (it will help you browse the help files), what you call "buffer" is actually called "window", while a "buffer" is just the text you are working on, it may be associated to a file, or not. For a given buffer, there may be no or several window displaying parts of the buffer.
you can give a try to eXvim
