You can do most of these things by writing wrappers in vimscript that call python functions. This is used extensively in vimuiex (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2606). Check the function function! vimuiex#vxlist#VxPopup(items, title, ...) in vxlist.vim to see how to prepare a python call and doVimCallback(self, cmd, curindex) in popuplist.py for an implementation of callbacks in python that call into vim. For keymaps you can try to use the vim command 'python'. I prefer to write vimscript wrappers, though. Marko -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
