I'm interested in writing a plugin that could run in the background as I
do some work in a buffer. For instance I have a function that appends a
line to :copen. I would like to run it in the background continuously.
How could I do this and continue working in the foreground?
func myFunc()
while 1
exe "caddexpr expand("%") . ":" . line(".") . ":" .
getline(".")"
exe "sleep 5"
endwhile
endfunc

Chuhk,
You probably want to give the 'au CursorMoved' autocommand
a try for this task.
Such tasks are normally solved with autocommands in vim.
See:
:help au
:hep CursorMoved
Good luck
