+ + Bash Harder With Vim + +
+

Bash is tricky, don’t let your editor get in your way. Here’s a couple of neat +additions you could make to your vimrc for a better shell programming +experience.

+ +
+ +

Man pages inside vim

+ +

Source this script to get started:

+ +
runtime ftplugin/man.vim
+
+ +

Now, you can open manpages inside vim with :Man! It adds nicer syntax highlighting +and the ability to jump around with Ctrl-] and Ctrl-T.

+ +

By default, the manpage is opened in a horizontal split, I prefer using a new tab:

+ +
let g:ft_man_open_mode = 'tab'
+
+ +
+ +

Scratchpad to test your commands

+ +

I often test my sed substitutions, here is +a sample from the script used to generate this site:

+ +
# a substitution to convert snake_case to Title Case With Spaces
+echo "$1" | sed -E -e "s/\..+$//g"  -e "s/_(.)/ \u\1/g" -e "s/^(.)/\u\1/g"
+
+ +

Instead of dropping into a new shell, just test it out directly from vim!

+ +
    +

  • Yank the line into a register:

    + +
    yy
+
    • +

  • Paste it into the command-line window:

    + +
    q:p
+
    • +

  • Make edits as required:

    + +
    syntax off            # previously run commands
+edit index.html       # in a buffer!
+w | so %
+!echo "new_post.md" | sed -E -e "s/\..+$//g"  --snip--
+^--- note the use of '!'
+
    • +

  • Hit enter with the cursor on the line containing your command!

    + +
    $ vim
+New Post         # output
+Press ENTER or type command to continue
+
    • +
