You are completely right ...
I started this mail three times, but while writing I started coding....
Now I got it running. My big mistake before were outdated docs (vim
6.4 ...). Newer vims have a :nbkey command that was new to me. Now
everything makes sense (and is already implemented).
We can now map any specialKey in vim to any eclipse-command fairly easy:
At startup of VimConnection we add a KeyCommand2 listener which
reacts to specific key events thrown by vim: This listener class has
also a Handler which performs some action. One handler implementation
is "HandleEclipseCommand" which just launches any eclipse command which
is known by its string-id. Here a snippet from VimConnection:
CommandHandler handler =
new HandleEclipseCommand("org.eclipse.ui.project.buildProject");
listeners.add(new KeyCommand2("C-B",handler));
command(vimID, "specialKeys","\"C-B\"");
When you type ":nbkey C-B" in vim the following happens (simplified):
- vim sends a "keyAtPos XYZ" event to the socket.
- vimplugin reads the event from the socket and creates a VimEvent.
- all listeners are notified about that event
- the KeyCommand2 from above reacts because it is configured to
react to "C-B"s
- the keycommand calls its handler which is the HandleEclipseCommand
- the handler is configurd to exec "org.eclipse.....buildProject"
- The current eclipse project is built.
Current trunk can also do code-completion (details in old class
KeyCommand but that's easy to reenable). I started a handler for that,
but commands/handler have no parameters until now. so thats on my todo
list. The other thing is to make the mapping
specialKey <-> eclipse-command
configurable in preferences.
You see, there are a lot of open issues now, but on that basis it will
be easy to go on now ...
Quite excited,
Sebastian.
