Jumping back to original page

[mzucker]

Hello,

Thank you very much for building this.  I'm excited to learn how to use it.

I am rather new to Vim and have a question about following the WikiWord links from page to page, and back again.

The script page says:
"When the cursor is over a wiki name, you can press <c-cr> to jump to (or create) the referred page. Pressing <LocalLeader>vb brings you back to the original document. Alternatively, you can use <m-leftmouse> and <m-rightmouse> to jump back and forth."

I'm able to create a new page and/of jump to an extisting page by using either <c-cr> or <m-leftmouse>.  However, I can't seem to figure out how to get back to the original document.  Using <m-rightmouse> seems to have no effect (that's Alt + rightmouse, right?).  And when I try <LocalLeader>vb (which I think is \vb) it throws me into visual mode and highlights the closest word backward.

I'm running in a Windows Vista environment.  Any tips you can offer would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike

In a viki buffer, could you please do:

    redir @*
    echo maparg('<m-rightmouse>')
    echo g:maplocalleader
    echo maparg(g:maplocalleader .'vb')
    echo b:vikiMapFunctionality
    echo g:vikiMapFunctionality
    echo g:vikiSaveHistory
    echo b:VIKIBACKREFS
    echo g:VIKIBACKREFS
    redir END

and post the output? The redir commands are just there to collect the output in the clipboard. It's possible that some variables are not defined.

Regards,
Thomas.

Thanks for the response.  I ran these in VikiMinorMode and here is the contents of my clipboard:

<LeftMouse>:call viki#GoBack(0)<CR>

E121: Undefined variable: g:maplocalleader
E15: Invalid expression: g:maplocalleader

E121: Undefined variable: g:maplocalleader
E116: Invalid arguments for function maparg(g:maplocalleader .'vb')
E15: Invalid expression: maparg(g:maplocalleader .'vb')

E121: Undefined variable: b:vikiMapFunctionality
E15: Invalid expression: b:vikiMapFunctionality

ALL

E121: Undefined variable: b:VIKIBACKREFS
E15: Invalid expression: b:VIKIBACKREFS

Thanks again for your help!

First, you might want to define g:maplocalleader. I think '\' is
mapleader by default.

Then, does calling :call viki#GoBack(0)<CR> from the command-line work?

Did you do this in a buffer that you entered through a viki link? If you enter a buffer via viki, is b:VIKIBACKREFS still empty/undefined?

[mzucker]

Yes, :call viki#GoBack(0)<CR> does bring me back to the original page.

When I enter a buffer via viki, echo b:VIKIBACKREFS now returns the following:

[['C:\Users\mzucker007\viki\WikiHome', 12, 9], ['C:\Users\mzucker007\viki\VimNotes', 2, 11]]

Many thanks for looking at this!

I've created a page call main.viki .  From there, I can <c-cr> on 'VikiName' to a page that was created by viki.  However, on this page I can not navigate back to main.viki using <leader>vb and 'ec g:maplocalleader' return the messages:

E121: Undefined variable: g:maplocalleader
E15: Invalid expression: g:maplocalleader

Using ':map<cr>' shows no leader mappings in VikiName for viki as there were in main.viki .

Using the test from above:
redir @a
echo maparg('<m-rightmouse>')
echo g:maplocalleader
echo maparg(g:maplocalleader .'vb')
echo b:vikiMapFunctionality
echo g:vikiMapFunctionality
echo g:vikiSaveHistory
echo b:VIKIBACKREFS
echo g:VIKIBACKREFS
redir END

I get:
<LeftMouse>:call viki#GoBack(0)<CR>

E121: Undefined variable: g:maplocalleader
E15: Invalid expression: g:maplocalleader

E121: Undefined variable: g:maplocalleader
E116: Invalid arguments for function maparg(g:maplocalleader .'vb')
E15: Invalid expression: maparg(g:maplocalleader .'vb')

E121: Undefined variable: b:vikiMapFunctionality
E15: Invalid expression: b:vikiMapFunctionality

ALL

{}

Using ':call viki#GoBack()' will take me back to main.viki from VikiName and leader mappings for viki reappear.

Can you help me with this?

I think you have to define g:maplocalleader (or g:vikiMapLeader) in your .vimrc file. See also :help maplocalleader<cr>. I'd assume this solves the problem. Please let me know if it doesn't.

BTW, if you use ".viki" as suffix for viki pages, you should also set g:vikiNameSuffix = ".viki".

[Kevin Hathorn]

After executing ':VikiMode<cr>' the mappings appear and I can navigate back to the main page.  Where can I add this command to execute for each viki link?

[Tom Link]

If you use .viki as suffix for viki pages, you could add

augroup filetypedetect
    au BufNewFile,BufRead *.viki  setf viki
augroup END

to ~/.vim/filetype.vim.
