I use gvim (graphical vim), so this may or may not be applicable: It can recognise various coding formats and highlight the sections in colours, so there's potential for further automation. I haven't tried to find any auto-formatting, beyond its basic auto-indenting (which just starts the next line at the same indent as the current line, no fancy nesting). A quick look through google suggests there's some add-on that can do that. Though I got the feeling it was a post-processing tool, rather than an as-you-type thing. I can cut and paste with the mouse, but if you're not in insert (typing) mode, the results can take you by surprise. Also, you need to put the cursor where you want the paste to be inserted before you paste the contents of the buffer. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.102.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 17 15:42:21 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
