| 17 | Bash Harder With Vim | ||
| 18 | </span> | ||
| 19 | <div class="post-text"> | ||
| 20 | <p>Bash is tricky, don’t let your editor get in your way. Here’s a couple of neat | ||
| 21 | additions you could make to your <code>vimrc</code> for a better shell programming | ||
| 22 | experience.</p> | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | <hr/> | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | <h4 id="Man%20pages%20inside%20vim">Man pages inside vim</h4> | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | <p>Source this script to get started: </p> | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | <pre><code>runtime ftplugin/man.vim | ||
| 31 | </code></pre> | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | <p>Now, you can open manpages inside vim with <code>:Man</code>! It adds nicer syntax highlighting | ||
| 34 | and the ability to jump around with <code>Ctrl-]</code> and <code>Ctrl-T</code>.</p> | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | <p>By default, the manpage is opened in a horizontal split, I prefer using a new tab:</p> | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | <pre><code>let g:ft_man_open_mode = 'tab' | ||
| 39 | </code></pre> | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | <hr/> | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | <h4 id="Scratchpad%20to%20test%20your%20commands">Scratchpad to test your commands</h4> | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | <p>I often test my <code>sed</code> substitutions, here is | ||
| 46 | a sample from the script used to generate this site: </p> | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | <pre><code># a substitution to convert snake_case to Title Case With Spaces | ||
| 49 | echo "$1" | sed -E -e "s/\..+$//g" -e "s/_(.)/ \u\1/g" -e "s/^(.)/\u\1/g" | ||
| 50 | </code></pre> | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | <p>Instead of dropping into a new shell, just test it out directly from vim!</p> | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | <ul> | ||
| 55 | <li><p>Yank the line into a register:</p> | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | <pre><code>yy | ||
| 58 | </code></pre></li> | ||
| 59 | <li><p>Paste it into the command-line window:</p> | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | <pre><code>q:p | ||
| 62 | </code></pre></li> | ||
| 63 | <li><p>Make edits as required:</p> | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | <pre><code>syntax off # previously run commands | ||
| 66 | edit index.html # in a buffer! | ||
| 67 | w | so % | ||
| 68 | !echo "new_post.md" | sed -E -e "s/\..+$//g" --snip-- | ||
| 69 | ^--- note the use of '!' | ||
| 70 | </code></pre></li> | ||
| 71 | <li><p>Hit enter with the cursor on the line containing your command!</p> | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | <pre><code>$ vim | ||
| 74 | New Post # output | ||
| 75 | Press ENTER or type command to continue | ||
| 76 | </code></pre></li> | ||
| 77 | </ul> | ||
