asyncrun.vim

• better path handling.

• new option -close for -mode=term to close the terminal automatically when terminal process finished.
• new option -pos=TAB for -mode=term to open a terminal in a new tab residing on the left side.
• fixed: minor path related issues.
• improve compatibility on windows.

try:

:AsyncRun -mode=term -pos=TAB -close  lazygit

When you are using -pos=TAB, lazygit will run in a new tab on the left side of current tabpage. when it finished, you can return to your previous tabpage directly. More convenience than -pos=tab when you want to return to previous tab.

• new: when "-mode=wait" is provided, use "system()" to run your command.
• new: add autocmd AsyncRunPre, AsyncRunStart, AsyncRunStop for "-mode=wait"

• expose s:ScriptWrite interface to asyncrun#script_write.

• add autocmd AsyncRunInterrupt when job is stopped by AsyncStop. (see PR https://github.com/skywind3000/asyncrun.vim/pull/154)
• prettify: improve source indent.

• project root can be overshadowed by b:asyncrun_root, t:asyncrun_root and g:asyncrun_root:

eg:

let g:asyncrun_root = '/usr/local'

and

:AsyncRun -cwd=<root> pwd

output:

/usr/local

• new macro $(VIM_PWD) or <pwd> for vim's current working directory (which :pwd returns).
• difference between $(VIM_PWD) and $(VIM_CWD) is that $(VIM_CWD) will change if -cwd=xxx is given.

example:

:cd /usr/share

than:

:AsyncRun -cwd=/usr/include echo from $(VIM_PWD) to $(VIM_CWD)

output:

from /usr/share to /usr/include

• keep compatible with vim 7.3, and provide limited functionality.

• windows: follow shellslash option.

• improve project root detection.

• change: g:asyncrun_rootmarks accepts wildcards like "*" or "?".
• change: -reuse=0 can be used in split terminals.

• fixed: windows - exit code is always zero.

• new: -pos accepts a new uppercase TAB to open internal terminal on the left of current tab.

• minor issues fixed.

• change: runner's argument changed from string to dictionary.

• change: clear g:asyncrun_name in normal quickfix jobs.

• change: -post=xxx is available in terminal mode
• new: -pos=hide in terminal mode
• new: -name=abc to specify a name for terminal task
• new: g:asyncrun_name to get terminal task name.

example:

:AsyncRun -mode=term -pos=hide -name=abc -post=echo\ g:asyncrun_name   ls -la

When it finished, script in -post=? will be executed and the name abc will display, while g:asyncrun_code stores the exit code.

• change: -mode=term -pos=tab obeys -focus=0 now, try:

:AsyncRun -mode=term -pos=tab -focus=0    ls -la

• windows: fixed, passing arguments in the most correct way on windows.
• minor issues.

• new option -silent to prevent open quickfix window no matter g:asyncrun_open is set or not.
• new command modifier can define your own -program=new_modifer.
