Write Buffer to Stdout#

w !some_command

Wrapping a Python Function in a Vim function#

Normally the following snippet would suffice:

fun! Vimfun()
    python pyfun()
endfun

But if you want to pass parameters, you’ll need something like this (please correct me if I’m wrong).

fun! Vimfun(x)
	python import vim
	python f(vim.eval(str('a:x')))
endfun

python << EOF
def f(x):
	print x
EOF

" run it
call Vimfun('Hello!')

To show all whitespace at line end:

:match Error /\s\+$/

To remove it:

:%s/\s\+$//

" XML syntax folding
let g:xml_syntax_folding=1
au FileType xml setlocal foldmethod=syntax

Shortcuts (from nion's blog_ on 2009-03-23):

shortcut	description
zf	create folder
zd	delete folder under cursor
zD	delete folder recursive
zE	delete all folders in file
zo	open folder under curso
zO	open folder recursive
zc	close folder under cursor
zC	same as zc recursive
za	open folder if closed, close folder if opened

All ftplugins are loaded when a buffer for the filetype is opened. Thus, it’s lazy by default.

So here’s the order of writes. The last one wins:
