Hi, I've just installed Cream on my laptop and my desktop, replacing my old, heavily-tweaked install of Vim 6.4 (yes, Cream is that good). There are a few issues I've been having with it, though: 1) If I load a file into Cream by right-clicking it and selecting "Edit with Cream/Vim", it opens in a new window. However, if I select multiple files and select 'Edit with...', every file opens in its own window. Is there any way to have these files loaded into a single window instead of cluttering up my taskbar with loads of Vim instances? 2) I've developed something of a habit of forgetting to lift my finger off the shift key after entering some capitalised text, but before hitting backspace (if/when I need to correct it). This causes Cream to nuke an entire 'word' (which usually ends up being half the line I was writing). How can I turn this off, or alias Shift-backspace to backspace? But other than that, it's fine. The 'Ocean Deep' theme looks very nice on my laptop LCD with the Proggy Clean font, not to mention the fact that it's easier on the eyes than Vim's default 'console colours' theme. The 'Chocolate Liquor' theme is nice too, but makes the dead pixels on the TFT show up like a sore thumb.. Not that that's your fault or anything, Steve :) Thanks. -- Phil. | (\_/) This is Bunny.

You can put: iunmap <S-BS> in you cream-user. > But other than that, it's fine.

Not that > that's your fault or anything, Steve :) Ages ago we tried to provide a spectrum of themes, half light and half dark. I find it best to match the theme intensity to your ambient lighting conditions and other adjacent application intensity. The eye sees detail (text) best when contrasts are compatible. Although I would think the Terminal theme would do best to hide bad pixels. :) -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ] :: Cream... usability for Vim :: http://cream.sourceforge.net |

That's great - now how would I go about making Ctrl-F4 close the current file (i.e. the same thing File->Close does) - something like this? iunmap <C-F4> imap <C-F4> :bd > Ages ago we tried to provide a spectrum of themes, half light and half > dark.

There's a single green hot subpixel in the bottom-right corner, and a huge blob of R/G/B mixed half-hot subpixels all over the left third or so of the display...
