[Gnu-arch-users] vim and Arch precious files : a work-around

[Jean-Michel FAYARD]

Hello,

    $ vim -- ++foo.vim
and
    $ vim
    :e ./++foo.vim
works, so to automate this, you can do (assuming you use bash)


    $ echo 'alias edit="vim --"'  >> ~/.bashrc
    $ cat <<EOF >> ~/.vimrc
fun! ArchPreciousFiles(A,L,P)
     return system( "ls | grep '^++' ")
endfun
command! -nargs=1 -complete=custom,ArchPreciousFiles Edit :edit ./<args>
EOF


Now, you can safely use "edit" in the shell and ":Edit" in vim to edit 
those files with a leading '++' (for ":Edit", <tab> and <Ctrl-D> are 
used to have an autocompletion for Arch's precious files)
