Finally I'm hacking!

Yep, the exam month is over, and I'm finally hacking on Vim. I have already gotten one patch accepted (albeit a simple one). It was for this bug:

  • When setting 'keymap' twice the b:keymap_name variable isn't set. (Milan Berta, 2007 Mar 9) Has something to do with 'iminsert'.

You can read the patch here.

Now I'm hacking on a another bug (it's more like a feature addition, though). At the moment it's only possible to setup three highlight patterns (see :help :match) in Vim, and my goal is to remove this limitation. Moreover, as the feature is mostly used by scripts, the "n-patterns-enabled" matching will be implemented as functions instead of commands.

A picture from where it's all happening:

Happy hacking!
