vim

This is a plan9 port of the vim editor. The port was initially done by stefanha (see https://vmsplice.net/9vim.html).

This fork builds on the initial port and brings a couple extra features (plumber, mouse support) but also bug fixes (mainly shell command execution).

NOTE: An updated version is available here: https://git.sr.ht/~shurizzle/9vim/

plan9 integration:

Here are a couple of things I use to help with integration within plan9.
VIM loads its configuration from $home/lib/vimrc.

mk

To make mk output recognized by quickfix, use the following:

set errorformat+=%tarning:\ %f:%l\ %m
set errorformat+=%tarning:\ %f:%l[%.%#]\ %m
set errorformat+=%f:%l\ %m
set errorformat+=%f:%l[%.%#]\ %m
autocmd BufReadPost quickfix nnoremap <buffer> <CR> <CR>

grep

I use g for grepping through code. You can modify the grepprg variable to do this:

set grepprg=g\ $*

man pages

The included man.vim plugin is modified to work on plan9. First you need to load the plugin:

runtime ftplugin/man.vim

You can now look at man pages using

:Man <keyword>

In addition, you can change the keywordprg variable to display man pages when pressing the K key over a keyword:

set keywordprg=:Man

function signatures

I use the following function to display the signature of the function under the cursor:

function! s:Sig()
	echo system("sig ".expand("<cword>"))
endfunction
command! Sig call s:Sig()

git diff

I use the following function to display the result of git/diff in the current directory as a diff file:

function! s:GitDiff()
	32 new
	setlocal buftype=nofile
	:.!git/diff
	setlocal ft=diff
endfunction
command! Gd call s:GitDiff()

Issues

• Input is borked (nothing beyong ascii, leader key, etc.)
• Other things I'm sure
