The first has general principles; the second is on your point:

Thanks! I had read the first but not the second. Excellent
documentation!

Smart Tabs (ctab.vim) 1.4.1 does exactly what I want.

The newer version 2.1, however, seems to be less robust. I got
the following error messages right after hitting "o" to insert
lines:

This is true for all mainstream Linux distributions: you may need 50G 
disk spaces to install all developer packages or some 100G to install 
"everything".

Believe me, you won't want to install everything and you don't even want 
to download everything.

You'll have a hard time if you don't know how to use the "package 
manager". Because most mainstream Linux distributions are much bigger 
than a DVD and they won't install everything by default.

The installation media gives you a basic system, the package manager 
helps you find what you want in the remaining 100G.

Programmatically detect a current "highlight" setting?

I'm writing a plug-in and want to temporarily hide the cursor.

It would be really neat if I could do "highlight Cursor NONE" and
later restore the highlight setting to whatever it was before.

But I am not sure how to capture the old setting. Evidently "highlight
Cursor" _echoes_ the current setting, but doesn't actually return
anything that I could capture programmatically.

Anything I can do?

Cheers,
Wincent

With the following two lines in my ~/.vimrc
the mapping for 'C-j' works for me:

let g:C_Ctrl_j       = 'off'

nmap <silent> <C-j>   4j

Note that if you set 'winheight' to a high value in your vimrc in order 
to make window sizes change dynamically (and the current window always 
be the biggest one), you must use ":all" _before_ setting 'winheight', 
otherwise it won't work.

Re: how to open only session files?

If you ":bd[elete]" or ":bw[ipe]" a file instead of just ":q[uit]"ting 
it, then neither the viminfo nor the session file will remember it -- 
unless you saved the viminfo with ":wv[iminfo]" while the file was still 
listed.

The session file is normally used to remember which files are in your 
windows and tabs. (It can also remember options, the buffer list, etc.) 
The buffer list is in addition to windows and tabs, and remembers (among 
others) the marks (including the latest cursor position) for each of the 
files in the buffer list.

See
	:help :bdelete
	:help :bwipe
	:help viminfo
	:help 'viminfo'
	:help :wviminfo
	:help 'sessionoptions'
	:help :mksession

see
	:help :redir

You should reformat the captured string(s) to remove the xxx and add 
:hi! at the start.

A couple of caveats:
- a different reformat will be needed for a linked group, to replace 
"foo xxx links to bar" by "hi! link foo bar"
- You may need to prefix the capturing :hi command by 0verbose in order 
to make sure that your screen capture does _not_ include where the 
highlight was defined (see :help :verbose).

Best regards,
