# 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
|
