[Solved] How to set vim -R as a viewer for mc?

Hello!
I am trying to set vim in read only mode as a viewer for Midnight Commander.
I tried:
alias mc='VIEWER="vim -R" mc'
or
alias vimr='vim -R'
alias mc='VIEWER=vimr mc'
and more but without success.
So far the only successful approach was to:
- create shell script, e.g. vimr.sh containing "vim -R"
- create an alias using the script, i.e. alias mc='VIEWER=vimr.sh mc'
It works, but creating additional file doesn't seem to be optimal solution.
Is there a way to solve it using one-liner, or at least put all the config into .bashrc?

Thank you for your quick replies.
@alphaniner:
alias mc='VIEWER=vim\ -R mc'
does not work as intended - it launches vim but I am still able to modify viewed file, like -R had no effect
@WonderWoofy:
If you mean exporting variable like
export VIEWER='vim -R'
it has the same effect as described above. Additionally, it sets the viewer for all applications using that variable, which I would like to avoid.
Unfortunately this is not what I am looking for.

  • How to set "Read mode" as default view for a pdf?

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to open a pdf in "Read mode" (to get the floating toolbar) whenever an user open it in Acrobat Reader. Is there anyway to set this option in the pdf like "Open in full screen mode"?
    Or
    Can we add any little javascript to acheive this?
    Or
    Is there any other way to get the floating toolbar and add it into the pdf whenever we require?
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Muthuraj. D

    No. Read Mode is a choice made by the user, nothing in the document can force it to happen.
    There is no scripting or API access to the heads-up-display "floating toolbar".

  • [SOLVED] How to set the packager name for an AUR package?

    Hi,
       I'm maintaining an AUR package (fspcc), but I don't know how to set the name of the "packager" for that package.
    E.g. when you request info about some package
        $ pacman -Qi somepkg
    there is a line
        Packager: Unknown Packager
    that specifies the packager.
    How do I set this "Packager" info so that any user installing my package will see what I want?
    Last edited by lisztinf (2014-04-13 13:39:43)

    Thanks for the answer.
    I guess that when I run
       $ makepkg
    in my local build directory, then "mkpkg" will build a package with the "Packager" info set accordingly to my local makepkg.conf.
    However, I would like another user - with his own makepkg.conf - to see what I want when installing the package. How can I achieve this?
    If I install an official package - say pacman itself - through ABS, I see the "Packager" field properly set for that official package. But certainly this info doesn't come from my local makepkg.conf. I would like the same behaviour for my package. Is it possible?

    How I set my Q5 so that reminders (for appointments, etc.) are displayed on my home screen?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Swipe down from the top of your homescreen and select Settings>Notifications. Near the bottom you'll see in blue letters Lock Screen Settings. Click that and toggle Lock Screen Notifications to ON. Now whenever you have an appointment in your Calendar, it'll show up that day on your Lock Screen.

    I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work.<BR>As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.<BR><BR>HTH

    Hi Nitish Kumar,
    if you want to sort the table fields like ascending , Descending create one event ex: eh_on_sorting.
    in that get the event using thtmlb_event. then check whether sorting is necessary or not.
    then get the name of column to be sort by using tableview->column_key.
    based on that arrange the field ascending or descending using tableview->column_sort_directin.
    ascending or descending.
    then sort the collection using collection_wrappor->sort( lv_attrname .. etc).
    here is the sample code..
    data: lv_bo               type ref to if_bol_bo_property_access,
             lv_thtmlb_tableview type ref to cl_thtmlb_table_view,

  • How to set and resent reconcilation a/c for Assent a/c

    hi
    how to set and resent reconcilation a/c for Assent a/c
    amk

    You are permitted to post the recon account undercertain special circumstances :
    USe the transaction codes OAMK and OASV.
    Kindly read the SAP on line documentation before making a postings directly to the recon account.
    Definition of the Reconciliation Accounts
    You are not allowed to manually post to the reconciliation accounts for Asset Accounting in Financial Accounting. Normally, you designate the corresponding General Ledger accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts. This change, however, can no longer be made in Financial Accounting, once these accounts already have balances from the legacy data transfer. However, you can use a special report to assign these accounts the status of reconciliation accounts in Financial Accounting (in Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Set Reconciliation Accounts).
    There is another report for removing this specification (Reset Reconciliation Accounts).
    Subsequent Correction Postings to Reconciliation Accounts
    Suppose you have already defined the asset G/L accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts, but still need to transfer balances to these accounts, or make corrections. You can make correction postings to these reconciliation accounts with a special posting transaction in Customizing for Asset Accounting (Transfer Balances), using posting key 40 or 50. You can only postings to those accounts in a company code with implementation status (Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Activate Company Code).

  • How to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?

    Hello,
    Does anyone how to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?
    I tried listening for width/height property value changes and then adjust the width/height if necessary, but that causes unpleasant flickering of the window.
    In JavaFX 2.1 beta SDK for Mac OS, the Stage class has setMinWidth() and setMinHeight() functions which work very well.
    I'm wondering what's the equivalent way to do that when using the FX SDK for Windows.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I was wondering how to enforce a minimum stage size with JavaFX 2.0.3.The same flickering way you are currently doing it. See: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15200 "Need a way to set the minimum size of a window"

  • Without to change the setting.how to set the decimal place to 7 for an UDF.

    Without to change the setting, how to set the decimal place to 7 for an UDF?

    Hi
    Once you create a UDF it will automatically be binded to the data source of data type that you gave at the time of creating UDF.
    So i think you can not set the decimal places without changing the setting in display parameters.
    i am not sure whether it will work or not one thing you can try is that create it as a alphanumeric data type and convert your decimal value to sting and then assign it to UDF,While retrieving for any manipulation you convert it as decimal.
    Hope it helps you

  • How to set up an iPhone as PAN for MacBook Air

    I would like to know how to set up a Personal Area Network for my MacBookAir by using my iPhone.
    I successfully used Bluetooth to pair the two, according to the MacAir, but the iPhone never believed it and insisted that it had found no device to pair to.
    This is after it had presented the correct pairing number with the Mac.

    Create a folder on the external drive named "Music." Copy your /Home/Music/iTunes/ folder into the Music folder on the external drive.
    Now select the iTunes folder on the external drive. Hold down the COMMAND-OPTION keys then drag the iTunes folder icon to your Desktop. This should create an alias named, "iTunes alias." Open the /Home/Music/ folder on your internal hard drive. Drag the iTunes folder to the Trash but do not Empty the Trash. Copy the alias on the Desktop into the /Home/Music/ folder. Select the alias and press RETURN to edit the name. Delete the word, "alias" so that the alias is now simply "iTunes."
    Now open iTunes to verify that you are accessing your real iTunes data. If all is well you can Empty the Trash.
