viPlugin for Eclipse

Hi all,

I have some patches in the queue that I will try out today. Expect 1.20.0 soon.

- 0000646: [eclipse_integration] CommandMode is shown within status bar without the vi-Plugin being enabled
- 0000647: [eclipse_integration] The labels CommandMode and InsertMode do not follow the Eclipse UI guidelines
- 0000637: [eclipse_integration] vi plugin outputs too much debug info into the Eclipse log. Locks the "Error Log" view

Have fun,
Michael

Hello,

ChangeLog:

- 0000612: [vim_compatibility] add text object selection commands like i( a[ i" ...
- 0000294: [vim_compatibility] Support using on commands, for example y6
- 0000613: [vim_compatibility] Putting an unused register puts "null"
- 0000581: [eclipse_integration] viPlugin should read the Eclipse Bookmarks on startup
- 0000528: [vim_compatibility] Marks not updated after text insert/delete
- 0000574: [editor_integration] Moving down wraps at the last line of the line back to the top

Have fun,

Hi all,

As everybody and his brother seems to twitter these days I thought I'd join.

Hi folks,

I heard the voices and finally managed to do all the preliminary work to allow paying customers access to the SVN repository. Still missing is some kind of hacking guide, but I know you are smart guys and will find out the bits and pieces on your way, until I have written one :-)

The not so long and winding road to access:

- Head over to http://www.xp-dev.com/ and create and account
- Write me an email to gnosticus at gmx dot at with your xp-dev username and the name or email address you used to buy the viplugin
- I read my emails and add you as read-only to the repository
- If you want you can send patches back to me so they find their way back into the trunk

Voila!

Legal stuff:
You are allowed to modify the source code for your own use, but you are not allowed to give, rent or sell the source code to any third party.

Who would have thought?

Have fun,
Michael

Hi all,

What's new:

- 0000311: [Other] Add text object motion commands to operators, esp yank
- 0000203: [vim_compatibility] Word selection is inconsistent.
- 0000606: [editor_integration] cw issue
- 0000605: [vim_compatibility] d{linenumber}gg ignores linenumber
- 0000580: [eclipse_integration] new status bar for command editing loses focus when tab is pressed instead of inserting a tab
- 0000582: [eclipse_integration] New status bar 'CommandMode' does not work with multiple Eclipse windows
- 0000555: [eclipse_integration] missing slashes in :%s replace causes NPE and seize-up
- 0000601: [eclipse_integration] In dual-window instance, : sequence can place focus on the wrong window
- 0000603: [vim_compatibility] :version does nothing
- 0000592: [eclipse_integration] viStatusTrimWidget causes SWTException

Please note that not all (there's an insane number of possibilities) Text Object selections have been implemented. Only those that have been requested most. I will add more in the next releases.

Second note: Vote for bugs to be fixed in the 1.18.0 release.

Final thought: I'm also thinking about opening up the source to paying customers. Currently I consider a private read-only SVN repository. You can then send me patches if you want your changes incorporated into the main build. It's not set in stone yet, but the preliminary work like setting up the repository and user management has been done.

Yes, yes! I know one month has already past, so I'm late.
What kept me busy, you ask?

The server (web and cvs) has been hacked. Not only once but thrice! After spending my time looking for security holes and wading through changelogs I've given up. I switched from a dedicated root server to webhosting only, switched my cvs repository to svn and moved it to xp-dev.com (free subversion hosting, very good!) and moved all the databases and homepage to our glory new domain viplugin.com!

Hello,

I've tried to fix the issue with the new statusbar feature not completely showing in MacOS X. As I have no Mac I can't really test it.

Please download viPlugin 1.16.1 and give it a try.

All other user do not need to download this version, as there are no other bugfixes. I'll hack away on 1.17.0 soon and it will be released before New Year's Eve ;-)

Hello everybody,

I'm releasing viPlugin 1.16.0. Fixed some more bugs and added some small enhancements to the status bar after beta 2. Couldn't reproduce the MacOS X bug. I've probably squashed it while working on the statusbar, before I had access to test it with a Mac.

Here the ChangeLog:

- 0000403: [editor_integration] would be nice to be able to use ctrl-v to paste clipboard when on search
- 0000134: [eclipse_integration] editing a command or search in command mode
- 0000216: [Other] vim status bar
- 0000566: [Other] :vim tries to open gvim.exe on linux
- 0000567: [eclipse_integration] Feature request - enhancements to :vim command
- 0000570: [vim_compatibility] Choose delimiter for search and replace function

Vote for bugs/feature in the Roadmap of the 1.17.0 release:

Hello all,

After the first reports it's clear that the new statusbar does not work with Eclipse < 3.3. To make it work again I split it into a separate statusbar feature. So for all Eclipse >= 3.3 users, please download the new beta 2 and give it a try (download both features). For the others it won't make sense yet to download it, because all changes so far have been only to the statusbar.

If someone else has the problem that "/" or ":" appears twice after typing it once, please drop me a note with your Eclipse distribution, version and OS.

Also in 1.16.0 will be:

Thanks & Have fun,
Michael

Hello fellow developers,

I finally managed to work around all the issues with the new viPlugin status bar. At least all that I found :-)
Because I'm not so sure that there are no lurking bugs anymore I invite you to try out the beta version 1.16.0 by pointing your update manager to satokar.com. The beta period will be one week, so 1.16.0 final will be released on the 20th (probably with some additional bugfixing here and there).

Until then I hope some of you will join me in testing this beast :-)

Happy coding,
Michael
