description

This plugin was written to allow you to save your |signs| easily. Signs can be used to specific highlight certains rows in a buffer. This might be useful when using a debugger or display a |mark|. Note however, that this works only when the signs feature has been compiled into your vim. If you have defined signs in your file, you might want to save these signs to be able to reload these signs later on (e.g. with a |Session|). Therefore this plugin defines the |:SaveSigns| command, which will store all defined signs in a file in such a way that reloading that file will restore all defined signs. When saving Signs, the plugin creates a Vim Script, that can be read in using |:source| It will save Sign Definitions (see |:sign-define|), Sign placements (see |:sign-place|) and the Sign hilighting (see |hl-SignColumn|). Since signs are usually associated with a buffer or a file, sourcing this file using |:source| will only restore those signs whose buffers are loaded in that vim session. Note: All Signs that were defined before reloading this file will be lost. 2.1 :SaveSigns *:SaveSigns* :SaveSigns Store all currently defined signs in a temporary file. This file will be opened in a new split window and you can edit it further. Note: This file won't be saved. You need to explicitly save it. :SaveSigns[!] {name} Store all currently defined signs in a file called {name}. If this file exists, it won't be used a new temporary file will be created. Use ! to force storing the info in that file. This will however erase the file {name}. So use with caution. Keywords: Signs, Save, Restore
