Re: Code completion suggestions...
On 4/20/06, Bram Moolenaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Eric Van wrote: Code Completion suggestion. Ok, first a little context. I currently have a project which provides an interface for vim to invoke commands via system() calls which are executed in a headless eclipse instance. I use this interface to provide code completion for java source files and ant build files, which both work great. My issue comes into play when I attempt to provide completion info (for display in the new completion preview window in vim). Retrieving this extra info can result in a lot of extra processing on the eclipse side and depending on the size of the completion set, can dramatically affect the performance. Most of this should already be possible using complete_add() and complete_check(). See below :help complete-items. Unfortunately not, since I'm using a system() call, so I get all the results at once. So, I propose a means to lazily retrieve info for a completion. Basically it should be like a CursorHold, but in the context of the completion popup. If the user stops on a completion for some determined amount of time, vim should then, ideally, spawn off a thread to retrieve the info for that completion and display it in the completion preview. I think it is key to do this retrieval in an asynchronous way so as not to prevent the user from moving to the next completion or performing some other action. Using threads is a difficult thing to do in a portable way. Vim is build with threads in some situations (e.g., when using the Python interface) and this often causes problems. On some systems threads are not possible. That's probably fine since retrieving the info for a single completion should be quick... it's retrieving info for many that can be slow. To accomplish this, I also suggest that the means for defining how completion is to be handled, be modified. Currently completion is defined as follows: setlocal completefunc=3DSomeFunction With a single function function SomeFunction (findstart, base) Instead of defining a single function, I propose that a script be defined instead: setlocal completescript=3Dfoo/bar/mycompletion.vim Where the script is located via the autoload directory and contains the following functions (of which the first 2 are required, and the third is optional) find the column in the current line where the completion starts function foo#bar#FindCompletionStart () find the list of completions given the supplied base. function foo#bar#FindCompletions (base) find additional info for the completion at the supplied index within the current completion results function foo#bar#FindCompletionInfo (index) If implemented in this fashion, you gain a few advantages: 1. Completion info is only retrieved for completions that the user chooses to view and not for the possibly many others for which the retrieval would have been completely wasted. This will break the use of the completion menu. It's better to have all possible completions, so that the user knows how many possibilities there are. Since Vim checks if the user typed something while it's still searching this should not be a disadvantage. Maybe I didn't explain this correctly... I would expect the flow to be - User hits C-XC- O or U - vim executes foo#bar#FindCompletionStart instead of CompletionFunction(1, '...') The starting column of the completion is returned. - vim executes foo#bar#FindCompletions('...') instead of CompletionFunction(0, '...') The FULL list of completions is retuned, but in this case the 'info' attribute of the contained dictionaries is empty (since they would be lazily retrieved later, only when needed) - User stops on a completion for a determined amount of time - vim then executes foo#bar#FindCompletionInfo(index), where index is the index of completion the user paused on. - vim displays the that info in the preview window When using netbeans or eclipse this lazy loading of the 'info' text is very apparent (especially in netbeans). As you navigate down the completion menu, the info loads only after you have paused on an entry (eclipse in about half a second, netbeans in about a second and a half). 2. More optional functions could be added to this completion script in the future without breaking compatibility with previous releases. While I'm at it another suggestion I have would also to be to add another function to my proposed script paradigm: function foo#bar#FindCompletionEnd () Which would find the ending column of the word to be replaced by the completion. So if I am have the following ('|' denoting the cursor position): List mylist = ... mylist.ad|d( The 'd' after the cursor position could be replaced when I choose amongst my choices of 'add' or 'addAll', instead of having to

RFC: (x)html completion support in Vim7
Hello, I am author of (x)html completion scripts and related (php, css, javascript). I'd like to ask what you think it should like. At the beginning I was pushing for one default: XHTML 1.0 Strict. Bram didn't like it and now there are two: fot ft='html' HTML 4.01 Transitional and for ft=='xhtml' XHTML 1.0 Strict (user can still choose another version with b:html_omni_flavor variable - this improvement may be not yet in snapshot/cvs/svn). Bram still doesn't like it. According for him completion should be more flexible and not limited to some standard. For me it defies whole idea of omni-completion - completion suggestions should be precise. Problem with (X)HTML is there are many standards but creation of messy compilation from them has no sense. Vim is superb program and should support writing of good code - according to standards. To make this support full it could look: - provide data files for most of (X)HTML standards: - HTML 3.2 Strict (for legacy pages) - HTML 4.0 Transitional - HTML 4.0 Strict - HTML 4.0 Frameset - HTML 4.01 Transitional - HTML 4.01 Strict - HTML 4.01 Frameset - XHTML 1.0 Transitional - XHTML 1.0 Strict - XHTML 1.0 Frameset - XHTML 1.1 That is 11 data files, ca. 45kB each (5kB packed) - total 500 kB (55kB) Add functions for detection of DOCTYPE to ftplugins for xhtml and html. Still there is usability problem for creation of new files. Maybe some general completion for insertion of DOCTYPE and setting appropriately completion. TIA for comments. m.

That's the way that netrw used to always work; the fastbrowse stuff is relatively recent, and to implement it netrw deliberately wipes out netrw buffers that aren't being currently displayed. So, its a trade-off for users to make. Hidden (ie. :ls won't display netrw buffers), but available, thereby making fast re-displays of previously seen directory listings. Also makes the jumplist useful. Versus: re-acquisition of a directory listing every time a directory is entered, so netrw's directory listing is up-to-date as of the display time (cursor leaving/entering will also cause netrw to update browser displays), but the jumplist is forgetful.

Re: Vim7 mouse cursor focus freaking
On 4/20/06, Bram Moolenaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Eric Arnold wrote: Certain things seem to cause Vim7 to do go into some odd loop when the mouse moves the cursor into a different window. So far I've seen it when 1) I've got the command line edit window open, and the mouse moves the cursor to another window (usually happens when I switch away from Vim and back). Something is flashing non-stop in the lower right of the command line (probably some mouse string, but it's a bunch of unreadable chars). The input focus doesn't actually change away from the command edit window (typing stuff goes there). In what way does the mouse moves the cursor to another window? Do you mean you click there? Yes, I mean that I do something that moves the mouse, either inside Gvim, or moving to another MSwin application and back. I don't have to *click* in another window, as I have 'mousefocus' on. 2) when I have tabline set to my own function, it interacts with taglist and other specialized buffers (which have non-standard autocommands, among other things). Sometimes C-C will stop the looping until the mouse moves the cursor agai= n. It might have something to do with the way Vim is re-setting the cursor position to the lower right of the screen sometimes, even though the input focus remains in the correct window. Does this only happen when you have a taglist window open? No, but it goes particularly wild when I do. Otherwise, I get occasional flickers of odd [mouse input?] chars in the lower right (where it displays Normal commands in progress), and it takes several seconds to deliver focus to the window the mouse is moved to. Sometimes the mouse warps to the lower right of the screen regardless of what window I move the mouse to. (This stuff happens without having the command line edit window open.) I'm wondering if part of this is related to the problem discussed earlier where the tabline function gets called too often (with respect to the constant flow of spurious input, though the spurious mouse warping doesn't seem related). Note that when the command line window is open, the cursor is not allowed to go to another window. You must finish typing the command first. If it does go to another window there is a problem that needs to be fixed. No, it doesn't go to another window, but it does get that constant stream of spurious Normal (??) input as long as the mouse isn't positioned over the command line window. Is this in GUI or console Vim? GUI, MSWin. The xterm I'm using doesn't have any focus differentiation between Vim windows inside VIm.

TabLineSet.vim adds information to the default tabline format that shows buffers per tab, buffer numbers, etc. If you want to send buffers between tabs, I uploaded WinWalker.Vim a few days ago which does a nice job with this. I'm not sure how to mix and match fold methods...

The UserFileComplete() is a function from genutils.vim, so you need that plugin, or copy the relevant code from it into your vimrc. -- HTH, Hari __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Is there a nice way to do this? Reading :help find and :help path would make one think the preceding is doable, but I have never succeeded!

Re: Best Way to open a file in a directory tree?
We need an alternate index into the help doc.s for stuff like this that's too useful not to know. This falls under the category of I read that section, but it didn't register in my brain. Sadly, I suspect you'd need a digest for every help page :-/ More questions: the 'path' option seems to allow even more interesting stuff, but only for 'gf' and the like. Is there a way to have the :e ...tab completion use the 'path'? It would be cool to have dual upward/downward recursive completion (although I can't seem to get it to work as I expected with 'gf' either).

For me, it uses the current directory to suggest completions but not the 'path' -- am I doing something wrong? No. The command-line file name completion doesn't search for file names from the directories set in the 'path' option. You can use the following function and command: function! FindFileFn(ArgLead, CmdLine, CursorPos) let pat = a:ArgLead .
