You might be interested by ":help modeless-selection". I don't use it much,
but YMMV.

Re: tabbed buffers?

There is a plugin that provides this functionality. I believe it is called minibufexplorer. 

Have you had a look at it?

Is there talk of giving tabbed buffers to Vim? By that I mean, you open a
file, you get a tab, you open another file you get a tab.

Hey, that is a great item to remember.  Yet another key stroke, but it can
come in very handy.

     Maybe I instead of i ...

imdisable and <S-Space> in GTK+2

Can anyone explain why is <S-Space> unable to be mapped in GTK+2
without :set imdisable ? I'd like to have both if possible.

Thanks.

     If you set them in your vimrc file, they may or may not still be in
effect when you want to use them.  Perhaps the first two commands belong
in ~/.vim/ftplugin/php.vim or ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/php.vim .  What does

:set foldmethod? foldlevel?
:echo php_folding

show?

     What version of vim are you using?  can you give a small example of
a php file so that I can try to reproduce the problem?

MiniVimGrep() superceded

For those of you whose mailer daemons won't accept html, I'm resending with
a txt attachment (not as neatly formatted, but still informative!)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I just uploaded a new package for grep-ing without grep program to Scripts
at vim.org.  The package is vimgrep_vim.zip and supercedes MiniVimGrep()
with Vimgrep() (a little easier to type, a bit more tersely descriptive, but
hardly reasons for an update!).  It's more robust, with more functionality.
I'm attaching the html doc for it, fyi.

Hope it's helpful!  Would appreciate any feedback.

thx,

Vimgrep
Page 1 of 8

 The  plugin  vimgrep.vim implements grep type searching using native  vim
 search  capabilities only.  It allows the user to have  wholly  contained
 file  searching  within  Vim  and no need of outside  grep  style  search
 programs.  The implementation uses commands where appropriate for ease of
 use  and/or a function interface for scripting and non-command line  echo
 return.

 The  nominal command and function of vimgrep.vim are both named  Vimgrep.
 They have identical arguments, excepting that the command mechanism wraps
 its  arguments  for functions in quotes, so allowances in usage  must  be
 made for this.  It is perhaps easier to just get used to one or the other
 and  use it exclusively.  The more desirable of the two would then be the

Yes, it is. You'll need to write your own 'statusline' option, with
everything you want to appear. The filesise is

    line2byte(line("$") + 1)

see
    :help 'statusline'
    :help line2byte()
