You said your problem was that Vim would put a bunch of stuff on your command
line but not actually hit enter for you.
Now you are beyond that issue and ran into another problem.
Strings in Vim cannot be split over multiple lines.
Instead of this (which will not work):
let mystring = ":
\ abc
\ def"
You need to do this:
let mystring = ":"
\ ."abc"
\ ."def"
it looks this is not true , at least per my test:
let me ignore the "repeat" part of the issue for now:
//with this new code
function! MyGit(commitmsg)
let commitmsg=a:commitmsg
let GitCmd=":
\!git add -A .;
\git commit -m \" .
\commitmsg . \";" . "
\git push origin master"
echo GitCmd
endf
command! -nargs=? MyGit :call MyGit(<q-args>)
nn ,gg :call MyGit("new post:")<CR>
so If I test with echo in the code, I got:
:!git add -A .;git commit -m " .commitmsg . ";git push origin master
Press ENTER or type command to continue
so at least the line continuation for the "let var = " looks fine.
However, looking at what you are trying to do, this STILL will not work. You
have at least two other conceptual problems:
1. You cannot string together commands like :!command1 !command2. No Vim command works that way,
you need to separate them with |. :! is special though so that even that won't work, because it
will just get passed to the shell. You need to do it like :exec "!command1" | exec
"!command2".
this I agree, so I fixed it with just one "!" in the head of the whole
string and use ";" to connect multiple external shell commands.
2. :exec will not leave the cursor somewhere for input.
I understand,thanks!
You can't use a function in this way. If you want to use <Left><Left>
repeatedly to place the cursor awaiting further input, you will need to have your function
RETURN a value instead of executing it,
this is how I changed my current code.
and additionally use an expression map or abbreviation. See :help :map-<expr>
this part I don't understand...
I couldn't find a close example to my scenario ...
strangely that if I use "return GitCmd", I got just nothing...
since I already "return" the commands that I needed for the Ex command,
shouldn't I now get the whole bunch of the command strings waiting in
the vim command line?
