Some time around VO 0.2.4, VO stopped hard-coding .. and began to set
<localleader> to ,, and put <localleader> in all VO's map commands.
Then our troubles began.
The Debian maintainer changed <localleader> to two backslashes or
something like that, with the explanation that Debian must default
<localleader> to that or it's not a Debian package.
I don't know anything about that, but I can tell you that if every
command starts with \\, it's not VimOutliner, it's some poke slow
piece of software.
Where do you get the idea that Debian defaults <LocalLeader> to "two
backslashes or something like that"?
I don't use Debian regularly, but in a Debian 6 (sid?) VM, it seems to
default VO's mappings to ,,{whatever}.
Test steps:
# apt-get install vim-addons-manager
# apt-get install vim-vimoutliner
$ vim-addons install vimoutliner
$ vim test.otl
:map
(shows a bunch of mappings that start with ,,)
vim-vimoutliner version is listed as 0.3.4+pristine-9
So the best of both worlds is to stop using <localleader> for the VO
command prefix.. [...]
What? Isn't the best of both worlds to set <LocalLeader> ( ==
maplocalleader ) to ',,'? the way Debian VO's /etc/vim/vimoutlinerrc
seems to do?
Then the default is the value you (and presumably others) find sensible.
And if someone else wants something different, it's easy to change.
[...] Personally I'd just hardcode ,, but there seems to be some
resistance to that -- maybe for a reason similar to an aversion to
magic numbers. Or maybe because a person missing their right middle
finger would want to change that command prefix.
Not everyone uses a QWERTY, is another reason. Regardless, hardcoding
it with no easy way to override is the wrong route for a plugin to take.
So anyway, all we have to do is define a command or key or variable or
whatever that isn't currently a part of Vim, and that way the Debian
people can define <localleader> however they want, and we can default
our command prefix to the tried and true ,,.
So, within that context, what do you think?
Are you sure something else isn't interfering with maplocalleader?
