In French, we do not write "word" or 'word', we write « word », with
a non-breakable space after « and before ». Until now, I do:
<c-k><<<c-k>NSword<c-k>NS<c-k>>>
which is really not convenient. I'd like a function, say
Guillemets(), which does that automatiquelly. I would then map it to
a function key FN (or whatever else) and just call it in normal
mode. Problem, I really don't have the necessary skills to do that.
Anybody could help?
Does those two mappings help you?
:imap <expr> " getline('.')[col('.')-2]=~'\S' ? ' »' : '« '
:imap <expr> ' getline('.')[col('.')-2]=~'\S' ? ' »' : '« '
In fact, both don't do anything. I replaced <expr> by <F10> or
<Leader>gu, but nothing happens.
'<expr>' isn't something to be replaced. See:
:help :map-<expr>
(Basically, without the '<expr>' in front, you'll get the mappings as
literal commands, which is not what you want.)
These mappings are to the keys <"> and <'>. If you want them mapped to
something else, change those single characters. But you probably don't
want to do that. These are :*i*map commands (i = insert). So, they're
active while in Insert mode. They change the meanings of the keys <">
and <'> to "smartly" insert guillemets.
E.g. typing: Hi, "this is in quotes," and "so is this".
You end up with: Hi, « this is in quotes, » and « so is this ».
Give it a try, but you'll probably want to set up some kind of toggle so
that the mappings aren't active 100% of the time.
