"
" Description:
" - Read the "Documentation With Function Prototypes" section below.
" - Misc. window/buffer related functions, genutils#NumberOfWindows(),
" genutils#FindBufferForName(), genutils#MoveCursorToWindow(),
" genutils#MoveCurLineToWinLine(), genutils#SetupScratchBuffer(),
" genutils#MapAppendCascaded()
" - Save/Restore all the window height/width settings to be restored later.
" - Save/Restore position in the buffer to be restored later. Works like the
" built-in marks feature, but has more to it.
" - genutils#AddNotifyWindowClose() to get notifications *after* a window
" with the specified buffer has been closed or the buffer is unloaded. The
" built-in autocommands can only notify you *before* the window is closed.
" You can use this with the Save/Restore window settings feature to
" restore the dimensions of existing windows, after your window is closed
" (just like how Vim does while closing help windows). See selectbuf.vim
" or perforce.vim for examples.
" There is also a test function called RunNotifyWindowCloseTest() that
" demos the usage (you need to uncomment RunNotifyWindowCloseTest and
" NotifyWindowCloseF functions).
" - genutils#ShowLinesWithSyntax() function to echo lines with syntax coloring.
" - genutils#ShiftWordInSpace(), genutils#CenterWordInSpace() and
" genutils#AlignWordWithWordInPreviousLine() utility functions to move
" words in the space without changing the width of the field. A
" genutils#GetSpacer() function to return a spacer of specified width.
" - Binary search function genutils#BinSearchList() for sorted lists, to
" find the index after which a given item can be inserted to keep the list
" in sorted order. You can also use these functions to just search for
" boundaries.
" There are also a couple of functions genutils#BinSearchForInsert() and
" genutils#BinSearchForInsert2() to find the location for a newline to be
" inserted in an already sorted buffer or arbitrary data.
" There are also a few comparison functions that can be used with sort() or
" the above functions.
" - ExecMap function has now been separated as a plugin called execmap.vim.
" - New genutils#CommonPath() function to extract the common part of two
" paths, and genutils#RelPathFromFile() and genutils#RelPathFromDir() to
" find relative paths (useful HTML href's). A side effect is the
" genutils#CommonString() function to find the common string of two
" strings.
" - genutils#UnEscape() and genutils#DeEscape() functions to reverse and
" genutils#Escape() to compliment what built-in escape() does. There is
" also an genutils#EscapeCommand() function to escape external command
" strings.
" - Utility functions genutils#CurLineHasSign() and genutils#ClearAllSigns()
" to fill in the gaps left by Vim.
" - genutils#GetVimCmdOutput() function to capture the output of Vim built-in
" commands, in a safe manner.
" - genutils#OptClearBuffer() function to clear the contents and undo
" history of the current buffer in an optimal manner. Ideal to be used
" when plugins need to refresh their windows and don't care about
" preserving the current contents (which is the most usual case).
" - genutils#GetPreviewWinnr() function.
" - Functions to have persistent data, genutils#PutPersistentVar() and
" genutils#GetPersistentVar(). You don't need to worry about saving in
" files and reading them back. To disable, set g:genutilsNoPersist in your
" vimrc.
" - A function to emulate the default Vim behavior for |timestamp| changes.
" It also provides hooks to get call backs before and after handling the
" default FileChangedShell autocommand (effectively splitting it into a
" Pre and a Post event). Suggested usage is to use
" genutils#AddToFCShellPre() and either install a default event handling
" mechanism for all files by calling genutils#DefFCShellInstall() or
" create your own autocommand on a matching pattern to call
" genutils#DefFileChangedShell() function. Most useful for the source
" control plugins to conditionally reload a file, while being able to
" default to the Vim's standard behavior of asking the user. See
" perforce.vim for usage examples.
" - Utility function genutils#ExtractFuncListing() that is useful to to
" create snippets (see breakpts.vim, ntservices.vim and ntprocesses.vim
" for interesting ideas on how to use this function).
"
" Function Prototypes:
" The types in prototypes of the functions mimic Java.
" This is just a full list for a quick reference, see
" "Documentation With Function Prototypes" for more information on the
" functions.

" Documentation With Function Prototypes:
" -----------------------
" Useful function to debug passing arguments to functions. See exactly what
" you would receive on the other side.
" Ex: :exec 'call genutils#DebugShowArgs('. genutils#CreateArgString("a 'b' c", ' ') . ')'
"
" void genutils#DebugShowArgs(...)
" -----------------------
" This function returns the body of the specified function ( the name should be
" complete, including any scriptid prefix in case of a script local
" function), without the function header and tail. You can also pass in the
" number of additional lines to be removed from the head and or tail of the
" function.
"
" String genutils#ExtractFuncListing(String funcName, String hLines, String tLines)
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" Return the number of windows open currently.
"
" int genutils#NumberOfWindows()
" -----------------------
" Returns the buffer number of the given fileName if it is already loaded.
" The fileName argument is treated literally, unlike the bufnr() which treats
" the argument as a filename-pattern. The function first escape all the
" |filename-pattern| characters before passing it to bufnr(). It should work
" in most of the cases, except when backslashes are used in non-windows
" platforms, when the result could be unpredictable.
"
" Note: The function removes protections for "#%" characters because, these
" are special characters on Vim commandline, and so are usually escaped
" themselves, but bufnr() wouldn't like them.
"
" int genutils#FindBufferForName(String fileName)
" -----------------------
" Returns the transformed buffer name that is suitable to be used in
" autocommands.
"
" String genutils#GetBufNameForAu(String bufName)
" -----------------------
" Given the window number, moves the cursor to that window.
"
" void genutils#MoveCursorToWindow(int winno)
" -----------------------
" Moves the current line such that it is going to be the nth line in the window
" without changing the column position.
"
" void genutils#MoveCurLineToWinLine(int winLine)
" -----------------------
" Closes the given window and returns to the original window. It the simplest,
" this is equivalent to:
"
" let curWin = winnr()
" exec winnr 'wincmd w'
" close
" exec curWin 'wincmd w'
"
" But the function keeps track of the change in window numbers and restores
" the current window correctly. It also restores the previous window (the
" window that the cursor would jump to when executing "wincmd p" command).
" This is something that all plugins should do while moving around in the
" windows, behind the scenes.
"
" Pass 1 to force closing the window (:close!).
"
" void genutils#CloseWindow(int winnr, boolean force)
" -----------------------
" Remembers the number of the current window as well as the previous-window
" (the one the cursor would jump to when executing "wincmd p" command). To
" determine the window number of the previous-window, the function temporarily
" jumps to the previous-window, so if your script intends to avoid generating
" unnecessary window events, consider disabling window events before calling
" this function (see :h 'eventignore').
"
" void genutils#MarkActiveWindow()
" -----------------------
" Restore the cursor to the window that was previously marked as "active", as
" well as its previous-window (the one the cursor would jump to when executing
" "wincmd p" command). To restore the window number of the previous-window,
" the function temporarily jumps to the previous-window, so if your script
" intends to avoid generating unnecessary window events, consider disabling
" window events before calling this function (see :h 'eventignore').
"
" void genutils#RestoreActiveWindow()
" -----------------------
" Returns 1 if the current window is the only window vertically.
"
" void genutils#IsOnlyVerticalWindow()
" -----------------------
" Returns 1 if the current window is the only window horizontally.
"
" void genutils#IsOnlyHorizontalWindow()
" -----------------------
" Returns the window number of the next window while remaining in the same
" horizontal or vertical window stack (or 0 when there are no more). Pass
" hjkl characters to indicate direction.
" Usage:
" let wn = genutils#GetNextWinnrInStack('h') left window number in stack.
" let wn = genutils#GetNextWinnrInStack('l') right window number in stack.
" let wn = genutils#GetNextWinnrInStack('j') upper window number in stack.
" let wn = genutils#GetNextWinnrInStack('k') lower window number in stack.
"
" int genutils#GetNextWinnrInStack(char dir)
" -----------------------
" Returns the window number of the last window while remaining in the same
" horizontal or vertical window stack (or 0 when there are no more, or it is
" already the last window). Pass hjkl characters to indicate direction.
" Usage:
" let wn = genutils#GetLastWinnrInStack('h') leftmost window number in stack.
" let wn = genutils#GetLastWinnrInStack('l') rightmost window number in stack.
" let wn = genutils#GetLastWinnrInStack('j') top window number in stack.
" let wn = genutils#GetLastWinnrInStack('k') bottom window number in stack.
"
" int genutils#GetLastWinnrInStack(char dir)
" -----------------------
" Move cursor to the next window in stack. See genutils#GetNextWinnrInStack()
" for more information.
"
" void genutils#MoveCursorToNextInWinStack(char dir)
" -----------------------
" Move cursor to the last window in stack. See genutils#GetLastWinnrInStack()
" for more information.
"
" void genutils#MoveCursorToLastInWinStack(char dir)
" -----------------------
" This function, which stands for "execute the given command that creates a
" window, while disabling the 'equalalways' setting", is a means for plugins
" to create new windows without disturbing the existing window dimensions as
" much as possible. This function would not be required if 'equalalways' is
" not set by the user. Even if set, the below code, though intuitive,
" wouldn't work:
" let _equalalways = &equalalways
" set noequalalways
" " open window now.
" let &equalalways = _equalalways
"
" The problem is that while restoring the value of equalalways, if the user
" originally had it set, Vim would immediately try to equalize all the
" window dimensions, which is exactly what we tried to avoid by setting
" 'noequalalways'. The function works around the problem by temporarily
" setting 'winfixheight' in all the existing windows and restoring them
" after done.
" Usage:
" call genutils#OpenWinNoEa('sb ' pluginBuf)
"
" Note: The function doesn't catch any exceptions that are generated by the
" operations, so it is advisable to catch them by the caller itself.
"
" void genutils#OpenWinNoEa(String openWinCmd)
" -----------------------
" This is for the same purpose as described for genutils#OpenWinNoEa()
" function, except that it is used to close a given window. This is just a
" convenience function.
"
" void genutils#CloseWinNoEa(int winnr, boolean force)
" -----------------------
" Turn on some buffer settings that make it suitable to be a scratch buffer.
"
" void genutils#SetupScratchBuffer()
" -----------------------
" Turns off those options that are set by diff to the current window.
" Also removes the 'hor' option from scrollopt (which is a global option).
" Better alternative would be to close the window and reopen the buffer in a
" new window.
"
" void genutils#CleanDiffOptions()
" -----------------------
" This function is an alternative to exists() function, for those odd array
" index names for which the built-in function fails. The var should be
" accessible to this functions, so it shouldn't be a local or script local
" variable.
" if genutils#ArrayVarExists("array", id)
" let val = array{id}
" endif
"
" boolean genutils#ArrayVarExists(String varName, int index)
" -----------------------
" If lhs is already mapped, this function makes sure rhs is appended to it
" instead of overwriting it. If you are rhs has any script local functions,
" make sure you use the <SNR>\d\+_ prefix instead of the <SID> prefix (or the
" <SID> will be replaced by the SNR number of genutils script, instead of
" yours).
" mapMode is used to prefix to "oremap" and used as the map command. E.g., if
" mapMode is 'n', then the function call results in the execution of noremap
" command.
"
" void genutils#MapAppendCascaded(String lhs, String rhs, String mapMode)
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" Saves the heights and widths of the currently open windows for restoring
" later.
"
" void genutils#SaveWindowSettings()
" -----------------------
" Restores the heights of the windows from the information that is saved by
" genutils#SaveWindowSettings(). Works only when the number of windows
" haven't changed since the genutils#SaveWindowSettings is called.
"
" void genutils#RestoreWindowSettings()
" -----------------------
" Reset the previously saved window settings using genutils#SaveWindowSettings.
"
" void genutils#ResetWindowSettings()
" -----------------------
" Same as genutils#SaveWindowSettings, but uses the passed in id to create a
" private copy for the calling script. Pass in a unique id to avoid
" conflicting with other callers. If overwrite is zero and if the settings
" are already stored for the passed in id, it will overwrite previously
" saved settings.
"
" void genutils#SaveWindowSettings2(String id, boolean overwrite)
" -----------------------
" Same as genutils#RestoreWindowSettings, but uses the passed in id to get the
" settings. The settings must have been previously saved using this
" id. Call genutils#ResetWindowSettings2() to explicitly reset the saved
" settings.
"
" void genutils#RestoreWindowSettings2(String id)
" -----------------------
" Reset the previously saved window settings using genutils#SaveWindowSettings2.
" Releases the variables.
"
" void genutils#ResetWindowSettings2(String id)
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" Save the current/last visual selection such that it can be later restored
" using genutils#RestoreVisualSelection(). Pass a unique id such that it will
" not interfere with the other callers to this function. Saved selections
" are not associated with the window so you can later restore the selection
" in any window, provided there are enough lines/columns.
"
" void genutils#SaveVisualSelection(String id)
" -----------------------
" Restore the visual selection that was previuosly saved using
" genutils#SaveVisualSelection().
"
" void genutils#RestoreVisualSelection(String id)
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" This method tries to save the hard position along with the line context This
" is like the vim builtin marker. Pass in a unique id to avoid
" conflicting with other callers.
"
" void genutils#SaveSoftPosition(String id)
" -----------------------
" Restore the cursor position using the information saved by the previous call
" to genutils#SaveSoftPosition. This first calls
" genutils#RestoreHardPosition() and then searches for the original line
" first in the forward direction and then in the backward and positions the
" cursor on the line if found. If the original line is not found it still
" behaves like a call to genutils#RestoreHardPosition. This is similar to
" the functionality of the built-in marker, as Vim is capable of maintaining
" the marker even when the line is moved up or down. However, if there are
" identical lines in the buffer and the original line has moved, this
" function might get confused.
"
" void genutils#RestoreSoftPosition(String id)
" -----------------------
" Reset the previously cursor position using genutils#SaveSoftPosition.
" Releases the variables.
"
" void genutils#ResetSoftPosition(String id)
" -----------------------
" Useful when you want to go to the exact (line, col), but marking will not
" work, or if you simply don't want to disturb the marks. Pass in a unique
" id.
"
" void genutils#SaveHardPosition(String id)
" -----------------------
" Restore the cursor position using the information saved by the previous call
" to genutils#SaveHardPosition.
"
" void genutils#RestoreHardPosition(String id)
" -----------------------
" Reset the previously cursor position using genutils#SaveHardPosition.
" Releases the variables.
"
" void genutils#ResetHardPosition(String id)
" -----------------------
" Return the line number of the previously saved position for the id.
" This is like calling line() builtin function for a mark.
"
" int genutils#GetLinePosition(String id)
" -----------------------
" Return the column number of the previously saved position for the id.
" This is like calling col() builtin function for a mark.
"
" int genutils#GetColPosition(String id)
" -----------------------
" A convenience function to check if a position has been saved (and not reset)
" using the id given.
"
" boolean genutils#IsPositionSet(String id)
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" Cleanup file name such that two *cleaned up* file names are easy to be
" compared. This probably works only on windows and unix platforms. Also
" recognizes UNC paths. Always returns paths with forward slashes only,
" irrespective of what your 'shellslash' setting is. The return path will
" always be a valid path for use in Vim, provided the original path itself
" was valid for the platform (a valid cygwin path after the cleanup will
" still be valid in a cygwin vim). The CleanupFileName2() variant is meant
" for win32, to avoid translating some backslash protections to be treated
" as regular path separators. Pass the characters that are protected, and
" the backslashes infront of them are preserved.
" This function also expands the path, so any environment variables and others
" (such as the "~" for paths relative to home) get expanded (see help on
" expand()).
"
" String genutils#CleanupFileName(String fileName)
" String genutils#CleanupFileName2(String fileName, String win32ProtectedChars)
" -----------------------
" Returns true if the current OS is any of the Microsoft OSes. Most useful to
" know if the path separator is "\".
"
" boolean genutils#OnMS()
" -----------------------
" Returns true if the given path could be an absolute path. Probably works
" only on Unix and Windows platforms.
"
" boolean genutils#PathIsAbsolute(String path)
" -----------------------
" Returns true if the given path doesn't have any directory components.
" Probably works only on Unix and Windows platforms.
"
" boolean genutils#PathIsFileNameOnly(String path)
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" Add a notification to know when a buffer with the given name (referred to as
" windowTitle) is no longer visible in any window. This by functionality is
" like a BufWinLeavePost event. The function functionName is called back
" with the title (buffer name) as an argument. The notification gets removed
" after excuting it, so for future notifications, you need to reregister
" your function. You can only have one notification for any buffer. The
" function should be accessible from the script's local context.
"
" void genutils#AddNotifyWindowClose(String windowTitle, String functionName)
" -----------------------
" Remove the notification previously added using genutils#AddNotifyWindowClose
" function.
"
" void genutils#RemoveNotifyWindowClose(String windowTitle)
" -----------------------
" Normally the plugin checks for closed windows for every WinEnter event, but
" you can force a check at anytime by calling this function.
"
" void genutils#CheckWindowClose()
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" Displays the given line(s) from the current file in the command area (i.e.,
" echo), using that line's syntax highlighting (i.e., WYSIWYG). If no line
" number is given, display the current line.

" Convert Roman numerals to decimal. Doesn't detect format errors.
" Originally,
" From: "Preben Peppe Guldberg" <c928400@student.dtu.dk>

"
" String genutils#Roman2Decimal(String str)
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" Works like the built-in escape(), except that it escapes the specified
" characters only if they are not already escaped, so something like
" genutils#Escape('a\bc\\bd', 'b') would give 'a\bc\\\bd'. The chars value
" directly goes into the [] collection, so it can be anything that is
" accepted in [].
"
" String genutils#Escape(String str, String chars)
" -----------------------
" Works like the reverse of the builtin escape() function, but un-escapes the
" specified characters only if they are already escaped (essentially the
" opposite of genutils#Escape()). The chars value directly goes into the []
" collection, so it can be anything that is acceptable to [].
"
" String genutils#UnEscape(String str, String chars)
" -----------------------
" Works like the reverse of the built-in escape() function. De-escapes all the
" escaped characters. Essentially removes one level of escaping from the
" string, so something like: 'a\b\\\\c\\d' would become 'ab\\c\d'.
"
" String genutils#DeEscape(String str)
" -----------------------
" This function creates a pattern that avoids the given protected characters'
" from getting treated as separators, when used with split(). The argument
" goes directly into the [] atom, so make sure you pass in a valid string.
" When optional argument capture is true, the characters are placed in a
" capturing group.
" Ex:
" let paths = split(&path, genutils#CrUnProtectedCharsPattern(','))
"
" String genutils#CrUnProtectedCharsPattern(String chars, [boolean capture = false])
" -----------------------
" genutils#Escape the passed in shell command with quotes and backslashes such
" a way that the arguments reach the command literally (avoids shell
" interpretations). See the function header for the kind of escapings that
" are done. The first argument is the actual command name, the second
" argument is the arguments to the command and third argument is any pipe
" command that should be appended to the command. The reason the function
" requires them to be passed separately is that the escaping is minimized
" for the first and third arguments. It is preferable to pass args as a Vim7
" List, but it can be passed as a single string with spaces separating the
" arguments (spaces in side each argument then needs to be protected)
" Usage:
" let fullCmd = genutils#EscapeCommand('ls', ['-u', expand('%:h')], ['|', 'grep', 'xxx'])
" Note:
" If the escaped command is used on Vim command-line (such as with ":w !",
" ":r !" and ":!"), you need to further protect '%', '#' and '!' chars,
" even if they are in quotes, to avoid getting expanded by Vim before
" invoking external cmd. However this is not required for using it with
" system() function. The easiest way to escape them is by using the
" genutils#Escape() function as in "Escape(fullCmd, '%#!')".
" String genutils#EscapeCommand(String cmd, List/String args, List/String pipe)
" -----------------------
" Returns the global ST_* constants (g:ST_WIN_CMD, g:ST_WIN_SH, g:ST_UNIX)
" based on the values of shell related settings and the OS on which Vim is
" running.
"
" int genutils#GetShellEnvType()
" -----------------------
"
" Expands the string for the special characters. The return value should
" essentially be what you would see if it was a string constant with
" double-quotes.
" Ex:
" genutils#ExpandStr('a\tA') => 'a A'
" String genutils#ExpandStr(String str)
" -----------------------
" Quotes the passed in string such that it can be used as a string expression
" in :execute. It sorrounds the passed in string with single-quotes while
" escaping any existing single-quotes in the string.
"
" String genutils#QuoteStr(String str)
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" Returns true if the current line has a sign placed.
"
" boolean genutils#CurLineHasSign()
" -----------------------
" Clears all signs in the current buffer.
"
" void genutils#ClearAllSigns()
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" This function is suitable to be used by custom command completion functions
" for expanding filenames conditionally. The user function could, based on
" the context, decide whether to do a file completion or a different custom
" completion. See breakpts and perforce plugins for examples.
" It is also designed such that it can be used directly as a completion
" function, though it would mean you can't pass any parameters.
" Opts parameter is a dictionary of optional parameters. Each parameter has a
" predefined default, but can be overridden by specifying a value in the
" dictionary and change the behavior. Here are the list of params supported:
" - smartSlash: (default: 1)
" -- 1: indicates that the path separator must be chosen based on the
" ArgLead as well as user settings ('shellslash').
" -- 0: always uses forwardslash as the path separator.
" - searchPath: (default: '.')
" -- A comma-separated list of directories, similar to how globpath() works.
" - relativePaths: (default: 0)
" -- 1: return relative paths. Most useful when searchPath has only one
" path, but also useful with multiple paths, when using with
" 'runtimepath' (see :Runtime command in breakpts plugin).
" -- 0: return absolute paths.
" - completionTypes: (default: ['file', 'dir']
" -- 'file': Include plain file types.
" -- 'dir': Include directory types.
" - anchorAtStart: (default: 1)
" -- 1: indicates that the ArgLead should be anchored to the start.
" -- 0: indicates that the ArgLead can occur anywhere in the filename.
" - resultsAsList: (default: 1)
" -- 1: results will be returned as a list
" -- 0: results will be returned as a string with one filename per line.
" - includeOriginal: (default: 1)
" -- 1: ArgLead will be included at the end of results.
" -- 0: ArgLead will not be included.
" - dedupe: (default: 0), useful when relativePaths is 1 or paths repeat
" in searchPath.
" -- 1: expend extra effort to remove duplicates
" -- 0: all results are includes, including any duplicates.
"
" String genutils#UserFileComplete2(String ArgLead, String CmdLine, String
" CursorPos, [Dictionary params])
" -----------------------
" Same as genutils#UserFileComplete2, with the following two parameters (for
" backwards compatibility).
" resultsAsList: 0
" relativePaths: 1
"
" String genutils#UserFileComplete(String ArgLead, String CmdLine, String
" CursorPos, String smartSlash, String searchPath)
" -----------------------
" Same as genutils#UserFileComplete2, except that the "completionTypes" is
" always set to ["dir"].
"
" String genutils#UserDirComplete2(String ArgLead, String CmdLine, String
" CursorPos, [Dictionary params])
" -----------------------
" This is a convenience function to expand filename meta-sequences in the
" given arguments just as Vim would have if given to a user-defined command
" as arguments with completion mode set to "file". Useful
" if you set the completion mode of your command to anything
" other than the "file", and later conditionally expand arguments (for
" characters such as % and # and other sequences such as #10 and <cword>)
" after deciding which arguments represent filenames/patterns.
"
" String genutils#UserFileExpand(String fileArgs)
" -----------------------
" This returns the output of the vim command as a string, without corrupting
" any registers. Returns empty string on errors. Check for v:errmsg after
" calling this function for any error messages.
"
" String genutils#GetVimCmdOutput(String cmd)
" -----------------------
" Clear the contents of the current buffer in an optimum manner. For plugins
" that keep redrawing the contents of its buffer, executing "1,$d" or its
" equivalents result in overloading Vim's undo mechanism. Using this function
" avoids that problem.
"
" void genutils#OptClearBuffer()
" -----------------------
" Returns the window number of the preview window if open or -1 if not.
" int genutils#GetPreviewWinnr()
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" These functions provide a persistent storage mechanism.
"
" Example: Put the following in a file called t.vim in your plugin
" directory and watch the magic. You can set new value using SetVar() and
" see that it returns the same value across session when GetVar() is
" called.
" >>>>t.vim<<<<
" au VimEnter * call LoadSettings()
" au VimLeavePre * call SaveSettings()
"
" function! LoadSettings()
" let s:tVar = genutils#GetPersistentVar("T", "tVar", "defVal")
" endfunction
"
" function! SaveSettings()
" call genutils#PutPersistentVar("T", "tVar", s:tVar)
" endfunction
"
" function! SetVar(val)
" let s:tVar = a:val
" endfunction
"
" function! GetVar()
" return s:tVar
" endfunction
" <<<<t.vim>>>>
"
" The pluginName and persistentVar have to be unique and are case insensitive.
" Ideally called from your VimLeavePre autocommand handler of your plugin.
" This simply creates a global variable which will be persisted by Vim
" through viminfo. The variable can be read back in the next session by the
" plugin using genutils#GetPersistentVar() function, ideally from your
" VimEnter autocommand handler. The pluginName is to provide a name space
" for different plugins, and avoid conflicts in using the same persistentVar
" name.
" This feature uses the '!' option of viminfo, to avoid storing all the
" temporary and other plugin specific global variables getting saved.
"
" void genutils#PutPersistentVar(String pluginName, String persistentVar,
" String value)
" -----------------------
" Ideally called from VimEnter, this simply reads the value of the global
" variable for the persistentVar that is saved in the viminfo in a previous
" session using genutils#PutPersistentVar() and returns it (and default if
" the variable is not found). It removes the variable from global space
" before returning the value, so can be called only once. It also means that
" genutils#PutPersistentVar should be called again in the next VimLeavePre
" if the variable continues to be persisted.
"
" void genutils#GetPersistentVar(String pluginName, String persistentVar,
" String default)
" -----------------------
" -----------------------
" These functions channel the FileChangedShell autocommand and extend it to
" create an additional fictitious FileChangedShellPre and FileChangedShellPost
" events.
"
" Add the given noarg function to the list of functions that need to be
" notified before processing the FileChangedShell event. The function when
" called can expand "<abuf>" or "<afile>" to get the details of the buffer
" for which this autocommand got executed. It should return 0 to mean
" noautoread and 1 to mean autoread the current buffer. It can also return
" -1 to make its return value ignored and use default autoread mechanism
" (which could still be overridden by the return value of other functions).
" The return value of all the functions is ORed to determine the effective
" autoread value.
"
" void genutils#AddToFCShellPre(String funcName)
" -----------------------
" Remove the given function previously added by calling
" genutils#AddToFCShellPre.
"
" void genutils#RemoveFromFCShellPre(String funcName)
" -----------------------
" Same as genutils#AddToFCShellPre except that the function is called after
" the event is processed, so this is like a fictitious FileChangedShellPost
" event.
"
" void genutils#DefFCShellInstall()
" -----------------------
" Uninstall the default autocommand handler that was previously installed
" using genutils#DefFCShellInstall. Calling this function may not actually
" result in removing the handler, in case there are other callers still
" dependent on it (which is kept track of by the number of times
" genutils#DefFCShellInstall has been called).
"
" void genutils#DefFCShellUninstall()
" -----------------------
" This function emulates the Vim's default behavior when a |timestamp| change
" is detected. Register your functions by calling genutils#AddToFCShellPre
" and have this function called during the FileChangedShell event (or just
" install the default handler by calling genutils#DefFCShellInstall). From
" your callbacks, return 1 to mean autoread, 0 to mean noautoread and -1 to
" mean system default (or ignore). The return value of this method is 1 if
" the file was reloaded and 0 otherwise. The return value of all the
" functions is ORed to determine the effective autoread value. See my
" perforce plugin for usage example.
"
" boolean genutils#DefFileChangedShell()
" -----------------------
" Execute a substitute command silently and without corrupting the search
" register. It also preserves the cursor position.
" Ex:
" To insert a tab infrontof all lines:
" call genutils#SilentSubstitute('^', '%s//\t/e')
" To remote all carriage returns at the line ending:
" call genutils#SilentSubstitute("\<CR>$", '%s///e')
"
" void genutils#SilentSubstitute(String pat, String cmd)
" -----------------------
" Delete all lines matching the given pattern silently and without corrupting
" the search register. The range argument if passed should be a valid prefix
" for the :global command. It also preserves the cursor position.
" Ex:
" To delete all lines that are empty:
" call genutils#SilentDelete('^\s*$')
" To delete all lines that are empty only in the range 10 to 100:
" call genutils#SilentDelete('10,100', '^\s*$')
"
" void genutils#SilentDelete(String pat)
" void genutils#SilentDelete(String range, String pat)
" -----------------------
" Can return a spacer from 0 to 80 characters width.
"
" String genutils#GetSpacer(int width)
" -----------------------
" Function to prompt user for an element out of the passed in array. The
" user will be prompted with a list of choices to make. The elements will be
" formatted in to the given number of columns. Each element will be given a
" number that the user can enter to indicate the selection. This is very
" much like the inputlist() method, but better for a large number of options
" formatted into multiple columns (instead of one per row). However, if the
" formatted options run for multiple pages, no special handling is done.
" Params:
" default - The default value for the selection. Default can be the
" element-index or the element itself. If number (type() returns
" 0), it is treated as an index.
" msg - The message that should appear in the prompt (passed to input()).
" skip - The element that needs to be skipped from selection (pass a
" non-existent element to disable this, such as an empty value '').
" useDialog - if true, uses dialogs for prompts, instead of the command-line(
" inputdialog() instead of input()). But personally, I don't
" like this because the power user then can't use the
" expression register.
" nCols - Number of columns to use for formatting the options. Using "1"
" will make the output look very like that of inputlist()
" Returns:
" the selected element or empty string, "" if nothing is selected. Call
" genutils#GetSelectedIndex() for the index entered by the user.
"
" Ex:
" echo genutils#PromptForElement(map(range(0,25),
" \ "nr2char(char2nr('a')+v:val)") , 'd', 'Enter: ', 'x', 1, 5)
" String genutils#PromptForElement(List array,
" [String defaultValue | int defaultIndex], String msg,
" String skip, boolean useDialog, int nCols)
"
" Returns the index of the element selected by the user in the previous
" genutils#PromptForElement call. Returns -1 when the user didn't select
" any element (aborted the selection). This function is useful if there are
" empty or duplicate elements in the selection.
" int genutils#GetSelectedIndex()
" -----------------------
" Deprecations:
" - UserFileComplete() is now deprecated, use UserFileComplete2().
" - CleanDiffOptions() is deprecated as Vim now has the :diffoff command.
" - MakeArgumentString, MakeArgumentList and CreateArgString are deprecated.
" Vim7 now includes call() function to receive and pass argument lists
" around.
" - The g:makeArgumentString and g:makeArgumentList are obsolete and are
" deprecated, please use MakeArgumentString() and MakeArgumentList()
" instead.
" - FindWindowForBuffer() function is now deprecated, as the corresponding
" Vim bugs are fixed. Use the below expr instead:
" bufwinnr(genutils#FindBufferForName(fileName))
" - QSort(), QSort2(), BinInsertSort() and BinInsertSort2() functions are
" now deprecated in favor of sort() function.
"
"
" Sample Usages Or Tips:
" - Add the following commands to create simple sort commands.
" command! -nargs=0 -range=% SortByLength <line1>,<line2>call
" \ genutils#QSort('genutils#CmpByLineLengthNname', 1)
" command! -nargs=0 -range=% RSortByLength <line1>,<line2>call
" \ genutils#QSort('genutils#CmpByLineLengthNname', -1)
" command! -nargs=0 -range=% SortJavaImports <line1>,<line2>call
" \ genutils#QSort('genutils#CmpJavaImports', 1)
"
" - You might like the following mappings to adjust spacing:
" nnoremap <silent> <C-Space> :call genutils#ShiftWordInSpace(1)<CR>
" nnoremap <silent> <C-BS> :call genutils#ShiftWordInSpace(-1)<CR>
" nnoremap <silent> \cw :call genutils#CenterWordInSpace()<CR>
" nnoremap <silent> \va :call
" \ genutils#AlignWordWithWordInPreviousLine()<CR>
"
" - The :find command is very useful to search for a file in path, but it
" doesn't support file completion. Add the following command in your vimrc
" to add this functionality:
" command! -nargs=1 -bang -complete=customlist,genutils#UserFileComplete2
" \ FindInPath :find<bang> <args>
"
" - If you are running commands that generate multiple pages of output, you
" might find it useful to redirect the output to a new buffer. Put the
" following command in your vimrc:
" command! -nargs=* -complete=command Redir
" \ :new | put! =genutils#GetVimCmdOutput('<args>') |
" \ setl bufhidden=wipe | setl nomodified
"
" Changes in 2.5:
" - Improved genutils#CleanupFileName() to expand "~" and environment
" variables. It also works more reliably now.
" - More user friendly version of genutils#UserFileComplete() function
" added as genutils#UserFileComplete2(). It can now be used directly as
" the custom or customlist function in commands (so saves trouble for
" users, as no wrapper needs be written), and also offer various
" customizations via passing params.
" - New function genutils#UserDirComplete2(), which is a customization on
" top of genutils#UserFileComplete2() for the sake of restricting the
" completions to directories only.
" - Minor improvements in genutils#PathIsAbsolute() and
" genutils#GetVimCmdOutput()
" Changes in 2.4:
" - Fixed some corner cases in RelPathFromDir()/RelPathFromFile().
" - Made the default comparators sort() function friendly.
" Changes in 2.3:
" - SilentSubstitute() and SilentDelete() should preserve cursor position.
" - CleanupFileName() should also remove any leading or trailing whitespace.
" Changes in 2.2:
" - EscapeCommand() now supports Lists as arguments.
" - CrUnProtectedCharsPattern() now accepts an optional "capture" argument.
" - Renamed PromptForElement2 to PromptForElement. It was a typo.
" Changes in 2.1:
" - Fixed a typo in AddNotifyWindowClose() in the previous release.
" - Added BinSearchList() function.
" Changes in 2.0:
" - Converted to Vim7 autoload script. Since there is no common prefix to
" find all the usages of genutils functions in your script, Use the
" pattern \<\(:\|>\|#\)\@<!\zs\u\w\+( to find all the global functions and
" prefix the ones from genutils with genutils#.
" - The new version is not backwards compatible with prior versions. If you
" have plugins that depend on the older versions of genutils, you should try
" to request the author to port their plugin to use the new genutils. If
" having them to coexist is a must, then use the below trick:
" - Install the latest version of genutils first. Overwriting all existing
" files.
" - Open the plugin/genutils.vim file and note the value set to
" loaded_genutils variable.
" - Install the older version of genutils (non autoload version) in to
" plugin directory, overwriting the existing file.
" - Open the plugin/genutils.vim again and change the value of
" loaded_genutils variable to the value you noted before and save it.
" - Fix for Save/RestoreHardPosition() not working right when there are
" wrapped lines in the window.
" - Dropped the AddToFCShell and RemoveFromFCShell functions as these can't be
" implemented in Vim7 because of new restrictions on FileChangedShell
" autocommand. Use AddToFcShellPre and RemoveFromFCShellPre functions
" instead.
" - No longer depends on multvals plugin. Inherits some useful functions from
" multvals to make way for it to be retired. New functions are:
" genutils#CrUnProtectedCharsPattern
" PromptForElement/GetSelectedIndex
