st-vim-history v2.0

Vim patch on top of a custom history patch. Information on the different patch files can be found here, a fully fledged vim patch is provided in st-meta-vim-full-20200530-43a395a.diff.

Version 1 -- Focus and VIM Patch

Contains the first version of the Alpha-Focus and VIM-Selection patches.

Alpha-Focus Highlight

Changes the alpha value of window when focus is gained / lost.

• based on the Alpha patch.

Bugs

• In i3WM, the focus event is triggered twice for one specific window on a workspace (could be the root); hence the alpha values are applied twice which appears as blinking.

VIM Browse

Offers the possibility to move through history, search for strings and use VIM-like motions and operations, such as Visual mode (V, v+ block visual mode) / Yank Mode (y) + Motions (j, k, H, M, L, G, l, h, 0, $, w, W, e, E, b, B, /, ?, n ,N, .) and Quantifiers for motions.

• Search mode: The cursor jumps to the next occurrence (in the selected direction) and highlights all occurrences that are on the screen when arriving at the occurrence.
• All motions are currently circular (hence if no search result is found, continue at the top [if a string can be found there]).
• it is possible to use . in order to re-execute the last command.
• it is possible to define own keys in normal mode by providing a sequence of existing motions.
• Currently based on the Scrollback patch, this dependency will be removed (see Bugs section).

The own sequence shortcuts are not checked for being circular, so something like

struct NormalModeShortcuts normalModeShortcuts [] = {
	{ 'C', "CC\n" },
}

would trigger an infinite loop as soon 'C' is typed in normal mode. This can only happen deliberately; if the character (C) is part of f.i. a search motion, the shortcut works just fine:

struct NormalModeShortcuts normalModeShortcuts [] = {
	{ 'C', "/Cheese\n" },
}

searches for the next occurrence of "Cheese" in the history.

Use cases

• Use Case: custom command: jump to first error when compiling from out of vim
  • using shortcut S defined in configuration file

Bugs

• The following two 'Bugs' will be resolved by removing the dependency on the Scrollback patch which is currently work in progress:
  • Normal mode overrides the output at the cursor position if the current command is still running and outputs text while not in alternate screen mode (not vim / htop etc)
  • in Alternate Screen mode, the current position is reset on repaint (e.g. htop).

Applied Patches

The master branch of https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st has both patches and some other patches applied.
