[!CAUTION]
- You need to use neovim 0.10.0 or later.
- You need to use vim with patch 9.1.0597.
Text editors have evolved to support input in different ways.
All of these were hailed as revolutionary when they first appeared. What's the next big assistive feature? I say operation completion. Currently, completion is for new code. But most coding isn't new creation. It's overwriting, like editing or updating. Shouldn't this be supported?
This plugin dynamically defines a macro. You do not need to make any markers for the macro. To define a macro, this plugin detects the reputation as follows:
If you enter the same key sequence twice (e.g. abcabc
), this plugin will define a macro with the key sequence (e.g. abc
).
graph LR
start(( )) --> a1((a))
subgraph 1st
a1 --> b1((b))
b1 --> c1((c))
end
subgraph 2nd
c1 --> a2((a))
a2 --> b2((b))
b2 --> c2((c))
end
subgraph 3rd
c2 --> dmacro(dmacro)
dmacro -.- a3((a))
subgraph MacroExecution
a3 -.- b3((b))
b3 -.- c3((c))
end
end
c3 --> quit(( ))
If you type the subsequence (e.g. a
) of the previous key sequence (e.g. abc
), this plugin will define a macro with the rest of the previous sequence (e.g. bc
). After expanding the macro, the whole sequence (e.g. abc
) will be the macro.
graph LR
start(( )) --> a1((a))
subgraph 1st
a1 --> b1((b))
b1 --> c1((c))
end
subgraph 2nd
c1 --> a2((a))
a2 --> dmacro1(dmacro)
dmacro1 -.- b2((b))
subgraph MacroExecution_1
b2 -.- c2((c))
end
end
subgraph 3rd
c2 --> dmacro2(dmacro)
dmacro2 -.- a3((a))
subgraph MacroExecution_2
a3 -.- b3((b))
b3 -.- c3((c))
end
end
c3 --> quit(( ))
You need to bind the <Plug>(dmacro-play-macro)
to a key sequence.
vim.keymap.set({ "i", "n" }, '<C-y>', '<Plug>(dmacro-play-macro)')
inoremap <C-y> <Plug>(dmacro-play-macro)
nnoremap <C-y> <Plug>(dmacro-play-macro)
