Re: Feature/plugin dependency checks in plugins
Hi, > What is the best practice when a plugin needs a minimum version of > Vim with certain features, or on some other plugin? 1- I try to document the identified requirement 2- I provide emulation of new features I use when this is possible. See for instance https://github.com/luchermitte/lh-vim-lib/blob/master/autoload/lh/list.vim 3- Regarding the dependency to other plugins I usually expect the plugin I depend on to be up-to-date. And I provide the dependencies in the documentation of my plugin. I also highly recommend people to use plugin managers that understand dependencies (like VAM or vim-flavor). But I'm perfectly aware that people usually fancy plugin managers that download multiple plugins in parallel or have some other smooths feature. Personally I'm mainly interested in dependencies management. BTW, version requirements can be expressed with vim-flavor. > Do you check > for the version (and if so how) or do you check for some each > feature or for some feature which is indicative that the others > exist too? Is it best to check when the plugin is loaded or in > each function which needs a certain feature? What do you do when > the requirements aren't met --- issue a warning/error message or > just silently do nothing? "Ignore" or "error" when the plugin file is loaded. But definitively "error" when a plugin feature is triggered and that the requirements are not met. It depends on whether the plugin is critical or not. And whether it could be a non-critical dependency on some other plugin. For instance, my refactoring plugin implements a refactoring that depends on a plugin (lh-tags) that depends on ctags. It also implements other refactoring. I don't want to notify the end user that lh-tags cannot be used because ctags is not installed just because lh-tags is automatically installed (VAM) when the refactoring plugin is installed. > My preference is definitely to issue a > message, but I'm concerned that it may be too noisy and get lost > if it is issued at loading time. > There is also the concern that if > you are using a plugin manager some other plugin which you depend > on may not be loaded yet even though it eventually will be. My plugin manager updates the runtimepath before any file from plugin/ is sourced. Then the dependencies are mainly done through autoloaded function. In case I depend on a mapping or a command, I explicitly source the files that defines it with :runtime. HTH -- Luc Hermitte -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

In my lh-vim-lib [1] library plugin I provide two sets of tools - log functions [2] that can fill the qf window with the log messages automatically -- other logging frameworks fail to automatically link to the line where the log is emitted - assert functions [3] for doing some design by contract.

No, it's not.
Autoload plugins aren't expected to have an anti-inclusion guard. Beside, plain
plugins are loaded **after** the .vimrc file has been sourced.
What you can do instead is to check whether the file exists with
if !empty(globpath(, 'autoload/smooth_scroll.vim'))
nnoremap ...
This needs to be done **after** your plugin manager has kicked in to fill the
`` option.

If speed is really that important, get rid of the loop and use something like
return !empty(filter(bufferList, "getbufvar(v:val, '')"))
or, in a single step:
return !empty(filter(range(1, bufnr('$')), "buflisted(v:val) &&
getbufvar(v:val, '')"))

Re: Handling differences in different plugins for the same type of operation
Hi,

There is an embryo of documentation on the subject which I see is not up-to
date :(
If you open the files in autoload/lh/refactor/{ft}.vim, you should see plenty
examples.
An important point, the Extract-Method refactoring relies on ctags, and I need
to work on it as I remember there is a pending bug.
> I'd like Python and Go support specifically if at all possible.
I don't know Go. In Python I only have Extract-Variable and a likely bugged
Extract-Method -- I can't remember the last time I've using it.
But honestly, I suspect you'll have far better results with the two other
plugins dedicated respectively to Python and to Go.
Currently, I'm spending my energy on other but sometimes related topics:
- https://github.com/LucHermitte/lh-style/
- and https://github.com/LucHermitte/lh-vim-lib/blob/master/doc/Project.md

Remembering three different mappings for refactoring and > when each one applies steal my focus from what i would like to do. I can only speak for vim-refactor that I'm maintaining. Two things, the plugin tries to be as generic (i.e. language independent) as possible, and if your language isn't supported it could be added. However, this is a generic and vim based plugin. Dedicated plugins that rely on external tools will certainly do a better job. The languages currently supported are the ones I'm working with (C++ and family, vim, and bash essentially) Also, back to your concern, the mappings can be remapped as they are all `mappings` (1). However, they all work in two steps: first we extract, then we go manually where the extracted thing should be defined and we paste it there. I don't know how the extract-refactorings from the other plugins are meant to be used. BTW, I'm becoming confident that the future of vim-refactor, and some other plugins, will be to leave its/their place to plugins compatible with Language Server Protocol.

Re: When I using dictionary, how can I add items using my input order?
Hi, You can't, dictionaries are just hash tables, there is no ordering you can count upon. You'll have either to record a list of the keys in the order you desire, or give up on the big dictionary and use a list instead -- either a list of lists, or a list of dictionaries. If you don't need the dictionary for anything else, no need to extract all the information. You should be able to achieve your result the following (which would be more efficient BTW, but I doubt you'd perceive any difference on real code) let lines = filter(getline(1, '$'), 'v:val !~ "^\\s*$"') call map(lines, 'substitute(v:val, "^\\s*", "", "")') let names = map(copy(lines), "substitute(v:val, '\\s*[;,].*$', '', '')") let newlines = map(copy(names), '"reg ila_".v:val.";"') call setline(curr_line, newlines) HTH, -- Luc Hermitte -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

Re: Do you use in your plugin mappings?

I do use in my plugins. But only if the user doesn't override the
default keybinding with his own. I rely on mappings to do so.
If the user report the error, well we need to explain her/him what can be done
to silence the error. The user has to make a choice which we cannot do for
her/him: either to continue with the keybinding defined in the .vimrc or
provided in another plugin, or to choose another keybinding for our plugin.
In my ftplugins, I've used ged mappings a few times, but I'm not
sure this is the best thing to do.
Which reminds me in a few places I've replaced with another approach
that issues a less intrusive warning.
It's used with:
nnoremap TogglePreviewIfHold :Toggle Cpreview_if_hold
call lh#mapping#plug({'lhs': 'tpw', 'rhs':
'TogglePreviewIfHold'}, 'n')
With lh#mapping#plug being defined over there:

A few:
- you've forgotten the `dict` attribute
- if your version of vim is to old, `function('s:funcname')` won't work.
- you still have a useless and undesired anti-reinclusion guard in your
autoload plugin

That seems normal. trigger#new()['setup'] cannot be updated without calling
new() again.
My take on the subject: never define methods this ways. Prefer to define a
s:method and bind it in the constructor/creator function with
let new_obj.method_name = function('s:method_implementation')
First it'll allow reloading. But also, it'll improve greatly debugability.
I've written more on the subject on SO:

Re: standard way include plugin as a dependency of another plugin
Hi,
(Sorry, it seems I've deleted the original message, and I'm not answering to
the mail I should be answering to).

There is no standard way of proceeding. Also there are two sides to the
question:
1- making sure what we depend upon is installed;
2- making sure what we depend upon is defined.
Beside the actual answer will depend on what you are actually depending upon.
1- Regarding availability
a- Most people simply document the dependency(/ies), and it's up to the
end-users to make sure every dependency is properly installed.
In all cases, I consider that **documenting is mandatory**.
b- Some will use git submodules to make this as simple as possible.
The only, and main disadvantage, as Lifepillar said, is that a plugin may be
installed several times. An incorrectly written plugin may even duplicate
events. We could also experience very tricky bugs when several versions of a
same plugin are installed.
IMO, this is not a good solution.
c- A few of us are specifying the dependencies for the only two plugin managers
that support dependencies. I even go further and advocate their use.
Unfortunately, the popular plugin managers are the simple ones, which don't
understand dependencies so far.
The only two plugin managers that support dependencies (and that I'm aware of
at this moment) are:
- VAM: https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-manager (through vim-py)
- VimFlavor: https://github.com/kana/vim-flavor
Even if you're not using them, nor expect to ever use them, I highly recommend
that you specify the dependencies of your plugin for these two plugin managers.
IOW, you'll have to define an addon-info.json file and a VimFlavor file --
unfortunately they don't share a common syntax. :(
You'll find plenty examples in my plugins. See for instance:
https://github.com/LucHermitte/lh-brackets
d- Vim 8 packages don't solve anything. We can still have multiple versions of
a same plugin installed (which is clumsy and bad), and they are not able to
automatically install the dependencies.
If there was a notion of "environment" like we have in Python or conda, or of
"sandbox" like with Haskell or nix, then may be we could have multiple packages
that contain different versions of a same plugin. So far and AFAIK, this is not
the case. Hence my current stance.
2- Regarding "sourcing"
a- Before Vim7, we had to source plugins where global functions, mappings,
abbreviations, command, etc. were defined.
A simple way was to check for something we need, and if it isn't detected as
defined, then we explicitly source the dependency.
if ! exists('*SomeGlobalFunction')
runtime plugin/MyDependencyThatDefineSomeGlobalFunction.vim
if ! exists('*SomeGlobalFunction')
echoerr "WARNING: MyDependencyThatDefineSomeGlobalFunction isn't
installed. MyFooBar plugin is disabled. Please see "
endif
endif
Or if you don't care about sourcing something that may have already been
sourced, you could simply type:
runtime plugin/MyDependencyThatDefineSomeGlobalFunction.vim
if ! exists('*SomeGlobalFunction')
echoerr "WARNING: MyDependencyThatDefineSomeGlobalFunction isn't installed.
MyFooBar plugin is disabled. Please see "
endif
You could also check the plugin version in case it stores its version number in
its `g:loaded_MyDependencyThatDefineSomeGlobalFunction` header-gate variable.
This has been described in another answer.
(In case of definitions done in filetype plugins, what we had to do was a
little bit trickier)
b- Now, we are past Vim 7. Vim 7 has introduced autoload plugins and their
autoloaded functions.
Modern plugins will use autoload plugin files to store their functions. Most of
the time this is just to speedup the starting time. Sometimes, this is because
some of us are aware this is the best way to define libraries.
This time instead of checking whether a particular symbol is defined in order
to source on the fly, we simply call the autoloaded functions. Given their
name, foo#bar#func(), Vim will know that if the function doesn't exist then it
must execute `:runtime foo/bar.vim`. If the function still doesn't exist, Vim
will issue an error message.
Sometimes, you'll see a few issues from the users, of your plugin, that have
skipped the installation procedure you have described in your plugin
documentation.
Of course if you're not trying to execute a function defined in an autoload
plugin file, you're back to square 2.a-.

Re: How to determine what a "bare-bones" vim is for a plugin
Hi, > Some plugin authors understandably require that any issue reports to > be reproducible on a "bare-bones" vim. [...] > > So, in general, given a plugin, how does one determine what is the > "bare-bones" vim it's author has assumed? As a plugin author, I find legit issues related to incompatibilities with other plugins. However, I do need to know what other plugins are installed. Even better if you (end-user) are able to determine which plugin is incompatible with mine, it's even better. First because this will permit me to quickly converge to a solution. But also this will permit me to make sure: either this won't happen again, or this will permit me to add a few words on the subject in my plugin documentation. However, if the issue is related to `:map-`, well I'd rather see my end-users aware able to solve this by themselves, but yet I know that sometimes I need to explain them what they can do. What you need to see, is that most of us expect you to investigate by yourself what causes the issue, or what scenario permits to reproduce it. In other words, it's your job to determine the Minimum Working Example. From there if you're able to say "setting xxx" or "installing yyy" cause incompatibilities, well you'll have done a good job. One from which we could work efficiently on your issue. Of course, the issue could be completely unrelated to other plugins... That's where the exact scenario that permits to reproduce the issue is important. -- Luc Hermitte -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!

New plugins are loaded through a plugin manager (VAM). In order to not add mess in all sessions, I simply Activate manually the Addons where I test them. Regarding the maintenance of core plugins that may impact every other plugins (that's the case with my lh-vim-lib library plugin). I do branches and I don't reload the (auto/ft/0)plugin in the session I use to maintain my vim scripts. However I load and reload plugins either manually, or by restarting my (g)vim testing sessions if the changes are to complex. If I need to revert to a stable situation, I just need to checkout the stable branch. I also have unit tests where I check the result of vim functions, and integrated test where I execute more complex sequences and check the state of my buffer afterwards. The unit tests can be executed from within a vim session [1]. The integrated tests are executed with vimrunner and a small addition that enable me to check the results on travis -- which permits me to check the behaviour of my plugin of a old vim 7.3-429. I guess that instead of fighting with $HOME, you could also use Vim 8 packages. In "normal" sessions, load the default package, in test sessions, load sessions associated to the plugins being modified. IMO vim already has everything we need on this topic. Of course we also need a clear workflow that takes advantage of this. [1] https://github.com/LucHermitte/vim-UT -- Luc Hermitte -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.

It looks like functions defined on dictionaries (1), instead on functions added
later on the dictionary (2).
(1) :function dict.fname()
(2) :function s:fname() dict
:let dict.fname = function('fname')
If not the name, you can access the function definition with
:function {42}
See :h anonymous-function

I don't know the filetype your snippet is for, let's say it's "foobar". Create a "template/foobar" directory under the vimfiles/ directory in your $HOME (%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% in windows). In your $HOME/vimfiles/template/foobar, create a file named openr.template, it should get filed with default mu-template boilerplate settings. Then, add what you want in your template file. If you keep the default VimL: let s:marker_open = '<+' VimL: let s:marker_close = '+>' Your can define placeholders with "<++>", or "<+placeholdername+>". It's even possible to accept parameters that can be injected from other snippets, or programmatically. (see :h s:Params()).

I have a ersatz that doesn't work as well as I would like. One of the main issue comes from ctags poor understanding of C++: it's quite difficult to list properly all local variables and types. I know I could do things correctly thanks to clang, but I don't really have the time to do it. Note that it'll be quite important to be able to specify how out and in/out data are exchanged (reference parameter, returned values (tuples, struct...), attribute, and so on), and how arguments could be bound to parameters. In all cases, I'd like the tool to respect the current project coding style (Note that I may open several windows/buffers with different coding styles.

I may also want the extraction to follow Almost Auto Policy if C++11 is detected. Regarding smart code completion, we already have YouCompleteMe.

When you open a second or a third file, the .vimrc isn't read anymore. .vimrc settings are meant to be global settings that can apply to anything. When we want dedicated settings, this is best done in ftplugins (when the variability is over the filetype). If it's over projects/directories, check for one of the local_vimrc plugins.

Dynamic completion
Hi
I'm trying to enhance an old completion function. I'd like it to update the
choices displayed in the popup menu as I type new characters
My completion function is
function! lh#icomplete#ecm(findstart, base) abort
if a:findstart
let l = getline('.')
let startcol = match(l[0:col('.')-1], '\v\S+$')
if startcol == -1
let startcol = col('.')-1
endif
" let g:debug+= ["findstart(".a:base.") -> ".(startcol)]
return startcol
else
" let g:debug += ["matching(".a:base.")"]
let words = ['un', 'deux', 'trois', 'trente-deux', 'unité']
let matching = filter(words, 'v:val =~ a:base')
" return { 'words' : words}
return { 'words' : words, 'refresh' : 'always'}
endif
endfunction
That I use with
:set completefunc=lh#icomplete#ecm
and
:inoremap µ
>From my understanding of the documentation, the fact I use , I go into
>the "third state" (according to |ins-completion-menu|), and when I type "any
>printable, non-white character" I should be able to "Add this character and
>reduce the number of matches."
When I type in insert mode "uµ", the completion menu pops-up as expected.
Alas when I type 'x' (just after the 'µ'), I'm out of completion mode and "ux"
is what I have in mu buffer.
What did I do wrong or missed in the documentation?
NB: I've seen that without "refresh=always", result are filtered, except I'd
like to call the function again in order to apply a custom filter.
Regards,
(Just in case, I'm using gvim 7.4-908)

lh-brackets combines surrounding and pair-insertion. Surrounding with a pair of
bracket-like characters is meant to be ergonomic. You want to surround with
'()'? Just hit '(' -- defaults can be overridden, extended, ...
https://github.com/LucHermitte/lh-brackets
surround plugin, also provides a surrounding feature. This time the keybindings
is more in the line of vim way of doing things regarding operator-pending
mappings: ysiw) (if I'm not mistaken)

Interesting. This is really neat.

With mu-template, I had to add a hook in order to load project-specific
settings (defined with plugins like local_vimrc) before the newbuffer event is
trigerred. The typical application is to define project root-directory, to
deduce header guards in C/C++, or the base class name in OP's case.
Out of curiosity, does tskeleton support template-file inclusions ? Because of
the before/after sections, I'd say no -- as they imply some complexity if we
want to support things like a switch-snippet that loads the case-snippet for
every value from an enumeration. (that's not impossible, but that requires a
lot of context pushespops)

manipulation of multi-byte strings
Hello,
I'm in the process on upgrading my scripts to support multi-byte strings.
I've identified a few needs for now:
- a mbyte strlen
- a get-at(pos) operator
Regarding string length, |strlen()| recommends to play with substitute(),
however I see strwidth() that seems to do the work, is there a reason that this
is not the recommended way ?
Regarding [] alternative, matchstr('.\{'.pos.'}\zs.\ze') does the job (for pos
0). Is there a better way to proceed ?

diff and synchronisation
Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to know the set of matching lines when in
diff mode (after a ]c)
After a ]c (/[c), I've first tried to go from one window to the other, but then
the cursor is not on the same lines in the two (or more) synched windows.
I've quickly discarded any solution where I could directly play with ln =
line('.') ; focus on next window ; l2 = getline(ln) as the diffed buffers
won't have the same number of lines.
Then, I've noticed that both windows have their first line synchronized. I
though at first I could directly use ln = winline() ; ^Ww ; exe 'normal
'.ln.'H'. Unfortunately, winline() counts the fake lines than are introduced
by diff-mode, while H works on actual lines, ignoring the fake ones.
So, is there a solution other than iteratively moving down until both winline()
results are equal ?
NB: I'm trying to solve this puzzle:
http://superuser.com/questions/145940/vimdiff-jump-to-next-difference-inside-line
The current, incomplete and not working code is:

:cn\cr)
function! s:NextDiff()
if ! diffopt =~ 'filler' | return | endif
let ignore_blanks = diffopt =~ 'iwhite'
Assert: called just after a ]c or a [c
Forces the cursors to be synchronized in all synced windows
let diff_l = line()
let w_l = winline() problematic with ignored lines (from diff...)
echomsg w_l.'|'.line('.').'|'.getline('.')
let lines = {}
windo if diff | exe 'normal! '.w_l.' H' | let lines[winnr()]=getline('.') |
endif
echomsg string(lines)
if len(lines) 2 | return | endif
let indices = repeat([0], len(lines))
let tLines = values(lines)
let found = 0
while ! found
let c = ''
let next_idx = []
let i = 0
while i != len(indices)
let crt_line = tLines[i]
let n = indices[i]
let c2 = (len(crt_line) == n) ? 'EOL' : crt_line[n]
if empty(c)
let c = c2
endif

let n += 1
if c =~ '\s'

ANN: refactor v0.1.0 released
Hello, I've just released a first version of a generic refactoring suite for Vim. http://code.google.com/p/lh-vim/wiki/lhRefactor Today the following refactorings are supported: - extract variable (on v_CTRL-X_v) - extract type (on v_CTRL-X-t) - and extract function (on v_CTRL-X_f) This version mainly focuses on the languages I'm working with on a daily basis, i.e. C++ (and by extension C), and VimL. However, it can be extended quite easily to other languages -- some customizations are also provided for Pascal (I've an interactive extract function), bash and perl. Plenty examples are available in the source code, and in the documentation. This suite requires the following: - lh-vim-lib v2.2.0: my library of VimL functions - and lh-map-tools v1.0.0: my bracketing system, or more precisely the placeholder subsystem. Future developments are likely to: - Propose a simple way to use mu-template from a hook, and exchange variables with it. - Propose other refactorings (I have a few ideas regarding a move class methods around, extract interfaces, etc based on the :Override feature I've already implemented in lh-cpp). - Have extract function determine automagically the parameters of the extracted function. - And may be to provide customized hooks for other languages (don't hesitate to participate).

I think you'd better have a look at template-files expanders.
You have a non exhaustive list on vimtips:

In case I haven't fully understood your need, and that you have a pre-existing
file and want to surround its contents by namespace { ...}, there also exist
a few solutions that does that.
The keyword (for vim.wikia, vim.org, google, etc) is surround. Regarding
namespace and C++, I have my suite that provides a ,ns mapping to enclose the
visual selection within a namespace.

The background compilation in BTH exists the way it does in order to do a few

- it removes the temporary file once read,
- it executes hooks of the quickfix windows if any where defined (syntax
coloring)
- it permits to configure the desired maximum size for the qf window.

Which will still miss classes, I suppose (but it wouldn't be too
difficult to add class, struct and union to the regex).
I'll also have to install ctags, since it's not present on this
machine.
All tags in ctags results have a kind: class, struct, union, function,
prototype, ...
However, indeed you'll have to install ctags (which will grant you access to
several features of my C++ ftplugin suite for vim ^^')

I've enough experience with the issues that I could hack up a
quick parser in C++ which would return the correct position.
The only question then is how to get vim to use it. The idea,
basically, would be to invoke the program with the current
line number as a parameter, and the buffer on standard in, let
it do the search, and output the target line number. But how to
integrate this into vim?
Writing the C++ parser will be much more complex than integrating its results
in vim.
There are several ways to proceed:
- if the parser produces a tags compatible file, then calls to taglist('.') +
filter()map() will return the list of line where the function are. The parser
will need to be called with something like :!$PARSER %:p.
- if the parser returns its result on stdout, its result can be obtained with a
call to system(). Supposing it will be a list of numbers, we can have something
like:
:let lines = split(system($PARSER.' '.expand('%:p'))) you may want to
cache this information
:call sort(lines)
lh#find_if is non standard, but easily implemented with a :for loop
:let next_idx = lh#list#find_if(lines, 'v:1_ = '.line('.'))
:exe lines[next_idx] ~ jump to the next position

Except when the function is required by two or more plugins. Copy-pasting the function is not a good idea for obvious (at least, IMO) maintenance reasons. And cluttering all plugins, but one, with :runtime plugin/theonethatgotthefunction.vim is not better than relying on autoload plugin mechanism which at least caches when a function has already being loaded -- the :runtime is required as there no useful guaranty regarding the order in which plugins within a same directory are loaded. Personally, I tend to put all the functions for my scripts into plugins/ and then, once the scripts become too large, or I notice that a lot of overhead goes into interpreting code that's rarely used, etc, I start pushing things out to autoload functions. I try to keep my vimrc free of functions that aren't directly used by it, though. I have a lot of plugins installed, and its extremely rare I need to run all of them during a same vim session.

Well ... my main problem was to handle the callback. Can you point
the function that actually does it ?
OK. Here is a little tour on the library. It was initially designed
to display (in a scratch buffer) a list of things, select (/tag) one
or several items, and validate the choice.
The items can be of any kind (function signatures, email addresses,
suggested spellings, ...), as well as the validating action. The
help/header can be customized as well as colours, other mappings, ...
However the list displaying + selection aspect is almost hardcoded.
How it Works:
Scripts have to call the function
lh#buffer#dialog#new(bname, title, where, support_tagging, action, choices)
with:
- {bname} being the name the scratch buffer will receive.
- {title} the title that appear at the first line of the scratch
buffer.
I use it to display the name of the client script, its version,
and its purpose/what to do
- {where} are :split options (like bot below) used to open the
scratch buffer
- {support_tagging} is a boolean (0/1) option that permit to select
multiple items
- {action} is the name of the callback function (I may support more
advanced calling mechanisms latter)
- {choices} is the |List| of exact string to display
The #new function builds and returns a dictionary, it also opens and
fills the scratch buffer, and put us within its context.
If we want to add other mappings, and set a syntax highlighting for
the new buffer, it is done at this point (see the s:PostInit()
function in my client scripts).
At this point, I also add all the high level information to the
dictionary (for instance, the list of function signatures is nice, but
it does not provides enough information (the corresponding file, the
command to jump to the definition/declaration, the scope, ...)
The dictionary is filled with different useful information:
- buffer ids
- where we was at the time of its creation
- name of the callback function
The callback function:
- It can't be a script local function.
- When called, we are still within the scratch buffer context
- It must accept a |List| of numbers as parameter: the index (+1) of
the items selected
- The number 0, when in the list, means aborted. In that case, the
callback function is expected to call lh#buffer#dialog#Quit() that
will terminate the scratch buffer (with :quit), and jump back to
where we were when #new was called, and display a little Abort
message.
- We can terminate the dialog with just :quit if we don't need to jump
back anywhere. For instance, lh-tags callback function first
terminates the dialog, then jumps to the file where the selected tag
comes from.
- It's completely asynchronous: the callback function does not return
anything to anyone, but instead applies transformations in other
places.
This aspect is very important. I don't see how this kind of feature
can work if not asynchronously in vim.
Limitations:
This script is a little bit experimental (even if it the result of
almost 10 years of evolution), and it is a little bit cumbersome.
- it is defined to support only one callback -- see the hacks in
lh-tags to workaround this limitation.
- it is defined to display list of items, and to select one or several
items in the end.
- and of course, it requires lh-vim-lib, but nothing else.
But sure: i prefer to contribute to an existing code instead of code
mine.
Feel free to change it in any way you wish. As long as supporting list
of items is still simplified (as it is used in 4 others scripts), it
is fine with me. In the end, it'll likelly end up in Marc Weber TOVL
project.

It's the feature that I would like most when developing in c++ with Vim. In my CC++ suite and in my lh-tags experiment (*), I already have the bricks to build upon in order to implement such a beast (I just lack time). In lh-cpp/AnalysisLib_Function and gotoimpl autoload/API plugins, there are functions able to parse the signatures of C++ functions, and build a robust (regarding comments, multiple lines, and optional parameter names) (but slow to match) regex ready to use. lh-tag is already able to propose to select which exact tag we are interested in. However, at this time I use the default search command as defined by ctags. With a customizable hook, it should be possible to use the overloads-aware regex from gotoimpl. I'll try to upload the latest version of the scripts this week-end, in case someone is tempted to play with them.

Re: text objects
Hello, Oleksandr Manzyuk manz...@googlemail.com : I have a general question: Is there a way to create custom text objects in Vim (or to redefine the existing text objects)?

Re: Intesting blog posts of 10 year [..] - What do we (community) want to do to improve things ?
Hello, d) The *one* way to search - for scripts or libraries - update them - distribute them - customize them - document them - evaluate them (not only +1 / 0 / -1, but you should be able to give feedback easily!) [1] - reusing code this way that thing that vim is lacking but PHP, ruby etc all have (?) Does this *one* way exist? I mean vim runs on linux, windows (maybe cygwin).. so at least there must be some boilerplate code to handle file paths correctly in all cases (can this be done at all?).. I have some old functions for that issue. I'm using cygwin for that reason because it just works the way I'm used to unless you want to parse compiler messages with C:\ in it.. If someone is interested in building up a vim-framework providing some of the functions (background compilation, outline features, easy script configuration setup, ..etc) let me know. I remember you had your framework online. Did you remove it? Otherwise, yes. I'm quite interested by the library/framework side of things ; even if there are a lot of redundant code between our two frameworks. :) Actually, I'm already maintaining a few more or less dependant frameworks. See http://code.google.com/p/lh-vim/wiki/lhVimLib for the more general one. [I'm currently adding boost.bind-like functions that I'm planning to use in order to simplify my refactoring plugin.] I've already written an alternative vim script distribution system figuring out dependencies automatically so that autoloading can be exploited fully. That sounds interesting. Having to say to use this plugin, you have to install the following 4 vimballs, as I'm currently doing, does not seem to be the right way. I'll have a look at your solution. [...] Looking at my comments below you see one sentence a way to often never got any feedback.. Sometimes, I have some feedback. But that's quite rare. Unless our scripts are exceptionally visible, we won't get much. Library oriented script seem to me to be the worse kind: most of us prefer to reinvent the wheel instead of relying on external library-plugins. So I'd like to improve that. Is there any way to make www.vim.org accept comments from other users ? I did move my scripts to googlecode to track their evolutions, bugs and RfC. May be, I'll move them back to vim.org if it eventually offer what has been discussed in the other thread about vim.org and scripts hosting. -- Luc Hermitte http://lh-vim.googlecode.com/ http://hermitte.free.fr/vim/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message from the vim_use maillist.

Re: Code repetition in Vim mappings
Hello,
703designs [EMAIL PROTECTED] :
Following this tip:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Automatically_append_closing_characters#Improved_Bracket-Matching
I've pasted the code three times, replacing ( with [ and {, ) with ]
and } respectively for the latter two.
[...]
Any ideas as to how I could extract the second
mapping into a function, taking one argument for the matched
character?
The first version of my bracketing system was quite impossible to evolve and
maintain. In the last version (*), I've provided a command that helps define
normal-, visual- and insert-mode bracket-mappings.
(*) The v1.0.0 is only available through subversion at that moment:
http://code.google.com/p/lh-vim/wiki/lhBrackets
Otherwise, you have several options:
1- play with :exe to map with options
:exe inoremap silent .open. .open.close.left
2- Have a function that execute the mapping itself ; the function will play
with exe+normal
3- Have an expr-mapping that expand the result of the called function.
