So I wrote this line on my .vimrc:
nnoremap ,, mtA;<Esc>`<space>t
If I do it by myself everything is allright, but if I use the mapp (,,) It tells me that is a unknown mark. Any idea?
The issue is with the <space> you have in between ` and t to restore the `t mark.
In the comments you mentioned that ` is a dead key in your keyboard layout, but that doesn't really play a part in a mapping expansion, since in a way you're already typing ` followed by a "space" to enter a literal ` in the mapping expansion.
Fix it by removing the <space>:
nnoremap ,, mtA;<Esc>`t

(I am new with this) I see these weird black text-boxes and, as far as I know, they are ascii symbols, but I don't know how to see it in a "normal" view, if possible. Thanks in advance!
It was a bit hard to follow your link, I included the screenshot in your question. The ESC indicates a non-printable character. In this case it is the Escape character (ASCII 27), which from the screen shot appears to be part of escape sequences to change text color.
Unfortunately, Notepad++ does not have the means to render them as intended. One option is that you select one and find/replace with nothing. If you want to get rid of not only the ESC but also its associated "parameters" you can use this regular expression to find and replace them
\x1b[^m]*m
I have the following in my .zshrc:
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
precmd(){
echo""
LEFT="$fg[cyan]$USERNAME#$HOST $fg[green]$PWD"
RIGHT="$fg[yellow]$(date +%I:%M\ %P)"
RIGHTWIDTH=$(($COLUMNS-${#LEFT}))
echo $LEFT${(l:$RIGHTWIDTH:)RIGHT}
}
PROMPT="$ "
This gives me the following screenshot
The time part on the right is always not going all the way to the edge of the terminal, even when resized. I think this is due to the $(date +%I:%M\ %P) Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT: Zoomed in screenshot
While your idea is commendable, the problem you suffer from is that your LEFT and RIGHT contains ANSI escape sequences (for colors), which should be zero-width characters, but are nevertheless counted toward the length of a string if you naively use $#name, or ${(l:expr:)name}.
Also, as a matter of style, you're better off using Zsh's builtin prompt expansion, which wraps a lot of common things people may want to see in their prompts in short percent escape sequences. In particular, there are builtin sequences for colors, so you don't need to rely on nonstandard $fg[blah].
Below is an approximate of your prompt written in my preferred coding style... Not exactly, I made everything super verbose so as to be understandable (hopefully). The lengths of left and right preprompts are calculated after stripping the escape sequences for colors and performing prompt expansion, which gives the correct display length (I can't possibly whip that up in minutes; I ripped the expression off pure).
precmd(){
local preprompt_left="%F{cyan}%n#%m %F{green}%~"
local preprompt_right="%F{yellow}%D{%I:%M %p}%f"
local preprompt_left_length=${#${(S%%)preprompt_left//(\%([KF1]|)\{*\}|\%[Bbkf])}}
local preprompt_right_length=${#${(S%%)preprompt_right//(\%([KF1]|)\{*\}|\%[Bbkf])}}
local num_filler_spaces=$((COLUMNS - preprompt_left_length - preprompt_right_length))
print -Pr $'\n'"$preprompt_left${(l:$num_filler_spaces:)}$preprompt_right"
}
PROMPT="$ "
Edit: In some terminal emulators, printing exactly $COLUMN characters might wrap the line. In that case, replace the appropriate line with
local num_filler_spaces=$((COLUMNS - preprompt_left_length - preprompt_right_length - 1))
End of edit.
This is very customizable, because you can put almost anything in preprompt_left and preprompt_right and still get the correct lengths — just remember to use prompt escape sequence for zero width sequences, e.g., %F{}%f for colors, %B%b for bold, etc. Again, read the docs on prompt expansion: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Prompt-Expansion.html.
Note: You might notice that %D{%I:%M %p} expands to things like 11:35 PM. That's because I would like to use %P to get pm, but not every implementation of strftime supports %P. Worst case scenario: if you really want lowercase but %P is not supported, use your original command subsitution $(date +'%I:%M %P').
Also, I'm using %~ instead of %/, so you'll get ~/Desktop instead of /c/Users/johndoe/Desktop. Some like it, some don't. However, as I said, this is easily customizable.
I am editing PHP in vi and as anybody familiar with PHP knows there are a lot of dollar signs. It happens when that's how you declare a variable. However, vi's syntax highlighting seems to think that the dollar sign is something strange and evil, because on every variable vi puts the dollar sign and first character in white-on-pink. It's very distracting on top of my black background.
I don't want to get rid of syntax highlighting completely. Is there any way to just stop the erroneous and obnoxious highlighting of dollar signs in vi?
Note: This only happens when editing Drupal code, which almost never ends in .php. Typical extensions include .module, .install, and .php.inc.
Put the following in your .vimrc:
autocmd FileType module,install,inc set syntax=php
Sometimes I echo a string to the standard output (I see it at the Kubuntu console) and a trailing % symbol gets appended with it's colors inverted (black text on white background).
I can't find any accidental additional character (or half-baked-UTF8 or anything) in the string I'm printing. The character seems to get added when the program finishes.
I'm using Go (golang) right now, but I've already seen this in the past, and I think I was using PHP back then.
What could be causing this?
what shell are you using? sounds like what happens in zsh when there is no carriage return at the end of your output
vi uses dash and space as word separators.
is there any way to exclude dash from word separators ?
This is required to work with the symbols generated by ctags exe.
when symbol contain a "-" ,vi tags fails to locate that even though symbol is generated properly.
For example
Symbol - EX01-VAR-LOCAL
when using the ctrl+] to search tag for this, vi looks only for EX01 not the complete symbol EX01-VAR-LOCAL
although if used with vi -t EX01-VAR-LOCAL or in command mode :tag EX01-VAR-LOCAL
works fine.
Thanks in advance :)
To unset dash as a word separator you have to set this as a normal character using 'iskeyword' setting.
If you look the default iskeyword content (using ":set all") you may have this:
iskeyword=#,48-57,_,192-255
The dash symbol is 45 in ASCII characters, so you have to set as normal character.
Try this:
set iskeyword=#,45,48-57,_,192-255
FZapp's answer is correct. The only thing I'd like to add is that looking at the content of iskeyword would be easier using :set iskeyword instead of :set all.
