hello,
I am trying to emulate textpad. In textpad, when cursor is over some
word and you press ctrl-f5 the search box pops up, and a word is in the
input area.
So, an equivalent behavior (at least for now :-)) in vim is to press
ctrl-f5 and have a word show up in the string
:vimgrep/WORD/j c:/projects/foo/**/*.[ch]
I know how to do this in a kludgy way, by yanking the word with viwy.
However, that "kills" the * register. The question is whether it is
possible to do what i want through some temp register, without "killing"
the * (or using the * and then restoring it):
I could map ctrl f5 to something like (kludgy):
nmap <C-F5> <ESC>viwy:vimgrep/<S-Insert>/j c:/projects/kopera/**/*.[ch]
map! <C-F5> <ESC>viwy:vimgrep/<S-Insert>/j c:/projects/kopera/**/*.[ch]
nmap <C-F5> <ESC>:vimgrep/<C-R><C-W>/j c:/projects/kopera/**/*.[ch]
map! <C-F5> <ESC>:vimgrep/<C-R><C-W>/j c:/projects/kopera/**/*.[ch]
:help c_<C-R>_<C-W>
There must be a prettier way of doing that (and a way which does not
kill the *)
Could someone please point me to the right direction?
thanks,
denis
