Porting to vim

[Jwong684]

This is a useful tutorial to get into vim syntax:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Creating_your_own_syntax_files

Enable syntax in ~/.vimrc:

syntax enable

There is essentially a vim folder in your home directory:
Make these subdirectories:

• ~/.vim/syntax
• ~/.vim/ftdetect
  The files in these subdirectories must match. (i.e. fasta.vim in each of those folders for *.fasta)
  in ftdetect/fasta.vim: (detects file formats)

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.fasta set filetype=fasta
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.fa set filetype=fasta

In syntax/fasta.vim: (specifications)

if exists("syntax_on")
        syntax reset
endif

syntax match comment ">.*$"
syntax match ntA "A"
syntax match ntG "G"
syntax match ntC "C"
syntax match ntT "T"

hi def link comment Identifier
highlight ntA ctermfg=Black ctermbg=Green guibg=#272822
highlight ntG ctermfg=Black ctermbg=Yellow guibg=#FF8C00
highlight ntC ctermfg=Black ctermbg=Blue guibg=#2A0AFD
highlight ntT ctermfg=Black ctermbg=Red guibg=#FD0A0A

Something kept breaking when I followed the online tutorial so I broke it down to this skeleton for now. More to come.

Hey, Jasper, I am back in the action! What type of file formats have you already done for vim? Is it only fasta? I will focus on pdb, vcf and bed (or you've done this one already?) files for now. If you need any help, just ask

[Jwong684]

Hey German,

I have also just started looking at this haha. I will do bed, since it seems relatively straightforward.

If you have any code pertaining to some useful regexp in vim, please share it on here. I think it would be more helpful to see your logic rather than rely on some variable forums on vim regexp.

Thank you!

Jasper

@Jwong684 Vim Robust Column Selection is now solved: there might be another way to do using nextgroup= but we can worry about that if need be, this is good for now.
