Here is a patch that adds set() function on the lines of existing get() for setting list elements by index or dict keys by name. The reason I wanted this is the lack of support to use :let for modifying the dictionary elements. E.g., the below will be an error:
:let get_dict().key = 'val' The alternative is to use the new set() function as: :call set(get_dict(), 'key', 'val') The function also returns the new value. Notice that the :let syntax works to call functions on the dict, so the below is valid: :let x = get_dict().getX() Together, I think they will serve most or all of the use cases. This is my first patch for Vim, and I haven't touched c/c++ code in years, so I don't know if I screwed up on something. I can write the documentation if Bram OK's the patch. I don't know if there are any tests that need to be emended, and if so where they are. -- Thanks, Hari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
