VIM Editor

lipbrd : Clipboard and other register content editor.

This is a continuation of vimscript #182 by Gergely Kontra, who has asked me to take over support and maintenance.  So if you have any questions or suggestions, please direct them to me.  Please read the description below as some enhancements have been made as well. Description:   This script allows you to use the tab key to do all your insert   completion (:help ins-completion).   Ex. To complete the word bar or baz     foo bar baz     b<Tab>   This version of SuperTab supports several configuration options:   NOTE: Please see the "Global Variables" fold in the script for more details.   - The default completion type (defaults to keyword completion)   - The duration that a non-default completion type will be retained before     switching back to the default (defaults to retaining the current     completion type until you manually kick off a different one).   - Disabling of mid-word (word character to the left and right) completion     (defaults to mid-word completion enabled).   - Ability to change the default mapping to kick off forward or backward     completion (defaults to <tab> and <s-tab>).   - A discovery list to determine the default completion type to use for any     given buffer (defaults to no discovery).   - Option to highlight the first entry in the results if your completeopt has     'menu' and 'longest'.

A guy I work with told me about a function that an old IBM text editor had that he said was useful, and that is to create folds in the file after a search such that every line that is visible contains the search pattern(except possibly the first). All lines that do not contain the search pattern are folded up to the last occurence of the pattern or the top of the file.  One use for such a function is to be able to make a quick and dirty api of a source file.  For example, if working in Java, you could run the function using the pattern "public|protected|private" and ithe results would be that only the method headers would be visible (well, close enough).  

to auto-indent a piece of code, highlight it in visual mode, and press =. To auto-indent the current line, press ==. Use gq to wrap the highlighted peice of text.

SuperTab: Makes all insert-mode completion done with tab. To use, simply press TAB while in edit mode. minibufexpl: Adds a buffer explorer to the top of Vim's window, simplifies working with buffers. taglist: A source code browser that works with many languages, including C/C++, Java, Python, Perl, PHP, ... vcscommand: SVN/CVS integration.

Applying substitutes to a visual block  tip karma   Rating 155/45, Viewed by 8082  Read and edit this tip on the Vim tip wiki. The wiki may have a more recent version of this tip. created:   March 28, 2001 8:26      complexity:   intermediate author:   Chip Campbell      as of Vim:   5.7 If you'd like to apply a substitute, or even any ex command, to a visual-block selected text region (ctrl-v and move), then you'll want Stefan Roemer's http://www.erols.com/astronaut/vim/vimscript/vis.vim .  Just source it in, and then press ":B".  On the command line you'll see :'<,'>BCtrl-V Just continue with the substitute or whatever... :'<,'>B s/abc/ABC/g and the substitute will be applied to just that block of text

RE: repeating action between marks >Say for example I'd like to indent the text between lines 10-20. I'd >like to use marks points to indicate the lines through which to >repeat the last action I performed on a single line (in this case an >indentation), how would I do that? >I know I could for example do some regex like this: >:'a,'bs/^/ / >and clearly I can do this with a visual selection. >but how could I repeat the last action I performed over two marks: >:'a,'b<something goes here to indicate 'repeat last action'> '&' is a good start. Eg, if I use a 's///' command on one line just to see if it works as expected, I can repeat it through the entire file with :g//& :.,$& :15,20& etc., and it'll redo the 's///' command on the rest of the file or whatever limits you impose. If you do a non-'s///' command, eg, ":10,30>" to indent lines instead, you can look for patterns, etc., and do things like :/beginpattern/,/endpattern/> too. Not quite sure if that's what you were asking about, but if not, just yell back...

Vim Outliner is a vim plugin that turns the powerful vim editor into a powerful outliner of the likes of GrandView, More and MaxThink. It is keyboarder friendly and very fast. If you can touchtype, you can outline as fast as you think.

description Several modern GUI editors list your open buffers as tabs along the top or bottom of your screen (VisualStudio, DreamWeaver, EditPlus and UltraEdit come to mind), now we have this feature in VIM! You can checkout a screenshot here: http://www.wavell.net/vim/vim_screenshot.gif. You can quickly switch buffers by double-clicking the appropriate "tab" (if you don't want to use the mouse just put the cursor on the "tab" and press enter). As you open and close buffers the tabs get updated. Buffers that are modified get visually marked and buffers that are open in a window get visually marked. The -MiniBufferExplorer- opens automatically when you open more than one eligible buffer (no need to open the explorer if you’re only editing one file.) -MiniBufExplorer- doesn't bother showing non-modifiable or hidden buffers. You can delete buffers by selecting them and pressing d on the keyboard.

I use Decho; its an instrumented-code type of debugging tool. You can get the Decho plugin from: http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=120 -or- http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#DECHO (this latter one is always the most up-to-date) To install if you're using vim7.1: 1. Install a new version of Decho: vim Decho.vba.gz :so % :q Regards, Chip Campbell

You're welcome. It turns out that it works if you set it like this: set cdpath+=C:/Documents\\\ and\\\ Settings/rpdooling or like this: let &cdpath = ",,,C:/Documents\\ and\\ Settings/rpdooling I don't understand why and I'm trying to find out from the vim mailing list, which is where that solution came from.

(requires vim7.0aa snapshot #188 or later) DrChip's cscope interface supports commands:     CS     [cdefgist]   : cscope     CSl[!] [cdefgist]   : locallist style (! restores efm)     CSs[!] [cdefgist]   : split window and use cscope     !            split vertically     c (calls)    find functions calling function under cursor     d (called)   find functions called by function under cursor     e (egrep)    egrep search for the word under cursor     f (file)     open the file named under cursor     g (global)   find global definition(s) of word under cursor     i (includes) find files that #include file named under cursor     s (symbol)   find all references to the word under cursor     t (text)     find all instances of the word under cursor

Change to the top level directory that contains your python source files, and do find -name '*.py' > cscope.files cscope -b

How can I work on VIM for python code such as cscope for C code?
