Re: Access vim command from the lua end WAS: How do the default key commands work
It's not about remapping. I'm writing a vimscript in lua. In a function I need
the position of the opening and closing bracket. So in vim I would execute »%«
twice. Than I have both positions. If there would be functions for the basic
comands I just would execute the corresponding function. But apparently this
is not the case.
So I rephrase my question. How to access basic vim commands (here: %) from
inside lua? How to access an arbitrary vim function from inside lua?
Use the :normal command (probably with ! to avoid using user mappings).
E.g.
:lua vim.command"normal! %"
Then to get the cursor position, you can use the getpos() function. E.g.
:lua mypos = vim.eval"getpos('.')"
Or something like that (I don't know Lua, and don't have the interface
compiled in, so haven't tested; but this is the idea).
Smiles,
Ben.

Do you have to type fast on systems that you cannot customize? I sometimes have to type on other systems, but it does not matter whether I will type fast or not there.

DropBox has solved the SYNC problem. Please embrace it and make DropBox and VIM work as people WANT, not as developer's expect. While I suspect that's not what most vim users want, vim does already supply the ability to live dangerously without a net if you want. You can tweak the following options: :help 'updatetime' :h 'updatecount' :h 'swapfile' :h CursorHold So you can instruct vim to auto-save the swap-file every N seconds, every M keystrokes, or to not write a swap-file at all. This does open you to the possibility of writing data you *don't* want. You can see an example at http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Auto-save_current_buffer_periodically Another alternative: I know a number of folks on the list (myself included) who use vim within a session of "screen" so we can reattach not just a running session of vim, but any console applications from anywhere we have a SSH (or telnet, yuck) connection to our boxes. Not quite the same, but a very powerful tool to have in your arsenal.

Use setline() or first delete its contents and then paste your buffer in
there.

Use the normal dd command
or use the :d _ command
or use setline('.', '')

Use the append() or setline function calls.

position the cursor somewhere using cursor() or setpos(). Alternatively,
if you use setline() or append(), they take as argument, on which line
to operate.
