vis-filetype-settings (move-events branch)

This plugin provides a declarative interface for setting vis options depending on filetype.

It expects an attribute called settings to be defined:

ftset.settings = {
    markdown = {"set expandtab on", "set tabwidth 4"}
}

In this variable, filetypes are mapped to sets of settings that toare be executed when a window containing the specified filetype opis ened.

If you want to do more than setting simple options, you can specify a function instead:

ftset.settings = {
    bash = function(win)
        -- do things for shell scripts
    end
}

More events

By default, all settings are run on the WIN_OPEN event, but if wayou nt, you can specify your own event.

For more information about these events, check out the documentation for the Lua API. Below is a description of which events are supported by this plugin.

File events

• FILE_OPEN
• FILE_CLOSE
• FILE_SAVE_POST
• FILE_SAVE_PRE

ftset.settings = {
    go = {"set et off", "set tw 8", FILE_SAVE_PRE = "gofmt"}
}

This will execute the vis command gofmt when Go files are saved.

WARNING: The command will run in the current window, regardless of whether it contains a Go file.

Window events

• WIN_CLOSE
• WIN_HIGHLIGHT
• WIN_OPEN
• WIN_STATUS

WIN_OPEN is the default event.

Other events

• INPUT

WARNING: If you run a vis command on INPUT, vis will automatically return to normal mode. There is currently no workaround, as far as I am aware.

Installation

As a suggestion, copy vis-filetype-settings.lua into ~/.config/vis/plugins/ and add the following to your visrc.lua:

ftset = require("plugins/vis-filetype-settings")

ftset.settings = {
    filetype = settings
}
