I want to edit a LaTeX source file, using (g)vim and suitable names, to add
\index{…} commands.
In particular, I want to be able to position the cursor anywhere on a word
or selection to be indexed, and then type something like \ind
to add an \index{…} command to the text, where … is the current word.
For example, if the text is
The dog has a bone.
and (in normal mode) I position the cursor on “dog”, and type \ind, I want the
text to become
The dog\index{dog} has a bone.
If I then proceed to place the cursor on “bone” and type \ind, the text would
become
The dog\index{dog} has a bone\index{bone}.
*****
I’ve tried things like this (in my .gvimrc file)
nmap <Bslash>ind yiwea\index{Pa}<ESC>
i.e.,
yiw yank the internal word (current word) to the default buffer
e move the cursor to the end of the word
a go into insert mode
insert literal “\index{“ (SOMETHING IS GOING WRONG AT THIS STEP)
<ESC> escape to normal mode
P print the buffer contents
a go into insert mode
insert literal “}”
<ESC> escape to normal mode
But when I place the cursor on “dog” and invoke the command, I get
The dog\indexdog}{ has a bone.
The left curly brace is appearing after the right curly brace.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
Ken
