Re: new Vim book

Hi all,

> Kim Schulz has written a book on using Vim  The full title is:
> "Hacking Vim: A Cookbook to get the Most out of the Latest Vim  
> Editor".

I bought a copy a few weeks ago and I can recommend it. It doesn't  
cover the basics in much detail, but describes many somewhat advanced  
features, many of which I didn't know before.

ps: I don't know Kim Schulz and have no advantages if you buy the  
book. It's just that I liked it

I understand. It isn't just a "Carbon Vim" thing though or maybe I am 
crazy. When I have "vim" open :q closes vim when there are no other 
buffers open. On Windows and HP/UX when I use GVim and I :q when there 
are no other buffers open GVim exits entirely. It is only the MacVim one 
that behaves differently. I am not saying that is good or bad. I just 
wanted to make sure that it was the intended behavior since it is a 
"snapshot" and you would have liked feedback on it.  : )

Thanks for the answer and for the build. I do like it.

You probably know my answer.  : )

I think it should work like Vim does on other platforms. That is the 
great thing about it. While there are some nuances, by and large I get 
the same behavior on Linux, Windows and OSX. That is the plus for me.

another vote for following the HIG. i was under the impression that
this project was to make a more Mac-like vim. there could always be a
preference to quit the app when closing the last window.

MacVim toolbar issues

Hi,

the toolbar problems are caused by the line

         [toolbar setShowsBaselineSeparator:NO];

If this is uncommented, all is well. A short-term fix is to uncomment  
that line and to add

     [tabBarControl setStyleNamed: <at> "Unified"];

to windowDidLoad so that it doesn't look completely hideous. The demo  
app included with PSMTabBarController doesn't seem to have that  
problem. I'll take another look tomorrow.
