description

The intention of this project is to provide a C-reference manual that can be viewed with Vim and accessed from within Vim. The C-reference is a reference, it is NOT a tutorial or a guide on how to write C-programs. It is a quick reference to the functions and syntax of the standard C language. There are several ways to specify a word CRefVim should search for in order to view help:   <Leader>cr normal mode:  get help for word under cursor                            Memory aid cr: (c)-(r)eference   <Leader>cr visual mode:  get help for visually selected text                            Memory aid cr: (c)-(r)eference   <Leader>cw:              prompt for word CRefVim should search for                            Memory aid cw: (c)-reference (w)hat   <Leader>cc:              jump to table of contents of the C-reference manual                            Memory aid cc: (c)-reference (c)ontents Note: by default <Leader> is \, e.g. press \cr to invoke C-reference Note: The best way to search for an operator (++, --, %, ...) is to visually select it and press <Leader>cr. To get help do :help crefvimdoc To show the C-reference manual do :help crefvim

install details

CRefVim consists of four files, the script 'crefvim.vim', its documentation 'crefvimdoc.txt', the C-reference 'crefvim.txt' and a syntax file to extend the standard syntax highlighting for help files called 'help.vim'. Copy the script "crefvim.vim" to your local plugin-directory   Unix:    ~/.vim/plugin   Windows: c:\vimfiles\plugin You have to add the documentation and the C-reference to Vim's help system. To do this, copy both 'crefvimdoc.txt' and 'crefvim.txt' to your local doc-directory:   Unix:    ~/.vim/doc   Windows: c:\vimfiles\doc Then start Vim and do:   :helptags ~/.vim/doc   (or :helptags c:\vimfiles\doc for Windows) Finally the standard help syntax highlighting must be extended, so that the C-reference is viewed correctly. To do so, copy the file 'help.vim' to your local after/syntax directory:   Unix:    ~/.vim/after/syntax   Windows: c:\vimfiles\after\syntax This extention of the help syntax file is only active for the C-reference manual. That's all to do.
