Proposal: Force all themes to use lowercase names #66

Open chris-roerig opened 9 years ago

chris-roerig commented 9 years ago

I've noticed that the themes using an uppercased name are missing out on tab completion (unless uppercase letter is specified) or even just basic colorscheme name cycling. This would be an easy change but would force existing users to update their vimrc.

flazz commented 9 years ago

do you have any data on how many existing color schemes violate this?

Piggybacking on this issue,

I was trying out monokai today. To my surprise it didn't load: colorscheme monokai

Error detected while processing $HOME/.vimrc:
line    6:
E185: Cannot find color scheme 'monokai'
Press ENTER or type command to continue

so I changed to colorscheme Monokai

Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim74/syntax/synload.vim:
line   19:
E185: Cannot find color scheme 'monokai'
Press ENTER or type command to continue

after that I did mv Monokai.vim monokai.vim which now works

using:

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Oct 21 2015 13:03:49)
Included patches: 1-712

so yeah, this seems to work well on case sensitive filesystems </sarcasm>

My current opinion is that this repo is true to upstream. If there is an issue preventing a colorscheme from being used maybe we take out the offending theme until upstream is fixed.

I'm open to discussion, but it might take a while.

This is causing many issues with macos since the HFS+ file system is case-insensitive:

colors/darkBlue.vim and colors/darkblue.vim is clearly not working well in there

alsemyonov commented 6 years ago

And there is the same issue with colors/darkBlue.vim and colors/darkblue.vim on newer APFS.

Git always report dirty state of repo, and there is no way to checkout clean master branch.

Has anybody forked this repository to fix this ↑ issue already?

@flazz

I am not sure why is this not merged? The fix is obvious and simple, and it is impacting all case-insensitive filesystem (e.g. default APFS, Windows)

chrispaterson commented 6 years ago

I second the vote for this!

flazz commented 5 years ago

sorry all for the late reply,

I was able to reproduce much of the complaint. I just did a fresh checkout on mojave and did :colorscheme Mono<TAB> and it works. dark blue didn't tab complete for me but did work when typing :colorscheme darkBlue and git does show colors/darkBlue.vim as modified.

So it seems there is an issue with git+apfs; an issue with vim's autocompletion. Is there any upstream knowledge around these?

Mandating all files are lower case will solve these specific issues, but will the root causes manifest outside of latin case?

chris-roerig commented 5 years ago

I agree an upstream fix would be better but I wonder how long that would take to trickle out.

flazz commented 5 years ago

Someone want to get a branch (or three) up (apologies if one exists and I dismissed it) with changes specific to these files.

Let's get the changes out upstream too. Considering upstream traction we can work towards getting these into master.

Thanks for all the concern and patience folks.
