Open file name that is inside the register in Ex mode in Vim -


if have full path inside register(e.g. @a="/dir/file.txt") , want open file in ex mode.

i try :e @a that, doesn't work.

and try :e echo @a doesn't work either.

obviously can type :e ctrl-r a in ex mode, works.

but i'm wondering there way content of register in ex mode without use ctrl-r.

the :edit command takes file specification. there special characters (like % current file name; cp. :h cmdline-special), @reg notation not work here.

vim's evaluation rules different programming languages. need use :execute in order evaluate variable (or expression); otherwise, it's taken literally; i.e. vim uses variable name argument.

so, solution problem is

:execute 'edit' @a

if don't want special characters apply register contents, more robust (but longer) way is

:execute 'edit' fnameescape(@a)

c# - Check Keyboard Input Winforms -

i wondering if instead of doing this protected override void onkeydown(keyeventargs e) { if (e.keycode == keys.a) console.writeline("the key down."); } i set bool method , this: if(keydown(keys.a)) // whatever here i've been sitting here ages trying figure out how it. can't wrap head around it. in case wondering, plan call bool inside different method, check input. since want perform action after pressing key, using keydown event enough. but in cases suppose want check if specific key down in middle of process, can use getkeystate method way: [dllimport("user32.dll", charset = charset.auto, exactspelling = true)] public static extern short getkeystate(int keycode); public const int key_pressed = 0x8000; public static bool iskeydown(keys key) { return convert.toboolean(getkeystate((int)key) & key_pressed); } you should know, each time check key state using example iskeydown(keys.a) method returns true if ke...
