hello, i am a good user of VIM, but not very advanced. I use macros a lot. a frequent one
that i use is to comment code in verilog, C, perl etc. now, i go back and forth frequenty
between various code, and code comment macro (@c) and uncomment macro (@u) have to be
different for perl and C, e.g. Now, what I do is that everytime I come to C code, i have to
redefine the macro (pressing qc0i//<esc>jq) and next time i go to perl code, i have
to do it again (qc0i#<esc>jq) .
i was wondering if i can put these keystrokes in a file (e.g. C_comment.macro and
perl_comment.macro), and can source the file in VIM whenevr i want to. that way, i can put
frequently used macros keystrokes in files, and read those commands at run time in VIM. any idea
how to write that *.macro file (with these keystrokes)? I tried but <esc> does not work. (i
put following thing in file: qc0i//<esc>jq. now when i source it, it keep inserting
<esc> etc too, which is bugging me).
summary: what I want to do is that in VIM window, instead of pressing
keystrokes on keyboard, VIM reads the keystrokes (as exactly if it were from
keyboard, including insert mode) from a file...
There are many solutions for that. Here is what I use:
function! ToggleComment()
let x=@/
if &filetype == 'cpp'
if getline('.') =~# '^//'
s+^//++
else
s+^+//+
endif
elseif &filetype == 'c'
if getline('.') =~# '^//'
s+^//++
elseif getline('.') =~# '^\s*/\*'
s+^\(\s*\)/\*+\1+
silent s+\*/++g
else
s+^+/*+
s+$+*/+
endif
elseif &filetype == 'vim'
if getline('.') =~# '^\s*"'
s/^\(\s*\)"/\1/
else
s+^+"+
endif
else
if getline('.') =~# '^#'
s+^#++
else
s+^+#+
endif
endif
norm j
let @/=x
endfu
map <f2> :call ToggleComment()<cr>
