You can also put this into your .vimrc:

    au BufReadPost *.ezt set syntax=html

Take a look at this [Vim wikia topic](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Forcing_Syntax_Coloring_for_files_with_odd_extensions). Some useful tips:

 - As other answers have mentioned, you can use the vim set command to set syntax. `:set syntax=&lt;type&gt;` where `&lt;type&gt;` is something like `perl`, `html`, `php`, etc.

 - There is another mechanism that can be used to control syntax highlighting called `filetype`, or `ft` for short. Similar to syntax, you give it a type like this: `:set filetype=html`. Other filetypes are `perl`, `php`, etc.

 - Sometimes vim &quot;forgets&quot; what syntax to use, especially if you&#39;re mixing things like php and html together. Use the keyboard shortcut &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;L&lt;/kbd&gt; (`&lt;C-L&gt;`) to get vim to refresh the highlighting.

To make it automatic, add this line to your `~/.vimrc`:

```
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.ezt set filetype=html
```

If you want to just do it for the current file, then type:

```
:set filetype=html
```

You could also substitute `syntax` instead of `filetype`, but [`filetype` affects more things than `syntax`][1] (including syntax highlighting, indenting rules, and plugins), so generally you should use `filetype` unless you only want to affect `syntax`.


  [1]: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Filetype.vim

Note that `:set syntax=xml` highlights properly but seems to fail when one is attempting to autoindent the file (i.e. running `gg=G`).  

When I switched to `:set filetype=xml`, the highlighting worked properly and the file indented properly.

In a .php file (or a html file), you could use a [Vim Modeline](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Modeline_magic) to force certain commands or settings:

     1 /* vim: syntax=javascript
     2  *
     3  * .submit_norefresh()
     ~
     ~

Assuming

    boolean a = false;

I was wondering if doing:
    
    a &amp;= b; 

is equivalent to

    a = a &amp;&amp; b; //logical AND, a is false hence b is not evaluated.

or on the other hand it means

    a = a &amp; b; //Bitwise AND. Both a and b are evaluated.





Does the Java &amp;= operator apply &amp; or &amp;&amp;?

I lately had the problem of creating add and edit dialogs for my wpf app.

All I want to do in my code was something like this. (I mostly use viewmodel first approach with mvvm)

ViewModel which calls a dialog window:

    var result = this.uiDialogService.ShowDialog(&quot;Dialogwindow Title&quot;, dialogwindowVM);
    // Do anything with the dialog result

How does it work?

First, I created a dialog service:

    public interface IUIWindowDialogService
    {
        bool? ShowDialog(string title, object datacontext);
    }

    public class WpfUIWindowDialogService : IUIWindowDialogService
    {
        public bool? ShowDialog(string title, object datacontext)
        {
            var win = new WindowDialog();
            win.Title = title;
            win.DataContext = datacontext;

            return win.ShowDialog();
        }
    }

`WindowDialog` is a special but simple window.  I need it to hold my content:

    &lt;Window x:Class=&quot;WindowDialog&quot;
        xmlns=&quot;http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation&quot; 
        Title=&quot;WindowDialog&quot; 
        WindowStyle=&quot;SingleBorderWindow&quot; 
        WindowStartupLocation=&quot;CenterOwner&quot; SizeToContent=&quot;WidthAndHeight&quot;&gt;
        &lt;ContentPresenter x:Name=&quot;DialogPresenter&quot; Content=&quot;{Binding .}&quot;&gt;
        
        &lt;/ContentPresenter&gt;
    &lt;/Window&gt;

A problem with dialogs in wpf is the `dialogresult = true` can only be achieved in code.  That&#39;s why I created an interface for my `dialogviewmodel` to implement it. 

    public class RequestCloseDialogEventArgs : EventArgs
    {
        public bool DialogResult { get; set; }
        public RequestCloseDialogEventArgs(bool dialogresult)
        {
            this.DialogResult = dialogresult;
        }
    }

    public interface IDialogResultVMHelper
    {
        event EventHandler&lt;RequestCloseDialogEventArgs&gt; RequestCloseDialog;
    }

Whenever my ViewModel thinks it&#39;s time for `dialogresult = true`, then raise this event.

    public partial class DialogWindow : Window
    {
        // Note: If the window is closed, it has no DialogResult
        private bool _isClosed = false;

        public DialogWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.DialogPresenter.DataContextChanged += DialogPresenterDataContextChanged;
            this.Closed += DialogWindowClosed;
        }

        void DialogWindowClosed(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this._isClosed = true;
        }

        private void DialogPresenterDataContextChanged(object sender,
                                  DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            var d = e.NewValue as IDialogResultVMHelper;

            if (d == null)
                return;

            d.RequestCloseDialog += new EventHandler&lt;RequestCloseDialogEventArgs&gt;
                                        (DialogResultTrueEvent).MakeWeak(
                                            eh =&gt; d.RequestCloseDialog -= eh;);
        }

        private void DialogResultTrueEvent(object sender, 
                                  RequestCloseDialogEventArgs eventargs)
        {
            // Important: Do not set DialogResult for a closed window
            // GC clears windows anyways and with MakeWeak it
            // closes out with IDialogResultVMHelper
            if(_isClosed) return;

            this.DialogResult = eventargs.DialogResult;
        }
     }

Now at least I have to create a `DataTemplate` in my resource file(`app.xaml` or something):

    &lt;DataTemplate DataType=&quot;{x:Type DialogViewModel:EditOrNewAuswahlItemVM}&quot; &gt;
            &lt;DialogView:EditOrNewAuswahlItem/&gt;
    &lt;/DataTemplate&gt;

Well thats all, I can now call dialogs from my viewmodels:

     var result = this.uiDialogService.ShowDialog(&quot;Dialogwindow Title&quot;, dialogwindowVM);

Now my question, do you see any problems with this solution?


Edit: for completeness. The ViewModel should implement `IDialogResultVMHelper` and then it can raise it within a `OkCommand` or something like this:

    public class MyViewmodel : IDialogResultVMHelper
    {
        private readonly Lazy&lt;DelegateCommand&gt; _okCommand;

        public MyViewmodel()
        {
             this._okCommand = new Lazy&lt;DelegateCommand&gt;(() =&gt; 
                 new DelegateCommand(() =&gt; 
                     InvokeRequestCloseDialog(
                         new RequestCloseDialogEventArgs(true)), () =&gt; 
                             YourConditionsGoesHere = true));
        }

        public ICommand OkCommand
        { 
            get { return this._okCommand.Value; } 
        }

        public event EventHandler&lt;RequestCloseDialogEventArgs&gt; RequestCloseDialog;
        private void InvokeRequestCloseDialog(RequestCloseDialogEventArgs e)
        {
            var handler = RequestCloseDialog;
            if (handler != null) 
                handler(this, e);
        }
     }

I&#39;ve just been given a requirement to prevent browsers from saving data entered into specific form fields. It&#39;s been years since I&#39;ve done web dev, and this is a relatively new capability.

I need to write a lot of class courses **presentations** to my programming class, and I constantly need to show **source code** (mainly **C** code).

![enter image description here][1]


I don&#39;t find a easy way to:

 1. Copy my **source code** from my editor (kate) and 
 2. Paste it formated and with source **highlighted** to an **Open Office Presentation** (OOP). 

What I use to do is a **snapshot** if the code is small, or to stop presentation and open Kate in the datashow if it is too big.

In this [other question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/281025/how-to-format-a-block-of-code-within-a-presentation) some suggest to embed **HTML** code. So I installed **QSource-Highlight** that easily **convert C code to HTML** (also gnu source-highlight, code2html, and so on). None of them can convert source code to a version of a highlighted **RTF** (rich text format), that would be another way to go.

Having HTML doesn&#39;t help, because I can&#39;t find a easy way to **insert HTML into a presentation** either. This site show a very trick windows [solution](http://www.fauskes.net/nb/syntaxms/). It needs to convert c code to HTML using an specific windows program that has an option to copy the HTML as RTF, after that you need to past the RTF in Word or Wordpad, and after that you special past RTF to PowerPoint. All good, but I&#39;m a **linux** user, and I think there might be a better way.

Also, there is another possible solution, installing **coooder** extension to openoffice. I don&#39;t know why, but trying to install this extension in my system gives me an error. Synaptic tell&#39;s me that openoffice.org-core and a lot of other should be marked. I click next, and it tells me it wants to remove all the packages, and that coooder needs this packages to work, and so it is not going to be installed. Well...

*I&#39;m using linux UBUNTU 10.04, and Open Office 3.2*

Thanks!

PS.:
This question is debated in [meta-so](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/85493/question-meta-question-meta-meta-question) as possible duplication of the question cited above. But it is my understanding that the older question doesn&#39;t solve this **specific** problem.

I&#39;d like to change the default font color for comments, which is dark blue to slightly yellow color. It is difficult to read on the black background. I&#39;m using xfce4-terminal, not gvim with GUI.

How do I change only this one color?

So far, I have changed the settings in my `~/.profile` file according to &quot;[256 colors in vim](http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/256_colors_in_vim)&quot; using:

    if [ -e /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color ]; then
            export TERM=&#39;xterm-256color&#39;
    else
            export TERM=&#39;xterm-color&#39;
    fi

and

    set t_Co=256

in `~/.vimrc`.

Eclipse highlighting the same occurrence of the word

Is there a text editor on Linux that allows me to see line breaks and carriage returns? Does Vim support this feature?


See line breaks and carriage returns in editor

I often work with text files which have a variable amount of whitespaces as word separators (text processors like Word do this, to distribute fairly the whitespace amount due to different sizes of letters in certain fonts and they put this annoying variable amount of spaces even when saving as plain text).

I would like to automate the process of replacing these sequences of whitespaces that have variable length with single spaces. I suspect a regex could do it, but there are also whitespaces at the beginning of paragraphs (usually four of them, but not always), which I would want to let unchanged, so basically my regex should also not touch the leading whitespaces and this adds to the complexity.

I&#39;m using vim, so a regex in the vim regex dialect would be very useful to me, if this is doable.

My current progress looks like this:

    :%s/ \+/ /g

but it doesn&#39;t work correctly.

I&#39;m also considering to write a vim script that could parse text lines one by one, process each line char by char and skip the whitespaces after the first one, but I have a feeling this would be overkill.

vim regex replace multiple consecutive spaces with only one space

Vim is my preferred text editor when I program, and thus I always run into a particularly annoying issue. 

Frequently, when I quickly need to save the buffer and continue on to some other miscellaneous task, I do the typical

    :w

However, I always&#160;— what seems to be like more than 50% of the time&#160;— manage to capitalize that&#160;`:w`. Naturally, Vim yells at me because `W` is an invalid command:
    
    E492: Not an editor command: W

My question is how can one **alias colon-commands in Vim**. Particularly, could you exemplify how to alias `W` to `w`.

I am aware of the process to *map keys* to certain *commands*, but that is not what I’m looking for.

How to create an alias for a command in Vim?

I have many lines containing the names of US Presidents Carter, Bush, Clinton, Obama. Some contain 1 of those names, some 2, some 3, some all 4 of them (in any order).

    :g/.*Carter\&amp;.*Clinton\&amp;.*Obama/p

I know how to search for Carter AND (Clinton OR Bush) -&gt;

    :g/.*Carter\&amp;$.*Clinton\|.*Bush$/p

(There are most certainly better ways to do that)

But I can&#39;t figure how to search (and I looked at the related questions), e.g., for Bush AND Clinton NOT Carter and even less how to search, e.g., for Bush AND Clinton NOT (Carter OR Obama).
