Hello Steve, How do I insert a file from disk into the current buffer? How do I modifiy Recent Files to be an entry in the File pulldown that expands to a sub-menu? In other words, I would like to avoid the list being shown in the File pulldown directly. It's Cream for Windows. Thanks and regards Frank |

There is not a "Cream way" (yet) but in Vim the command is :read [filename] I suppose this could be added to the Insert menu if somebody were to write a simple function that used a dialog to select [filename].

You could hack the menu name and priority to make it a root menu. -- Steve Hall [ digitect mindspring com ] :: Cream... something good to put in your Vim! :: http://cream.sourceforge.net |

So if I want the Recent Files to be listed separately in a submenu, I have to change which menu name? And make it a root menu?? Please assume that I know nothing about vim. Some more details would help. Thanks. Frank |

Add the following two lines at line 124 in cream-menu-mru.vim: let s:mru_label = 'Re¢' let s:file_prio = "11" Does that work? -- Steve Hall [ digitect mindspring com ] :: Cream... something good to put in your Vim! :: http://cream.sourceforge.net |

> it works here. cleans up the file menu. It works here as well but not as intended. The effect is to add a new entry to the top menu bar. What I was asking for was instructions to change the File pulldown: it should have an entry called e.g. Recent Files. That entry expands to a submenu where the recent files are listed. I hope I have put it clearly this time, it is quite common actually. In UltraEdit you have a configuration option to list the recent files directly in the File pulldown or in a submenu of it. If not a burden to you, please let me have your instructions. Thanks. Frank |

Ah, now I understand, put this at 124: let s:mru_label = '&File.&Recent\ Files' And if you can't live with the initial line separator, you'll have to tamper with the counter logic in line 215. -- Steve Hall [ digitect mindspring com ] :: Cream... something good to put in your Vim! :: http://cream.sourceforge.net |
