Hi friends...
How do I configure my vim-editor to write just 45 characteres (or other
measure) for each line? and How do I justify the text?, because I've see a lot of txt files that are justify...

thanks.

To write just 45 chars for each line add the following line to your ~/.vimrc:

set textwidth=45

Paulo Jorge Jesus Silva
perl -we "print 'paulojjs' . (reverse 'tp.letagarb@') . \"\n\""

Alternately to putting the command in your startup file, you may want to set the "textwidth" option manually for a file. Depends on how often you work with 45-column text files. If you're editing an existing file and you set that option, VIM won't automatically rearrange the characters so that there are only 45 per line. You'll probably want to write a script that will do that for you.

To justify text, you need to know a little VIM scripting (namely, how to use functions). There's a VIM script file called "justify.vim" (or something similar) in the "macros" folder somewhere in the VIM installation. If you run
that script, it'll set up the "Justify()" function and some useful user-defined commands like ":Justify" and "_j" that you can use. I've used this function, and I think it only works if you have the "lbr" option switched off (I'm talking about VIM 6.0 or above).

Okay, now that you've located the file "justify.vim," the rest should be easy. Just open the file you want to justify, run the script by entering ":so /usr/share/vim/vim61/macros/justify.vim" in VIM, and then you have several choices for running the actual justify command. To justify a single line, the command you should use is ":[line]Justify" where [line] is the line number of the line you want to justify. To justify the line you're on currently, just leave out [line]. To justify the entire file, press "_j." There are other options as well, which are well documented within the "justify.vim" file itself. Just open that file in VIM (using the ":e" command) and you'll see what I mean.

Hi...
your help have been so useful for me... I can set textwidth in any value
depend of the document in which i'm working.
But I can execute the macro justify, please help me with one little
sample... I located this macro at: "/usr/share/vim/vim61/macros/justify.vim"
I hope don't hurt you, so very thanks.
