Re: [Vim-latex-devel] imaps, version of 3rd jan 2003

[Luc H. <her...@fr...>]

Hello,

I have looked at imaps.vim, the version shipped with the archive made on
the 3rd January. To be more precise, I've focused on the jumping
function.

So, I have several questions and remarks:
- we don't have to test 'wrapscan', |search()| does it implicitly for us
- The jumpBack does not work correclty. Try for instance:
  :vmap <C-k> <Plug>IMAP_JumpBack
  i<+foo+> <+bar+> <+three+>
  <esc>gg
  ^J^J^K
- the mappings are not silent.
- why do you need a specific jump function to use with IMAP() ? I
  haven't looked in the mecanics, but I find this odd ; I didn't need
  such a thing with µTemplate. 

Otherwise, I've integrated in bracketing.base.vim some of the things you
use [thanks!]:
- the 'nomagic' stuff ; BTW, the psh and phe strings need to have their
  '\' escaped -- I haven't checked if it is needed for other characters.
- I don't mess with @" anymore
- less screen flashes (s/<esc><c-l>/<c-\><c-n>)
And:
- I've managed the visual selection in another way that does not mess
  with the search-history at all-- way that expext the
  marker/placeholder to hold on a single line.

There is also a new command: 
    :SetMarker {open} {close} 
that sets the two strings used to define the marker -- no need to know
the name of the two options.

I've also tried to automatically manage the value of the 'encoding'. But
I'm not sure it is really useful.

So, I still have:
- to tune/change some little things regarding iconv -- but so far it
  works fine on my win32 version of Vim. I can insert (<M-Insert> [1])
  and jump to markers in latin1 and utf-8, the markers beeing defined
  with:
     :SetMarker « »
  or :SetMarker \foo \bar
  or :SetMarker <+ +>
  or :SetMarker «+ +»
- and to test the echoing approach (as opposed to the marker-selection).


[1] I must confess: I use some meta-mappings in insert mode.
