Is there a Vim plugin that can handle smart semicolon insertion, like the one in Eclipse?
Example (pipe character is insertion cursor):
foobar(|)
I type a semicolon:
foobar();|
Similarly:
foobar("blah|")
I type a semicolon:
foobar("blah");|
If I want a semicolon at the original cursor position, I press backspace after the smart re-position:
foobar("hello|")
foobar("hello");|
foobar("hello;|")
I use this mapping:
inoremap <leader>; <C-o>A;
It's not ;
because I use semicolons often and in more than one context.
<C-o>
is used to input a single normal mode command.
A;
means "add a ;
at the end of the line".
I want to do the same thing, I works on it whole night, tons of code, but at last, I got a simple solution.
inoremap ;<cr> <end>;<cr>
and if I am in a brace, I want to add a semicolon or a dot at the end, like this
foo({
|
})
I press ;;<cr>
or ..<cr>
to do this
inoremap ;<cr> <end>;<cr>
inoremap .<cr> <end>.
inoremap ;;<cr> <down><end>;<cr>
inoremap ..<cr> <down><end>.
You should try Cosco.vim plugin.
I use the following function and a mapping to insert a semicolon to the end of the line and to delete the remaning spaces:
imap <leader>. <C-R>=Semicolonfun()<CR>
fun! Semicolonfun() "{{{
call setline(line('.'), substitute(getline('.'), '\s*$', ';', ''))
return "\<End>"
endfunction "}}}
So if you have something like:
log.warning("you miss the |identifier")
Pressing . or ,. if you remap the leader, you get the following:
log.warning("you miss the identifier");|
inoremap <expr> ;<cr> getline('.')[-1:] == ';' ? '\<Nop>' : '<End>;<CR>'
The code above will check if there is ;
at the end of the line.
If ;
not exists, then it will add ;
otherwise do nothing.
" ftplugin/c/c_snippet.vim
inoremap <expr> <buffer> ; getline('.')[col('.')-1:-1]=~')$' ? '<right>;' : ';'
This version shall not pose problems with for
if your snippets engine expands it into
for (...|) {
<+code+>
}<++>
If the open bracket is on a newline, it will mess things up.
You could easily change the regex to '"\=)\+$'
to answer your initial question.
inoremap <expr> <buffer> ; getline('.')[col('.')-1:-1]=~'"\=)\+$' ? '<end>;' : ';'
However, I don't think it's a good idea. In that case, the mapping for <bs>
will be:
inoremap <expr> <buffer> <bs> getline('.')[:col('.')-2] =~ '.*")\+;$' ? '<bs><c-o>F";' : '<bs>'
