VI Editor & Emacs

drumstick · 05-19-2005, 09:28 AM

Hello again,

Also my VI editor is colorless. At school (I am a computer science engineering student) we use RedHat Enterprise Server. VI editors on those machines are colorful.

I mean, for example, when you write "#include something.h" it is orange, or when you write "int" it is green, orange for "this" etc.

How can I edit my VI editor to be colorful like that?

Also how can I find the Emacs editor in SuSE 9.3 Professional?
Does any package groups include it?

Think of me as a newbie to Linux...

Make a file on your home directory called .vimrc and put in the line

syntax on

Then start vim

do a locate vimrc_example.vim

That file may be better for a ~/.vimrc file.

Thank you both for your help...

And one more question...

After editing ".vimrc" I receive a warning:

drumstick@linux:~/MazeProject> vi Maze.cpp
No mapping found
No mapping found
Hit ENTER or type command to continue

After hitting ENTER, it opens the file to edit.

What does this warning mean? And how can I make it gone?

cd ./gnu/emacs

Read the explanation given in the manpage for lockd. Most kernels don't require it but it doesn't hurt to run it anyway.

From the statd.c file in the kernel source (2-6-8):
* linux/fs/lockd/nsmproc.c
*
* Kernel-based status monitor. This is an alternative to
* the stuff in mon.c.
*
* When asked to monitor a host, we add it to /var/lib/nsm/sm
* ourselves, and that's it. In order to catch SM_NOTIFY calls
* we implement a minimal statd.

Hi,

I use Vi both on Debian and SuSE. (Vi version: 6.3 incl patch 1-71 on both machines)

when I add the following part of my global vimrc file from the Suse machine to the Debian machine I get the same Error as described above (No mapping found (2x) Hit ENTER or type commanc to continue):

if myterm == "xterm" || myterm == "kvt" || myterm == "gnome" || myterm == "linux"
" keys in insert/command mode.
map! <ESC>Oo :
map! <ESC>Oj *

map! <ESC>Ox 8
map! <ESC>Oy 9
map! <ESC>Ot 4
map! <ESC>Ou 5
map! <ESC>Ov 6
map! <ESC>Oq 1
map! <ESC>Or 2
map! <ESC>Os 3

map! <ESC>On .
" keys in normal mode

map <ESC>Ov 6
map <ESC>Oq 1
map <ESC>Or 2
map <ESC>Os 3

endif

note: this is preceded by: (but without the above if-statement no errors)
" Try to get the correct main terminal type
if &term =~ "xterm"
let myterm = "xterm"
else
let myterm = &term
endif
let myterm = substitute(myterm, "cons[0-9][0-9].*$", "linux", "")
let myterm = substitute(myterm, "vt1[0-9][0-9].*$", "vt100", "")
let myterm = substitute(myterm, "vt2[0-9][0-9].*$", "vt220", "")
let myterm = substitute(myterm, "\$[^-]*\$[_-].*$", "\\1", "")

" Here we define the keys of the NumLock in keyboard transmit mode of xterm
" which misses or hasn't activated Alt/NumLock Modifiers. Often not defined
" within termcap/terminfo and we should map the character printed on the keys.
