DESCRIPTION Most custom completions are about particular bases, contexts, patterns, or buffers, and are pretty fixed about them. But sometimes a special completion (for example, only XML tag names) would be very useful, but it would be overkill to write a complete custom completion for it (even though the CompleteHelper.vim library makes this quite simple). This plugin provides a generic, configurable framework for defining custom completions through simple configuration objects, allowing both global and buffer- or window-scoped completions. So if you e.g. need completion of expressions inside <% ... %> for a particular filetype, you can quickly define such, and assign it to a completion key. SOURCE Inspired by     http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28496473/a-particular-text-tagging-system-in-vim SEE ALSO - Check out the CompleteHelper.vim plugin page (vimscript #3914) for a full   list of insert mode completions powered by it. USAGE In insert mode, invoke the special completion via CTRL-X CTRL-X; you will then be prompted for another key that selects the particular completion. You can then search forward and backward via CTRL-N / CTRL-P, as usual. CTRL-X CTRL-X {key}[...]Find special matches configured for {key}[...] (see                         g:SpecialLocationCompletions).                         Further use of CTRL-X CTRL-X will copy additional text                         (what exactly is customizable, too). The plugin ships with the following global default completions: CTRL-X CTRL-X t         Find pure tag names (without attributes and the                         surrounding <...>) in opening and closing tags. CTRL-X CTRL-X T         Find complete tags (everything inside and including                         the <...>). Further use will copy following complete                         tags (without text in between). CTRL-X CTRL-X CTRL-T    Find tag attributes (name="value") in tags. CTRL-X CTRL-X it        Text between arbitrary tags (<...>text here</...>),                         starting with the base. If none is found, do a relaxed                         search for the base anywhere between arbitrary tags.                         Unlike the it text object, the surrounding tags need                         not match; they can be _any_ opening or closing tags! CTRL-X CTRL-X num       Find decimal numbers starting with / containing the                         base. CTRL-X CTRL-X hex       Find hexadecimal numbers (with or without "0x" prefix)                         starting with / containing the base. CTRL-X CTRL-X uuid      Find UUIDs (c2e9853b-4d8e-48b6-af5a-ef0e6279fa61 and                         c2e9853b4d8e48b6af5aef0e6279fa61) starting with /                         containing the base.

install details

INSTALLATION The code is hosted in a Git repo at     https://github.com/inkarkat/vim-SpecialLocationComplete You can use your favorite plugin manager, or "git clone" into a directory used for Vim packages. Releases are on the "stable" branch, the latest unstable development snapshot on "master". This script is also packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip" decompressor in your PATH, simply edit the *.vmb.gz package in Vim; otherwise, decompress the archive first, e.g. using WinZip. Inside Vim, install by sourcing the vimball or via the :UseVimball command.     vim SpecialLocationComplete*.vmb.gz     :so % To uninstall, use the :RmVimball command. DEPENDENCIES - Requires Vim 7.0 or higher. - Requires the ingo-library.vim plugin (vimscript #4433), version 1.044 or   higher. - Requires the CompleteHelper.vim plugin (vimscript #3914), version 1.40 or   higher. CONFIGURATION For a permanent configuration, put the following commands into your vimrc: This completion can provide an arbitrary number of special completions; these can be available globally, or only in particular buffers or windows. Each completion is defined by a configuration object under a (correspondingly scoped) Dictionary; the key is the (sequence of) character(s) that must be typed after the i_CTRL-X_CTRL-X completion mapping. The following example shows the defaults (which are modeled after the built-in keyword completion), and explains their use:     let g:SpecialLocationCompletions = {     \   'k': {        The key(s) (after i_CTRL-X_CTRL-X) to invoke. No key-notation         supported; i.e. use ^T (as a single char) for <C-t>.     \       'priority': 1000,                Number that influences the position of the completion in the                 printed hints; lower numbers appear first.     \       'description': 'keywords',                An (optional) explanation appended to the key in the prompt. >     \       'complete': '.,w,b,u'                Specifies what is searched, like the 'complete' option. The                 default depends on the config variable scope: visible windows                 for w:, the current buffer for :b, and everything                 configured in 'complete' for g:.     \       'base': '\k\*\%#',                The pattern to locate the completion base (before the cursor). >     \       'patternTemplate': '\<%s\k\+',                With the base inserted at "%s", yields the pattern used to                 search for completions. Can also be a List of pattern                 templates; these are then searched sequentially until one                 pattern yields matches.     \       'emptyBasePattern': '',                Optional alternative pattern to 'patternTemplate' that is used                 when there's no base. Can also be a List; these are then                 searched sequentially until one pattern yields matches.     \       'repeatPatternTemplate': '%s\zs\s*\k\+',                When repeating the completion, yields the pattern to search                 for completions. "%s" is replaced with the full completion,                 "%S" is replaced with just the last added completion part.                 Alternatively, common repeat patterns can also be built from                 the following parts characterized by an anchor, a matching                 atom, and a non-matching in between (this is the default):     \       'repeatAnchorExpr': '\<',     \       'repeatPositiveExpr': '\k',     \       'repeatNegativeExpr': '\%(\k\@!\.\)',                Note: You can't mix-and-match here, if you want to override                 repeatNegativeExpr, you also need to specify the previous ones!     \   }     \} In addition, any other a:options from CompleteHelper#FindMatches() can be specified, too. These are passed to the CompleteHelper function. If you already have a complete-function implementation, and you want to include it in the SpecialLocationComplete under a key (instead of assigning a separate |i_CTRL-X|-... mapping), you can add its 'completefunc' value via     \       'completefunc': 'MyPlugin#Complete', The plugin will just forward the trigger then, and offer repeat completions based on the inserted text, too. If you want to use a different mapping, map your keys to the <Plug>(SpecialLocationComplete) mapping target _before_ sourcing the script (e.g. in your vimrc):     imap <C-x><C-x> <Plug>(SpecialLocationComplete)

SpecialLocationComplete-2.10.vmb.gz	2.10	2024-11-21	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- ENH: Allow to configure existing 'completefunc' with a custom key here, too.   *** You need to update to ingo-library (vimscript #4433) version 1.044! ***
SpecialLocationComplete-2.00.vmb.gz	2.00	2019-05-20	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- FIX: CompleteHelper#Repeat#Processor() condenses a new line and the following indent to a single space; need to translate that. Otherwise, repeats using %S in the a:options.repeatPatternTemplate will not work on tab-indented or multi-line matches. - ENH: Add new <C-t> default completion of full tag attributes (e.g. <tag foo="bar">). - ENH: Support Lists of a:options.patternTemplate and a:options.emptyBasePattern; these are searched sequentially until one yields matches. This allows fallbacks, e.g. a relaxed search anywhere vs. a strict search for base at the beginning. - ENH: Add new it default completion for text between tags. - ENH: Add default completions for decimal and hexadecimal numbers, UUIDs. - ENH: Support sorting of completions via a:options.priority.
