Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/29310 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/29310 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: feature requests Priority: minor Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: Cvbge Updated by: willmoy Status: patch (code needs review) if you're editing the handbook, you might point out to people they could just put the relevant settings in their .vimrc or, if they only want these settings when editing drupal files they can alias say vid to "vi -u ~/.vimrc-drupal" and have two configurations. But this is a local configuration issue, not a drupal one. willmoy Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 21 Aug 2005 15:10:54 +0000 : Cvbge Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/vim.diff (23.56 KB) Vim can be instructed to set special settings. The line added by this patch tells vim that the file type is php, tab and 'shiftwidth' size is 2 characters and to expand tabs with spaces. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 21 Aug 2005 15:13:47 +0000 : Cvbge (as to not forget) This line can be easili added with sed -i -e 's!^?>$!// vim: ft=php ts=2 sw=2 et\n?>!'<files> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 21 Aug 2005 15:15:49 +0000 : Morbus Iff I'd -1 this. I don't use vi to code Drupal, and I'm sure a lot of other people are using something entirely different as well. Allowing this patch would allow the horde to say "oooh, oOh, add this line for MY favorite text editor too!" - when would it stop? Best not to move Drupal into this political territory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 21 Aug 2005 15:44:19 +0000 : Cvbge Well, how many such editors there are? I can name vi* and emacs only... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 21 Aug 2005 15:51:03 +0000 : chx I feel inclined to say "won't fix". There is little use to add this. Add that sed line to handbook and be done.
