Hi. I've written another little script.. But by now you need sh and a
client-server version. Perhaps you like it?
just run
gvim --servername MYSERVERNAME
and run a backgroundtask, eg
==== takealotoftime.sh =====
#!/bin/sh
sleep 2
echo "I'm ready soon"
sleep 3
echo "I will take long"
sleep 1
==== takealotoftime.sh =====
:call RunMakeCommandInBackground("./takealotoftime.sh")
Ah.. and set the colorschemes to values you have installed
=================================================
" This script is designed to run a command (eg make)
" in background only works if vim is compiled with
" clientserver feature
let s:normal_colorscheme=g:colors_name"
let s:workinbackground_colorscheme="lilac"
let s:tempfile=tempname()
" add your tasks here
fun BackgroundJobHasStarted()
exec 'colorscheme '.s:workinbackground_colorscheme
endfun
" add your tasks here
fun BackgroundJobHasFinisheed()
exec 'cfile '.s:tempfile
exec 'colorscheme '.s:normal_colorscheme
endfun
fun CommandHasFinished()
call BackgroundJobHasFinisheed()
endfun
fun RunMakeCommandInBackground(cmd)
if !has('clientserver')
echoe "no client-server version"
endif
if has('gui-running') " FIXME: get vim executable name insteadn (cargs 0)
let vim="gvim"
else
let vim="vim"
endif
let vim="/usr/bin/gvim"
let cmd="sh -c '".a:cmd." > ".s:tempfile."; ".vim." --servername
\"".v:servername."\" --remote-send \":call CommandHasFinished()<cr>\"'"
"exec ":!".cmd." &"
call system(cmd." &")
call BackgroundJobHasStarted()
endfun
=================================================
How do you like it?
Some improvements could be made to pass the exit code, too.
