mksess can not keep my color settings

[Steven Woody]

Hi,

The colors I set in after/plugin/mycolor.vim can not be kept every time when I load (:so) a  previously saved session file. How to overcome this?

Thanks.

You can use the SessionLoadPost autocommand to do whatever you like just
after a session file is sourced.
Caveat: doautoall is used to execute the SessionLoadPost autocommands,
so they're executed for each loaded buffer.

:help :au
:help SessionLoadPost

If it doesn't hurt to source your script multiple times, you could put
something like...
:au SessionLoadPost * :runtime after/plugin/mycolor.vim

...in your .vimrc. If your colors file sets something like
g:colors_name, you might use :finish at the top of it to skip loading
when it's already loaded. You could also try putting logic in the
autocommand itself that will cause it to do nothing for all but the
first buffer...

To set colours more robustly, set them in a colorscheme. However, it is
*not* possible to tweak an existing colorscheme by adding
"after-commands" in a script in an |after-directory|, you have to write
a full-fledged colorscheme (possibly by modifying an existing one), give
it a new name and place it in the colors/ subdirectory of a directory
named early in 'runtimepath' (e.g. $VIM/vimfiles/colors/ if you want to
make it available to all users on your machine -- and have the
permissions for it).

My "almost-default" colorscheme
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/almost-default.vim started
out as a "slight" modification of the default colorscheme: I notice that
it has grown quite a lot since then. Use it as a source of inspiration
if you want; you'll probably not use it "as-is" since some of the
colours it sets (such as User1 and User2) are used by settings elsewhere
(in this case, in the custom tabline defined by my vimrc
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/.vimrc ).

See ":help :colorscheme".


Best regards,
Tony.

Hello Tony,

why do you send your mails to vim@... and vim_use@...?
I have your mails always also in my folder for duplicates. It's not a
big problem, but I'm a little bit confused, because a few weeks ago you
sent the mails only to one adress. What's happening? Is it an accidental
misconfiguration of your mailprogram or is it your intention to send
them to both adresses?

Just my 2¢
Michael

This is probably because the vim web site says to sign up and post to @vim.org, but points to the google group for help, where you are told to post to @googlegroups.com. I got no response when I subscribed and posted to @vim.org. I think that the google groups one is the only one what is working...

It is not my intention, but it depends on what was set on the post I
reply to.

When I start a new thread (not very often, but it happens), I send it
only to vim_use@... (or vim_dev@ etc.). When a post arrives
with both vim_use@... and vim@... in its "To and Cc",
the Gmail POP server is clever enough to deliver me only one copy, but
when I click "Reply to All", SeaMonkey puts them both in the To & CC --
if I notice it I'll remove @vim.org manually, but I don't always notice it.

This post of yours had only the @googlegroups.com address on it, so I
don't need to remove anything.


Best regards,
Tony.

Apparently they are both working, since sending to both makes (at least
some) people get two copies.

Hello Tony,

I don't want to pace you, but I think there's a addon for SeaMonkey with
which you have the button "reply-to-list". I don't know SeaMonkey
because I've never used it and for my mails I use mutt.

You gave great answers here on this ML and when you do everything like
you did it before, it's ok for me. I only wrote the first mail, because
it was possible that it was a kind of misconfiguration.

I hope you are not affronted by my mail. If it's so, sorry.

Michael

I am not affronted at all; indeed I ought to check more often, before
clicking "Send", whether my post is going once or twice to the list.

If there really is a "reply-to-list" extension which works on SeaMonkey
(and I use SeaMonkey 2, whose backends are in some respects quite
different from those in SeaMonkey 1.x) I'd like to know what it is;
after I send this post I'm going to search addons.mozilla.org to see if
I find it, but if anyone has details about it, I think I'm not the only
Vimmer who would profit by it. ;-)


Best regards,
Tony.

Hello Tony,

look here:

http://tinyurl.com/yfpk7hv

At the addon site of mozilla it's not available. Don't know why and I
also don't know if it works with seamonkey. Have a look at it and when
it works for you can describe your experiences here on the list, because
I'm sure you're right that you are not the only Vimmer who wants an
addon like this.

Hello Tony,

another possible solution is 'muttator', but I also don't know if it
works for seamonkey. It's a thunderbird extension.

http://www.vimperator.org/muttator

Muttator is a free add-on for the Thunderbird mail client, which makes
it look and behave like the Vim text editor. It has similar key
bindings and you could call it a modal mail client, as key bindings
differ according to which mode you are in. For example, it the same keys
can select the next message while the message list has focus or can
scroll down an existing message when the message preview is selected.

This mailing list already altered the reply-to: field so that just
click "reply" will post to vim at googlegroups.com;  untested since I
don't use seamonkey.

In the meantime (and thanks to a private email from another Vimmer) I
found out https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4455 which,
alas, is Thunderbird-only. Sent an email to the author (who wrote quite
a number of Thunderbird extensions) with CC to Philip Chee who replied
with a pointer to a mozillawiki article about porting Fx&Tb extensions
to SeaMonkey. We'll see if anything develops out of it.

BTW, I don't like tinyurl because you can't know where the link is going
before you use it. I'd rather have a long URL out in clear (even in
several lines, if your mailer can put it out readably). So I'll spell
out that tinyurl link here, it isn't that long:
http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?ReplyToListThunderbirdExtension

Had a look at that alumnit.ca page: Not a single word about SeaMonkey,
and requires the Preview Pane enabled (which is the opposite of what I
use). Two reasons to think it's not for me. I'm not trying it.


Best regards,
Tony.

I'm not _that_ fanatically Vim-only: plain-vanilla (Thunderbird or)
SeaMonkey mail composing capabilities are good enough for me, especially
now that I've found all the "international" keys on my Belgian keyboard
(see http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/other/keybbe.htm ). But
maybe someone else will like it. :-)

Yeah, well, I don't agree with Reply-To munging (see
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html for a full
argumentation), and I have other reasons to reply to All (or to List if
I could) anyway.

What's wrong with mutt, anyway? :-)

Some of Mutt's features include:

* color support
* message threading
* MIME support (including RFC2047 support for encoded headers)
* PGP/MIME (RFC2015)
* various features to support mailing lists, including list-reply
* active development community
* POP3 support
* IMAP support
* full control of message headers when composing
* support for multiple mailbox formats (mbox, MMDF, MH, maildir)
* highly customizable, including keybindings and macros
* change configuration automatically based on recipients, current folder, etc.
* searches using regular expressions, including an internal pattern matching
  language
* Delivery Status Notification (DSN) support
* postpone message composition indefinetly for later recall
* easily include attachments when composing, even from the command line
* ability to specify alternate addresses for recognition of mail forwarded
  from other accounts, with ability to set the From: headers on replies/etc.
  accordingly
* multiple message tagging
* reply to or forward multiple messages at once
* .mailrc style configuration files
* easy to install (uses GNU autoconf)
* compiles against either curses/ncurses or S-lang
* translation into at least 20 languages
* small and efficient
* It's free! (no cost and GPL'ed)

If you use a decent mailer, Reply-To munging cannot hurt you. eg.
there are 3 mode of reply:
1. r - reply to sender or use Tab to switch to other address in cc list
2. g - group reply to all
3. L - reply to list

Nothing is wrong with mutt. Look in my header ;-)
It was just a suggestion for Tony.
