# Vim Interaction #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The plugin presents a function called `callvim` whose usage is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
usage: callvim [-b cmd] [-a cmd] [file ... fileN]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-b cmd Run this command in GVIM before editing the first file
|
||
|
|
-a cmd Run this command in GVIM after editing the first file
|
||
|
|
file The file to edit
|
||
|
|
... fileN The other files to add to the argslist
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Rationale ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The idea for this script is to give you some decent interaction with a running
|
||
|
|
GVim session. Normally you'll be running around your filesystem doing any
|
||
|
|
number of amazing things and you'll need to load some files into GVim for
|
||
|
|
editing, inspecting, destruction, or other bits of mayhem. This script lets you
|
||
|
|
do that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Aliases ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a few aliases presented as well:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `v` A shorthand for `callvim`
|
||
|
|
* `vvsp` Edits the passed in file but first makes a vertical split
|
||
|
|
* `vhsp` Edits the passed in file but first makes a horizontal split
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Post Callout ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the end of the `callvim` function we invoke the `postCallVim` function if it
|
||
|
|
exists. If you're using MacVim, for example, you could define a function that
|
||
|
|
brings window focus to it after the file is loaded:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
function postCallVim
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
osascript -e 'tell application "MacVim" to activate'
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This'll be different depending on your OS / Window Manager.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Examples ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will load `/tmp/myfile.scala` into the running GVim session:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> v /tmp/myfile.scala
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will load it after first doing a vertical split:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> vvsp /tmp/myfile.scala
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
> v -b':vsp' /tmp/myfile.scala
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will load it after doing a horizontal split, then moving to the bottom of
|
||
|
|
the file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> vhsp -aG /tmp/myfile.scala
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
> v -b':sp' -aG /tmp/myfile.scala
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will load the file and then copy the first line to the end (Why you would
|
||
|
|
ever want to do this... I dunno):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> v -a':1t$' /tmp/myfile.scala
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And this will load all of the `*.txt` files into the args list:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> v *.txt
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to load files into areas that are already split, use one of the
|
||
|
|
aliases for that:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Do a ':wincmd h' first
|
||
|
|
> vh /tmp/myfile.scala
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Do a ':wincmd j' first
|
||
|
|
> vj /tmp/myfile.scala
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Do a ':wincmd k' first
|
||
|
|
> vk /tmp/myfile.scala
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Do a ':wincmd l' first
|
||
|
|
> vl /tmp/myfile.scala
|
