READ FAQ FIRST if you want more than just syntax highlight and automatic indenting. It is a quick overview over the most important options and mappings provided by Rapid for Vim. For more details see the help file.
Rapid for Vim (7.4 or later) is a collection of Vim scripts to help programming ABB industrial robots.
It provides
- syntax highlighting,
- indenting,
- concealing of structure values (e.g. MoveJ * v2500...),
- support for commentary vimscript #3695, matchit vimscript #39, matchup vimscript #5624 and endwise vimscript #2386,
- mappings and settings to navigate through code in a backup folder structure,
- text objects for functions and comments,
- completion of words from known or custom global files like EIO.cfg,
- mappings to insert a body of a new PROC, FUNC, TRAP et al based on user defined templates or hopefully sane defaults.
Note: Keep your files to edit in one folder or in a regular robot
backup folder structure. Rapid for Vim modifies 'path' accordingly.
Note to Linux users: Keep your files to edit on a FAT file system.
Some features need the case insensitive file system to work properly.
Installation with vim-plug: ~
Put this in your .vimrc: >
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'KnoP-01/rapid-for-vim'
call plug#end()
syntax off " undo what plug#begin() did to syntax
filetype plugin indent off " undo what plug#begin() did to filetype
syntax on " syntax and filetype on in that order
filetype plugin indent on " syntax and filetype on in that order
For the first installation run: >
:PlugInstall
Update every once in a while with: >
:PlugUpdate
Extract the most recent release and copy the folders
/doc, /ftdetect, /ftplugin, /indent and /syntax
into your ~/.vim/ or %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\ directory.
Overwrite rapid.* files from older installation.
Put the following in your .vimrc: >
syntax on " syntax and filetype on in that order
filetype plugin indent on " syntax and filetype on in that order
You may have to run >
:helptags ~/.vim/doc/
or >
:helptags ~/vimfiles/doc/
to use the help within Vim after installation. >
:help rapid
Q: How do I disable an annoying feature of rapid-for-vim?
A: Disable feature in your vimrc, see rapid-options for details: >
let g:rapidShortenQFPath = 0 " don't shorten paths in quickfix
let g:rapidAutoComment = 0 " don't continue comments with o, O or Enter
let g:rapidFormatComments = 0 " don't break comment lines automatically
let g:rapidCommentIndent = 1 " indent comments starting in 1st column too
let g:rapidSpaceIndent = 0 " don't change 'sts', 'sw', 'et' and 'sr'
"let g:rapidConcealStructs = 0 " switch concealing off completely
"let g:rapidConcealStructs = 1 " show structure values at cursorline (default)
let g:rapidConcealStructs = 2 " conceal all structure values
Q: Which keys get mapped to what? Will that override my own mappings?
A: rapid-for-vim will not override existing mappings unless the corresponding
option is explicitly set. To use different key bindings see :help
rapid-key-mappings for <Plug> mappings.
Otherwise rapid-for-vim create the following mappings: >
<F2> Show all structure values
<F3> Show structure values at cursorline
<F4> Conceal all structure values
Override existing mapping with
let g:rapidConcealStructKeyMap = 1
gd Go to or show definition of variable or func, proc et al.
Does override Vim's default. Make Vim's default available with
nnoremap gd gd
Override existing mapping with
let g:rapidGoDefinitionKeyMap = 1
<leader>u List all significant references of word under cursor.
Override existing mapping with
let g:rapidListUsageKeyMap = 1
<leader>f List all PROC/FUNC/TRAP/RECORD of the current file.
Override existing mapping with
let g:rapidListDefKeyMap = 1
[[ Move around functions. Takes a count.
]] Move around functions. Takes a count.
[] Move around functions. Takes a count.
][ Move around functions. Takes a count.
[; Move around comments. Takes a count.
]; Move around comments. Takes a count.
Does override existing mappings and Vim's default.
Disable override existing mappings and Vim's default with
let g:rapidMoveAroundKeyMap = 0
if Inner function text object.
af Around function text object.
aF Around function text object including preceding comments.
Depends on g:rapidMoveAroundKeyMap not existing or =1.
Override existing mapping with
let g:rapidFunctionTextObject = 1
ic Inner comment text object.
ac Around comment text object.
Depends on g:rapidMoveAroundKeyMap not existing or =1.
Override existing mapping with
let g:rapidCommentTextObject = 1
<leader>n Inserts a new PROC/FUNC/TRAP/RECORD.
Override existing mapping with
let g:rapidAutoFormKeyMap = 1
Q: When I switch syntax off I get false indentation sometimes?
A: Indentation partly depends on syntax on . If you have strings with ! or
keywords in it Indentation may get confused without syntax on. It should
do fine for the most part of your editing. See next question.
Q: Does rapid-for-vim provide a mapping for indenting the whole file?
A: No, but you may put the following in your .vimrc or
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/rapid.vim: >
nnoremap ANYKEY gg=G``zz
or if you don't use syntax highlighting >
nnoremap ANYKEY :syntax on<bar>normal gg=G``zz<cr>:syntax off<cr>
Q: Scrolling feels sluggish. What can I do?
A: Switch error highlighting off: >
let g:rapidShowError = 0 " better performance
Q: Still sluggish!
A: Switch syntax off or jump instead of scroll!
Q: Where are the nice and informative messages?
A: :let g:knopVerbose=1 any time.
