Not showing messages

[alem0lars]

When the plugin Cmd2 is active and I type :messages, the messages aren't shown.

[gelguy]

I am unable to replicate this.

[alem0lars]

If you type :messages can you read them?

[gelguy]

Yes, the messages appear as per normal.

[alem0lars]

Here is the behaviour:

[gelguy]

The :intro splashscreen is not included in :messages, and newer versions of Vim do not have the messages maintainer message.

Could you try again after creating a message (e.g. opening a file)?

[alem0lars]

[gelguy]

Do you happen to have a map or cmap for <CR>?

I am unable to figure out what might be causing the :messages to not show as the other commands seem to be working fine.

If you can create a minimal .vimrc (i.e. .vimrc with only Vundle and Cmd2.vim) which can replicate this issue I can do further troubleshooting.

[alem0lars]

Do you happen to have a map or cmap for ?

No

---

This problem seems to be more general, since it seems that some commands sometimes are "not taken". This also explains :messages not showing output: it's because the command is not taken.

Details here:

[gelguy]

I can replicate this when loop_sleep is set to more than zero, i.e. the default value.

Can you confirm that this does not occur when loop_sleep is set to 0?

[alem0lars]

I'm having that problem with the following Cmd2 configuration:

" {{{ Options.

let g:Cmd2_cmd_mappings = {
      \ 'iw': {'command': 'iw', 'type': 'text', 'flags': 'Cpv'},
      \ 'ap': {'command': 'ap', 'type': 'line', 'flags': 'pv'},
      \ '^': {'command': '^', 'type': 'normal!', 'flags': 'r'},
      \ 'w': {'command': 'Cmd2#functions#Cword',
          \ 'type': 'function', 'flags': 'Cr'},
      \ }

let g:Cmd2_options = {
      \   '_complete_ignorecase': 1,
      \   '_complete_uniq_ignorecase': 0,
      \   '_quicksearch_ignorecase': 1,
      \   '_complete_start_pattern': '\<\(\k\+\(_\|\#\)\)\?',
      \   '_complete_fuzzy': 1,
      \   '_suggest_render': 'Cmd2#render#New().WithInsertCursor().WithAirlineMenu()',
      \   'loop_sleep': 0,

      \   'menu_selected_hl': 'airline_y',
      \   'menu_separator_hl': 'airline_x',
      \ }

if exists('g:Cmd2_default_options')
  call Cmd2#init#Options(g:Cmd2_default_options)
endif

" Character to type to start wildcard expansion in the command-line.
set wildcharm=<Tab>

" }}}

" {{{ Configure hotkeys.

" : or /: Enable Cmd2 automatically.
nmap <expr> : ':' . (&paste ? '' : "\<Plug>(Cmd2Suggest)")
nmap <expr> / '/' . (&paste ? '' : "\<Plug>(Cmd2Suggest)")

" <F11>: Enable Cmd2 manually.
cmap <F11> <Plug>(Cmd2Suggest)

" <Tab>: Perform completion using Cmd2.
cmap <expr> <Tab> Cmd2#ext#complete#InContext() ?
      \ '\<Plug>(Cmd2Complete)' :
      \ '\<Tab>'

" }}}

[gelguy]

I am unable to replicate it with that configuration.

Can you produce a minimal .vimrc which can reproduce the issue? i.e. no other plugins and mappings.

Example:

set nocp
filetype off
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Cmd2.vim      " your Cmd2 path here
filetype plugin indent on

let g:Cmd2_options = {
        \ 'loop_sleep': 0,
        \ }

nmap / /<F11>
cmap <F11> <Plug>(Cmd2Suggest)

Are you also using key settings for urxvt?

Do you think this can cause the problem?

[gelguy]

I am still unable to reproduce this in urxvt on Ubuntu with those settings.

Does this occur using another terminal emulator e.g. gnome-terminal?

[alem0lars]

No.

This is my configuration: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=06557182741859183912

[gelguy]

Please provide a minimal .vimrc which can reproduce this issue as opposed to your entire configuration.

As mentioned above, an example is:

set nocp
filetype off
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Cmd2.vim      " your Cmd2 path here
filetype plugin indent on

let g:Cmd2_options = {
        \ 'loop_sleep': 0,
        \ }

nmap / /<F11>
cmap <F11> <Plug>(Cmd2Suggest)

[gelguy]

Can you get the keycodes for the following keys using

:echo getchar()

Keys: Enter, Shift-Enter, Ctrl-Enter and Ctrl-j

[alem0lars]

Enter: 13 Shift-Enter: 13 Ctrl-Enter: 13 Ctrl-j: 10

[gelguy]

The keycodes are correct so it should not be a terminal setting issue.

The only idea I have left is that there is a cmap for <CR> which can be checked with verbose cmap <CR>.

Otherwise there might be another plugin interfering. This is why a minimal .vimrc is needed to troubleshoot. For a quick check you can comment out all the other plugins in your NeoBundle configuration and see if the bug still occurs. If so, then there is not plugin interfering. If it doesnt occur, then you can perform a binary search to see which plugin is causing the issue.

[alem0lars]

mmm..

:verbose cmap <CR> gives me:

c  <CR>        & <SNR>98__trigger_or_fallback("\<Enter>", "\<Return>")
        Last set from /etc/vim/bundle/vim-smartinput/autoload/smartinput.vim

[gelguy]

Issue is reproduced when using vim-smartinput.

Temporary fix at 15ead9c9aa54fbe50b9458878c53f9908b588483 on master.

The behaviour to drop the completion when handling cmaps was intentional, but now it does seem to do more harm than good.

Proper cmap handling will be done in a future version.

[alem0lars]

Wow, thanks.

I can confirm this is the issue and without the smartinput plugin it correctly works.

Also, if the plugin is updated to latest commit, it works with the smartinput plugin.

Thanks very much. Your support is (as always) Awesome!
