description

This is a script emulates Emacs Narrowing feature, by opening a selected range in a new scratch buffer. Similar scripts: narrow_region: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2038 narrow: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2097 narrow: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2446 Use :NarrowRegion to narrow a line based selection or alternatively visually select a range and press <Leader>nr In the scratch buffer simply save it and the changes will be copied into the original file. This is only a very simple help. You should probably read the help, that is provided with the plugin. See :h NarrowRegion This Plugin is also available at github: http://github.com/chrisbra/NrrwRgn Please rate this plugin if you like it!

NrrwRgn-0.18.vba	18	2010-12-11	7.3	Christian Brabandt	Experimental version: - experimental feature: Allow to Narrow several different regions at once using :g/pattern/NRP and afterwards calling :NRM (This only works linewise. Should that be made possible for any reagion?) - disable folds, before writing changes back, otherwise chances are, you'll lose more data then wanted - code cleanup (automatically uploaded)
NrrwRgn-0.17.vba	17	2010-11-30	7.3	Christian Brabandt	- cache the options, that will be set (instead of parsing   $VIMRUNTIME/doc/options.txt everytime) in the Narrowed Window - getting the options didn't work, when using an autocommand like this:   autocmd BufEnter * cd %:p:h   (reported by Hong Xu, Thanks!) - :q didn't clean up the Narrowed Buffer correctly.

NrrwRgn-0.15.vba	0.15	2010-08-26	7.2	Christian Brabandt	-minor documentation update (reported by Hong Xu, Thanks!)
NrrwRgn-0.14.vba	0.14	2010-08-26	7.2	Christian Brabandt	- Bugfix: :only in the original buffer resulted in errors (reported by Adam   Monsen)
NrrwRgn-0.13.vba	0.13	2010-08-22	7.2	Christian Brabandt	This adds the experimental feature of using the command :NUD to view a chunk of a unified diff in diff-mode
NrrwRgn-0.12.vba	0.12	2010-07-28	7.0	Christian Brabandt	The Vimball for Version 0.11 contained some garbage that causes various errors.. So this Version is a new packaged version and should work now. Not sure how that happened. (Thanks Dennis Hostetler!)
NrrwRgn-0.11.vba	0.11	2010-07-28	7.0	Christian Brabandt	Don't set 'winfixwidth' and 'winfixheight'
NrrwRgn-0.10.vba	0.10	2010-05-20	7.0	Christian Brabandt	- Restore Cursorposition using winrestview() and winsaveview() - fix a bug, that prevented the use of visual narrowing - Make sure when closing the narrowed buffer, the content will be written to   the right original region - use topleft for opening the Narrowed window - check, that the original buffer is still available - If you Narrow the complete buffer using :NRV and write the changes back, an   additional trailing line is inserted. Remove that line. - When writing the changes back, update the highlighting.
NrrwRgn-0.9.vba	0.9	2010-05-20	7.0	Christian Brabandt	- It is now possible to Narrow a window recursively. This allows to have   several narrowed windows, and allows for example to only diff certain   regions (as was suggested in a recent thread at the vim_use mailinglist:   http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use/msg/05d7fd9bd1556f0e) therefore, the   use for the g:nrrw_rgn_sepwin variable isn't necessary anymore. - Small documentation updates
NrrwRgn-0.8.vba	0.8	2010-05-18	7.0	Christian Brabandt	- the g:nrrw_rgn_sepwin variable can be used to force seperate Narrowed Windows, so you could easily diff those windows. - make the separating of several windows a little bit safer (look at the bufnr(), so it should work without problems for several buffers) - switch from script local variables to buffer local variables, so narrowing for several buffers should work. - set 'winfixheight' for narrowed window - Added command :NRV (suggested by Charles Campbell, thanks!) - added error handling, in case :NRV is called, without a selected region - take care of beeps, when calling :NRV - output WarningMsg
NrrwRgn-0.7.vba	0.7	2010-05-17	7.0	Christian Brabandt	- really use the black hole register for deleting the old buffer contents in the narrowed buffer (suggestion by esquifit in http://groups.google.com/group/comp.editors/msg/3eb3e3a7c68597db) - make autocommand nesting, so the highlighting will be removed when writing the buffer contents. - Use g:nrrw_rgn_nohl variable to disable highlighting (as this can be disturbing).
NrrwRgn-0.6.vba	0.6	2010-05-04	7.0	Christian Brabandt	Version 0.6: - the previous version had problems restoring the orig buffer, this version fixes it (highlighting and setl ma did not work correctly) Version 0.5 (unreleased): - The mapping that allows for narrowing a visually selected range, did not work.  (Fixed!) - Make :WidenRegion work as expected (close the widened window)
NrrwRgn-0.4.vba	0.4	2010-04-28	7.0	Christian Brabandt	- Highlight narrowed region in the original buffer - Save and Restore search-register - Provide shortcut commands |:NR| - Provide command |:NW| and |:NarrowWindow| - Make plugin autoloadable - Enable GLVS (see |:GLVS|) - Provide Documenation (:h NarrowRegion) - Distribute Plugin as vimball |pi_vimball.txt|
