Hi Vim folks,
I'm writing a plugin, and I'm wondering whether it's possible to update a
hidden buffer. The functions and commands I found in the docs, such as seem to
work only with the current buffer.
The reason I want to do this is that my plugin used a buffer to show some
interactive output, and I want the buffer content to always be up-to-date,
whether it's hidden or not.
Currently I made things work by switching the buffers when needed:
function! vlime#ui#WithBuffer(buf, Func)
let old_buf = bufnr('%')
let cur_buf = bufnr(a:buf)
try
execute 'hide buffer ' . cur_buf
return a:Func()
finally
execute 'buffer ' . old_buf
endtry
endfunction
But this messed up the cursor position history, and that's very bad.
So, any suggestions?
Regards,
Kay Z.
