Hi all, After a week of exclusively using vip for editing picolisp, here's what I've got:
https://gist.github.com/erdg/ebf4556382bc1bbbaf534c4ebd927322 Most interesting are the "code formatting" commands ('@' prefix). Using vip made me realize how much I leaned on vim's "blinking parens" when writing code. These commands allow me to quickly express intention without having to count my way out of a deeply nested mess. They're respectful of comments, too. [@!] - remove trailing parens on current line [@$] - (re)close parens on current line N[@~] - (re)close all but N parens on current line N[@`] - (re)close parens on line and N levels up N[@,] - (re)close parens on line to top of expr, minus 1 level [@?] - close parens on line to search backwards [@@] - indent expr / paragraph, also set mark "@" [@# / @.] - indent and (re)close ending parens of expr / paragraph There's also commands for working with comments ('#' prefix). Most useful are: [#$] - (re)write end of line comment [#%] - comment wrap to matching paren [#'] - wrap word, element or transient symbol [#}] - wrap paragraph [#@] - remove surrounding comment wrap (Normal "backward search word under cursor" is '##', but it's trivial to change the prefix if that's bothersome) Towards the end of the file I went overkill with colorschemes, implementing everything easy and creating a few more example themes. Vi personalized indeed! Now some questions... some of these commands add and remove a lot of characters, is there a way to "batch" the edits to the file? For example, pressing '#}' wraps a paragraph in a multi-line comment, but to undo that action I need to press 'u' twice. Ideally 'u' would undo everything that happened in the command's prg body. Can 'evRpt' be used for this? I haven't figured that one out yet. Regards, Erik
