Conceal does not seem to work for the pad list

[jostber]

I have python and conceal support in my vim, and vim-pad worked fine with conceal in the previous version. When I upgraded to the recent git version this does not work anymore. In the pad list all entries are shown with the full directory path making them hard to read. I have checked the syntax file, but did not find a clue there. Is there something else I can check here?

Do conceals work if you set conceallevel manually?

 setlocal conceallevel=2

Hi, thanks. I have tried that, but there is no difference.

The focus was in the Pad buffer, right? It should work, otherwise the most likely scenario is your vim version somehow lacks conceal support (sometimes gvim and console vim differ).

It's weird otherwise, I haven't changed the syntax file for the pad buffer in a while, so nothing should have changed.

Yes, it's in the pad buffer. I will check some more if some old file is hanging around causing this, as I installed vim-pad manually before I started using pathogen.

I have tried to adjust the syntax file, but for some reason it only works if I start vim-pad with this command:

vim -c ":ListPads" -c ":syn match Conceal /.*@ / conceal" -c ":wincmd w" -c ":q!"

Does the rest of the highlighting work? It should look like this when conceals are inactive:

No, in my view the time and description is white, and the titles are yellow. Would like to have this highlighting work. :)

Hm, it seems the syntax isn't loading properly. Try this: add

 echom "loading vim-pad syntax"

at the beginning of the syntax/pad.vim file and try opening the notes list again. Then, check :messages for the output. BTW, what colorscheme are you using? It might be interferring with vim-pad's highlighting.

Here is the message:

loading vim-pad syntax

I use the synic.vim colorscheme for dark backgrounds. I have tried other colorschemes(vividchalk,mirodark) as well with the same result.

Cheers. I'm seeing the exact same issue in Vim and Neovim.

Moreover :syn lists the expected syntax matches for the pad buffer. But more interesting it works if I remove this line from pad.vim

exe 'syn match PadLocal /'.g:pad#local_dir.'/ containedin=PadFolder'

[equalsraf]

g:pad#local_dir is empty, so that might be the issue. I think there is a warning in the docs for :syn about matching the empty string. So something like this?

if g:pad#local_dir
    exe 'syn match PadLocal /'.g:pad#local_dir.'/ containedin=PadFolder'
endif

[fmoralesc]

Thanks @equalsraf, I think that should do it. I also made it so g:pad#local_dir isn't empty by default (the default is now "notes").

Can you confirm this fixed it, @jostber?

Tested this now, and it seems to work great. Thanks!

@jostber I'm glad. Thanks @equalsraf for figuring it out.

I'm closing the issue.
