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
A couple ideas:
1) build up a string and then execute it:
if ...
let s = "A"
else
let s = "I"
if ...
let s .= "stuff"
else
let s .= "other stuff"
exec "norm ".s.expand('<esc>')
(not quite sure if that expand() call will work...just shooting
untested there :)
2) choose to do it without normal mode:
if a:syn == "vim"
let comment='"'
elseif a:syn == 'c'
let comment='//'
...
if a:pos == "comment_and_write"
s/$/\=comment
else
put =comment
3) similar to #2, use the expression register to evaluate things
and put in the appropriate character:
inoremap <f4>
<c-r>=(a:syn=='vim')?('"'):((a:syn=='c')?('//'):(default_or_more_logic_here))<cr>
(all on one line in case mailers between here and there break
things...it's untested, but should be fairly close and at least
give you the pattern to use).
4) some combination of #2 and #3, using inoremap for the insert
mode and nnoremap for the append mode. Not quite sure what
you're trying to accomplish in that regard, but it's at least
something to consider.
Hopefully that gives you a few more ideas,
