The -motivation for providing this plugin is that |:imap| suffers from problems -which get increasingly annoying with a large number of mappings. - -Consider an example. If you do > - imap lhs something - - -then a mapping is set up. However, there will be the following problems: -1. The 'ttimeout' option will generally limit how easily you can type the lhs. - if you type the left hand side too slowly, then the mapping will not be - activated. - -2. If you mistype one of the letters of the lhs, then the mapping is deactivated - as soon as you backspace to correct the mistake. - -3. The characters in lhs are shown on top of each other. This is fairly - distracting. This becomes a real annoyance when a lot of characters initiate - mappings. - -This script provides a function IMAP() which does not suffer from these -problems. - - - - *imaps.txt-toc* -|im_1| Using IMAP - -================================================================================ -Viewing this file - -This file can be viewed with all the sections and subsections folded to ease -navigation. By default, vim does not fold help documents. To create the folds, -press za now. The folds are created via a foldexpr which can be seen in the -last section of this file. - -See |usr_28.txt| for an introduction to folding and |fold-commands| for key -sequences and commands to work with folds. - -================================================================================ -Using IMAP *im_1* *imaps-usage* - - - -Each call to IMAP is made using the syntax: > - call IMAP (lhs, rhs, ft [, phs, phe]) - - -This is equivalent to having <lhs> map to <rhs> for all files of type <ft>. - -Some characters in the <rhs> have special meaning which help in cursor placement -as described in |imaps-placeholders|. The optional arguments define these -special characters. - -Example One: > - call IMAP ("bit`", "\\begin{itemize}\<cr>\\item <++>\<cr>\\end{itemize}<++>", "tex") - - -This effectively sets up the map for "bit`" whenever you edit a latex file. When -you type in this sequence of letters, the following text is inserted: > - \begin{itemize} - \item * - \end{itemize}<++> - -where * shows the cursor position. The cursor position after inserting the text -is decided by the position of the first "place-holder". Place holders are -special characters which decide cursor placement and movement. In the example -above, the place holder characters are <+ and +>. After you have typed in the -item, press <C-j> and you will be taken to the next set of <++>'s. Therefore by -placing the <++> characters appropriately, you can minimize the use of movement -keys. - -Set g:Imap_UsePlaceHolders to 0 to disable placeholders altogether. - -Set g:Imap_PlaceHolderStart and g:Imap_PlaceHolderEnd to something else if you -want different place holder characters. Also, b:Imap_PlaceHolderStart and -b:Imap_PlaceHolderEnd override the values of g:Imap_PlaceHolderStart and -g:Imap_PlaceHolderEnd respectively. This is useful for setting buffer specific -place holders. - -Example Two: You can use the <C-r> command to insert dynamic elements such as -dates. > - call IMAP ('date`', "\<c-r>=strftime('%b %d %Y')\<cr>", '') - - - -With this mapping, typing date` will insert the present date into the file. - -================================================================================ -About this file - -This file was created automatically from its XML variant using db2vim. db2vim is -a python script which understands a very limited subset of the Docbook XML 4.2 -DTD and outputs a plain text file in vim help format. - -db2vim can be obtained via anonymous CVS from sourceforge.net. Use - -cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.vim-latex.sf.net:/cvsroot/vim-latex co db2vim - -Or you can visit the web-interface to sourceforge CVS at: -http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/vim-latex/db2vim/ - -The following modelines should nicely fold up this help manual. - -vim:ft=help:fdm=expr:nowrap -vim:foldexpr=getline(v\:lnum-1)=~'-\\{80}'?'>2'\:getline(v\:lnum-1)=~'=\\{80}'?'>1'\:getline(v\:lnum)=~'=\\{80}'?'0'\:getline(v\:lnum)=~'-\\{80}'?'1'\:'=' -vim:foldtext=substitute(v\:folddashes.substitute(getline(v\:foldstart),'\\s*\\*.*',"",""),'^--','--\ \ \ \ ','') -================================================================================ |
