2. Positioning *cecutil-posn* *cecutil-position*
let winposn= SaveWinPosn() *cecutil-savewinposn*
This operation will save window position in winposn variable and
on a (buffer local) b:winposn{} stack.
call SaveWinPosn()
This function will save window position in b:winposn{b:iwinposn}
let winposn= SaveWinPosn(0)
This operation will _only_ save the window position in winposn variable.
Ie. the window position will not appear on the b:winposn{} stack. You
will then need to use RestoreWinPosn(winposn) to restore to this window
position.
call RestoreWinPosn() *cecutil-restorewinposn*
This function call will use the local buffer b:winposn{} stack to
restore the last window position saved therein. It will also
pop the stack.
call RestoreWinPosn(winposn)
This function call will use the winposn variable and restore
the window position accordingly. It will also search the
stack and remove any similar entry from the stack.
*cecutil-map* *cecutil-cmd* *cecutil-swp* *cecutil-rwp*
\swp : save current window position (uses the b:winposn{} stack)
:SWP like \swp, but provided as a command
\rwp : restore window position (uses the b:winposn{} stack)
:RWP like \rwp, but provided as a command
==============================================================================
3. Marks *cecutil-marks*
call SaveMark(markname) *cecutil-savemark*
let savemark= SaveMark(markname)
SM markname >
ex. call SaveMark("a")
let savemarkb= SaveMark("b")
:SM a
<
This function saves a string in the global variable g:savemark_{markname}
which contains sufficient information to completely restore the position
of a mark. It also returns that string.
call RestoreMark(markname) *cecutil-restoremark*
call RestoreMark(savemark)
This function either takes a single-character string (ex. "a") and uses
g:savemark_{markname} to restore the mark position or assumes that
the string passed to it is a SaveMark() string (and uses it to restore
the mark). >
ex. call RestoreMark("a")
call RestoreMark(savemarkb)
:RM a
<
call DestroyMark(markname) *cecutil-destroymark*
The DestroyMark() function completely removes a mark. It does this
by saving the window position, copying line one, putting the
to-be-destroyed mark on that new line, deleting the new line, and
then restoring the window position. The windows' modified status
is preserved. >
ex. call DestroyMark("a")
:DM a
<
==============================================================================
4.Maps *cecutil-maps*
*cecutil-saveusermaps*
call SaveUserMaps(mapmode,maplead,mapchx,suffix)
This function sets up a script-variable (ie. a variable that can
generally be accessed only from within cecutil's own functions;
see |s:|) called s:restoremap. The selected user's maps are appended
to this variable; the RestoreUserMaps() (|cecutil-restoreusermaps|)
function uses the contents of this variable to restore user maps.
mapmode - see :help maparg for its list (see |maparg()|) >
ex. "n" = Normal
< Will now accept an optional leading "u"; if present,
SaveUserMaps() will save and unmap (otherwise, it
will save only)
mapchx - "<something>" handled as a single map item. >
ex. "<left>"
< - "string" a string of single letters which are actually
multiple two-letter maps
maplead - the maps are assumed to have the form >
maplead . each_character_in_string
< ex. maplead="\" and mapchx="abc" saves mappings for >
\a, \b, and \c
< Of course, if maplead is "", then for mapchx="abc",
mappings for just a, b, and c are saved.
- :something handled as a single map item, w/o the ":" >
ex. mapchx= ":abc"
< will save the user mapping for "abc"
suffix - a string unique to your plugin >
ex. suffix= "DrawIt"
<
Some examples follow: >
call SaveUserMaps("n","","webWEBjklh$0%;,nN","HiMtchBrkt")
< normal mode maps for w, e, b, W, E, B, j, k, l, etc
(if any) are all saved in the variable
s:restoremaps_HiMtchBrkt >
call SaveUserMaps("n","","<up>","DrawIt")
< the normal mode map (if any) for the <up> key is saved in
the variable s:restoremaps_DrawIt >
call SaveUserMaps("n","",":F(","HiMtchBrkt")
< the normal mode map for F( (if any) is saved in the
variable s:restoremaps_HiMtchBrkt
call RestoreUserMaps(suffix)
The usermaps saved by SaveUserMaps() with the given suffix will be
restored (ie. s:restoremaps_{suffix}). Example: >
call RestoreUserMaps("HiMtchBrkt")
< will restore all user maps redefined for the HiMtchBrkt plugin

5. History *cecutil-history* {{{1
v17 Sep 04, 2007 : * new function, QArgSplitter(), included
v16 Oct 30, 2006 : * com -> com! so AsNeeded is happier
Feb 12, 2007 * fixed a bug where :somemap (a map of "somemap")
did not use the optional mapleader (so it'd be
a map of "\somemap", if "\" is the mapleader).
(problem pointed out by Michael Zhang)
v15 Jan 25, 2006 : * bypass for report option for DestroyMark() included
* SaveWinPosn() and RestoreWinPosn() now handle an
empty buffer
* b:(varname) now use b:cecutil_(varname)
* map restoration improved
v14 Jan 23, 2006 : * bypasses for si, so, and siso options included
Jan 25, 2006 * SaveUserMaps' mapmode argument, heretofore just
a single letter (see |maparg()|), now accepts a
leading "u". If present, SaveUserMaps() will
do an unmap.
v13 Jan 12, 2006 : * SaveUserMaps() was saving user maps but then also
unmap'ing them. HiMtchBrkt needed to append a
function call to maps, not overwrite them. So
the new SaveUserMaps() just saves user maps,
leaving their definitions in place.
Jan 18, 2006 * keepjumps used to avoid jumplist changes when
using SaveWinPosn() and RestoreWinPosn()
v12 Dec 29, 2005 : * bugfix (affected Mines.vim)
v11 Dec 29, 2005 : * two new functions (SaveUserMaps() and
RestoreUserMaps() )
v10 Nov 22, 2005 : * SaveWinPosn bugfix
v9 Jun 02, 2005 : * <q-args> produces a "" argument when there are
no arguments, which caused difficulties. Fixed.
v8 Apr 22, 2005 : * <q-args> used to handle marknames with commands
Thus, :DM a will delete mark a
v7 Mar 10, 2005 : * removed zO from saved window position; caused
problems with ftplugin/currfunc.vim
* doing a SWP and RWP on an empty buffer produced
"empty buffer" messages; now these are ignored
Apr 13, 2005 * command (SWP RWP MP SP etc) now have -bar so
that the "|" can be used to chain such commands
v6 Feb 17, 2005 : * improved SaveMark() and RestoreMark()
v5 Jan 18, 2005 : * s:loaded_winposn changed to g:loaded_cecutil
v4 Oct 25, 2004 : * changed com! to com so that error messages will
be given when there's a command-name conflict
v3 May 19, 2004 : * bugfix: the sequence \swp\rwp wasn't working right
* bugfix: \swp...\rwp was echoing the current
line when the \rwp should've been silent
* improved Dfunc/Decho/Dret debugging
