#5 Current text shortcut for vim plugin

[David Harris]

Kelp accepts an ID as a command-line argument, using a leading 'at' sign ('@') to distinguish the argument type.

Vim provides the '*' command as one-key method for selecting the text under the cursor as a search string. Other methods of specifying a search string are also available. Once selected, it seems that the string would be a natural choice to an annotation lookup. In other words, a kelp ID.

The request would require a modification to the kelp vim plugin to treat a naked '@' in the kelp call as an ID consisting of the current search string. For example,

:Kelp _source.c @

would search for annotation of the module source.c with an ID that matches the current search string.

When combined with Feature Request 1790819, the command could be further abbreviated to:

:Kelp _ @

No change will be required in kelp - the plugin will translate the annotation request.

[If this feature request is accepted, it might prove useful to add the same feature in the Eclipse plugin.]

Would it be possible to associate this last combination to a keycombination? like ctags does :ta currentag to CTRL-]?

Should be possible for the second version of the eclipse plug-in. I also have some thoughts on extension of this idea, but I'll post them elsewhere, as they probably don't below on this FR.
