I am trying to figure out what I have done to this source file in VIM (Mac VIM). I was attempting to use the > keyboard shortcut to intent the selected block of code and have obviously done something else to the file. It only effects the text I had selected (both in terms of the named file and position).

To clear the lines I tried:

  • Closing and reopening the file
  • Cutting the effected text out, saving / closing the file, pasting content back in etc..
  • Recreating the file and reopening it in Vim (tabbed session)

While exiting vim and reopening the application cleared the lines, I would still like to know what I had done (to avoid having to close out all of my tabs in the future).

strange lines in VIM

:verbose map > output:

n  >p          * :call <SNR>100_putline(']p')<CR>>']
        Last set from ~/.vim/janus/vim/tools/unimpaired/plugin/unimpaired.vim
n  >P          * :call <SNR>100_putline('[p')<CR>>']
        Last set from ~/.vim/janus/vim/tools/unimpaired/plugin/unimpaired.vim

You need to find out which syntax group causes the highlighting. :syn list shows all active groups, but it's easier when you install the SyntaxAttr.vim - Show syntax highlighting attributes of character under cursor plugin. When you have the name of the offending syntax group, you can investigate where it comes from; (the last lines of) :scriptnames may help.

  • That makes sense, I will look into installing SyntaxAttr so I have that available next time I confuse myself. – Adam Lewis Jun 11 '14 at 14:42
