Sling is a snappy run configuration launcher for Vim 8.1+ and Neovim!
The script reads a text file line by line and sends the inputs to a spawned terminal in Vim.
- Using vim-pathogen
run git clone https://github.com/Sn00pbom/vim-sling ~/.vim/bundle/vim-sling
- Using vim-plug:
Add to your init.vim
Plug 'Sn00pbom/vim-sling'Then restart and run :PlugInstall.
By default, Sling looks for a .sling file in the working directory.
Executing :Sling will launch the file in one of two modes:
- Shell Mode: If the first line of the file begins with a shebang(
#!), the file will be executed as a shell script. - Terminal Mode: If the first line of the file doesn't begin with a shebang(
#!), the file will directly send inputs to the terminal spawned at run time.
You can bind Sling to your key combo of choice like so
" Default Sling path is ./.sling
nnoremap <F5> :Sling<CR>You can set a default path name if you like
let g:sling#sling_path = "./.gnils"
nnoremap <F5> :Sling<CR>You can also set an absolute path as default!
let g:sling#sling_path = "~/my_folder/.sling"
nnoremap <F5> :Sling<CR>Or you can bind multiple sling files by calling directly
nnoremap <F5> call Sling("./.sling1")<CR>
nnoremap <F6> call Sling("./.sling2")<CR>By default, if a sling file is missing, a buffer will open to edit it. This behavior can be changed with the following
let g:sling#edit_on_missing = 0
