autohide doesn't work

[zordsdavini]

.vimrc

" Scratch
let g:scratch_autohide = 1
nmap <F2> :ScratchPreview<CR>

I just open Scratch by "gs", enter text and ESC – it goes back to my document and trying to close (hide) scratch, but I get error

Could you try adding set hidden to your .vimrc?

[zordsdavini]

That's the case. It helped.Thanks @mtth :+1:

[zordsdavini]

Sorry for reopening, but as I understand if scratch is the last unsaved buffer, it should be closed without saving, am I right? In my case it gives:

[mtth]

Do you have set nocompatible in your .vimrc? Could you paste the version of Vim you are using and your full configuration here?

[zordsdavini]

yes, it is (at the end of file): https://github.com/zordsdavini/dotfiles/blob/master/vimrc

and vim version: https://github.com/zordsdavini/dotfiles/blob/master/vim_version

[mtth]

I suspect that this is caused by these lines in your .vimrc:

try
  set switchbuf=usetab
  set stal=2
catch
endtry

Could you try commenting these out? If this doesn't work, could you comment the pathogen#infect line as well?

[zordsdavini]

it looks like problem is solved. Even I reverted changes with this try... I got it working. Maybe last time have not fully restarted vim. Nice job, thank you, @mtth

Hi Matthieu,

First off, thank you for the plugin. It is very useful and the key binding makes using it lightning fast.

I however does not manage to make autohide work. When I go to another window I do not have an error but the scratch buffer does not hide.

My vimrc and the output of vim --version.

vim --version

The result of :echo g:scratch_autohide is 1 and I have set hidden.

Any ideas would could be the cause of this issue?

[mtth]

@ebouchut - I don't see anything obvious in your configuration that would conflict. Could you disable your plugins and see if it works then?

[ebouchut]

Thank you for the feedback. Sure, I will do that and let you know.

[ebouchut]

For whatever reason it works now. Probably due to a configuration change on my side or I did not reloaded things correctly. Thanks.

[mtth]

@ebouchut - great; thanks for the update!
