# tslime-input.vim

This plugin is a simple convenience wrapper around tslime to enable repeat commands to be run from vim.

I tried vimux for running commands in a tmux window, but I like the way tslime prompts for user input on commands. I also liked the way you could repeat commands with vimux. I've created this plugin to merge the two functionalities I liked from both plugins, and now my workflow is very simple.

## Example

I have the two important functions mapped to <leader>a for running the command, and <leader>R for resetting the behaviour. I usually have a narrow pane open to the right of my vim window for running things. I can quickly set this up by running

• <leader>a
• inputting my command and watching my tests run, or my main script to run
• calling <leader>a as many times as I want to run the same command again
• should I need a new command, I run <leader>R <leader>a and input my new command.

Commands

Three functions are made available:

TslimeAskForCommand

This function prompts for user input the first time it's run, and on subsequent runs it repeats the last command.

The command autocompletes any previous commands run.

TslimeResetLastCommand

This resets the previously last run command if set. This also calls TslimeResetTslimeSettings.

TslimeResetTslimeSettings

This function resets the internal tslime settings variable, which contains the tmux session/window/pane to use.

Key mappings

The user is responsible for setting their own keyboard mappings, but an example can be

nmap <leader>a :call TslimeAskForCommand()<CR>
nmap <leader>R :call TslimeResetLastCommand()<CR>
