Hi.
In a nutshell, I am having trouble trying to set the insert mode in a vim
function, and having it "stick" after the statement ends.
what I am trying to accomplish is the equivalent of hitting A, or I in vi.
(note the caps)
Problem is, once I do normal! I, it automatically escapes out of insert mode
afterwords. I need it to "stay there" and let a few if statements process.
Once that happens, I'm hoping to write in text while it's in this mode.
Something else I am not sure how to do.
Example: (section of a function)
if a:pos == "comment_and_write"
normal! A
else
normal! I
endif
if a:syn == "vim"
" write " here
elseif a:syn == "c"
" write // here
... etc.
PS I am aware of the vim plugins to do what I'm trying to do (autocomment
code)... but I am doing it myself in .vimrc so my script is far more
portable. Any advice GREATLY appreciated... I had a real tough time
googling for relevant keywords to help myself out.
