The letter k takes us up one line and J joins the current line with the line below. The date command appears on a new line so we have to be a little clever in the macro joining the two lines together.
This comes before entering the command mode and running the date command. Then the F3 key is then mapped to add a new line below and type some commented text. We can do this from within vim but really we would make this permanent but adding something like this to our ~/.vimrc file: map i#!/bin/bash map o#This file was created on :r!date "+\%x"kJįirstly we map the F2 key entering the insert mode and adding our shebang. Thankfully the developers at VIM has thought of this for us and allow us tp map a key to this macro. It would be easier to just type the date without worrying about the VIM syntax. Now, of course, we do not want to type all this in every time we need the date. Command completion is supported in all places that make sense. Users can add, edit, and delete snippets within vim. As vim will struggle with the %, we escape that character and write as in the following: Simple utility for managing snippets of text within vim.
#Vim snippets full
This does add the date but, of course, it is just the full date using date +%x we can display just the date. vimrc As neovim is mostly compatible with standard vim, you can symlink nvim/init. For example to read the data and time into the current document we can use the following command: As well as reading in files to vim we can read the output from commands just add the exclamation mark in from the command.
#Vim snippets code
With our code snippets in place, we can look at other shortcuts that we may want to make use of such as using commands or key maps in vim. To read and existing file into the current document when using vim we can use the following code from the command menu: In here just create a collection of files with names based on the type of code example they contain, such as if, while etc. A code snippet is nothing more than us pre-creating sample code and reading that code backing to VIM when we need it.Ĭonsider creating a subfolder in your home directory called snippets. Made with vim and vigor by David Hu, Sophie Alpert, and Emily Eisenberg. Plugin usage data is extracted from dotfiles repos on GitHub.
Snipmate and UltiSnips formats are supported. Vim Awesome is a directory of Vim plugins sourced from GitHub, Vim.org, and user submissions. Creating code snippets that we can read into new shell scripts is a great way of providing standardization and reference. This repository contains many different snippets files for various programming languages. Having looked at lesson 1 at the very basics of creating bash shell scripts we want to ensure that we code correctly.
