Hi, If anyone is interested, I've begun to write a proof of concept python vim script to bring the balloons feature to terminal vim (*NIX platforms). It uses xdotool to track the mouse and to see if it is focusing the terminal window, stty to get the terminal size in characters, xwininfo to get the terminal size in pixels and dzen2 to display the balloons. This script will be easily fooled in a lot of situations and I don't plan to make it perfect, but I would be happy with something that works correctly most of the time with a few modifications on the existing scripts that balloons. You'll find the code here:
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/chmduquesne/term_balloons.vim For now, the script only displays the coordinates of the mouse, I still need to figure out how to link them to the vim buffers/window/word (any idea?). Suggestions and patches are welcome. Cheers, Christophe-Marie -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
