How to work

If you want to write ~/.dotfiles/AutoHotkey.ahk when /mnt/c/Users/you/Desktop/AutoHotkey.ahk:

1. Configure your .vimrc

" Also paths like '~/' are available.
" These are expanded by `expand()`
let g:write_sync_lists = [
  \ [
    \ '~/.dotfiles/AutoHotkey.ahk',
    \ '/mnt/c/Users/you/Desktop/AutoHotkey.ahk',
  \ ]
\ ]

2. (Confirm that the file to be synchronized does not yet exist)

$ ls /mnt/c/Users/you/Desktop/AutoHotkey.ahk
ls: cannot access '/mnt/c/Users/you/Desktop/AutoHotkey.ahk': No such file or directory

# Or

$ cat /mnt/c/Users/you/Desktop/AutoHotkey.ahk
(an another content)

3. Edit a synchronized source file

$ vim ~/.dotfiles/AutoHotkey.ahk

~/.dotfiles/AutoHotkey.ahk

# You wrote some content.
# ...

4. Check the another file

$ cat /mnt/c/Users/you/Desktop/AutoHotkey.ahk
# You wrote some content.
# ...

Good.

Other options

" Notify result by `:echo` when file synchronization (simultaneous writes) is finished (default: v:false)
let g:write_sync_echo_success_on_write = v:true

" Create the file to write if this is `v:true` and the file does not exist (default: v:true)
let g:write_sync_create_file_if_not_exists = v:true

Installation

• Example for dein.vim.
  • See dein#add()

~/.vimrc

call dein#begin(s:dein_base)
" ...
call dein#add('aiya000/vim-write-sync')
" ...
call dein#end()

Then, do call dein#install().
