1 Vim Browse 2 ========== 3 4  5 6 7 Description 8 ----------- 9 10 This patch offers the possibility to move through the terminal history, search for strings and use 11 VIM-like motions, operations and quantifiers. 12 13 14 Default Behavior: 15 ----------------- 16 The default behavior listed below can be adapted: 17 18 **Enter Vim Browse Mode**: 19 * `Alt`+`c` 20 21 **Operations in Vim Browse Mode**: 22 * Enter Visual Mode: `V` / `v` 23 * Enter Yank Mode: `Y` 24 25 **Motions in Vim Browse Mode**: 26 * Basic motions: `j`, `k,` `h`, `l`, `H`, `M`, `L`, `0`, `$` like in VIM 27 * Word Move operators: `w`, `W`, `e`, `E`, `b`, `B` similar to VIM 28 * Search Operators: `/`, `?`, `n`, `N` for forward / backward search 29 * Jump to the cursor position prior to entering Vim Browse Mode: `G` 30 * Repeat last command string: `.` 31 * in Visual Mode `v`: use `t` to toggle block selection mode 32 33 **Custom Commands**: 34 Custom arrangements of the aforementioned commands can be defined in the configuration file: 35 36 The shortcut 37 38 ` 39 struct NormalModeShortcuts normalModeShortcuts [] = { 40 { 'C', "/Cheese\n" }, 41 } 42 ` 43 44 searches for the next occurrence of Cheese when the letter C is pressed. 45 Usecases are for instance to jump between executed commands or to last error in a compile error 46 output. 47 48 No sanity checks are performed wrt. the custom shortcuts; the program does not check if the command 49 is circular. Hence the (useless) shortcut 50 51 ` 52 struct NormalModeShortcuts normalModeShortcuts [] = { 53 { 'C', "C" }, 54 } 55 ` 56 57 triggers an infinite loop as soon 'C' is typed in normal mode, because `C` is contained 58 in the shortcut as control character. 59 60 **Search Mode** 61 In search mode, the cursor jumps to the next occurrence of the search string, shifts the screen 62 if necessary and highlights all occurrences of the search string that are currently visible on 63 screen. 64 65 All motions -- including the search mode -- are currently circular, (hence if no search result is 66 found, the search is continued at the top or bottom of the history, depending on the search 67 direction). 68 69 Notes 70 ----- 71 * Currently based on the [Scrollback patch](https://st.suckless.org/patches/scrollback/), 72 this dependency will be removed (see __Bugs__ section). 73 * The patch is applied both to a non-patched version and to a patched version of st 74 and can be tried out [here](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st) (browse the available branches 75 for finding the different versions of the patch). Contributions are welcome. 76 77 Bugs 78 ----- 79 * The following two 'Bugs' will be resolved by removing the dependency on the Scrollback patch 80 which is currently work in progress: 81 * Normal mode overrides the output at the cursor position if the current command is still 82 running and outputs text while not in alternate screen mode (not vim / htop etc) 83 * in Alternate Screen mode, the current position is reset on repaint (e.g. htop). 84 85 86 Download 87 -------- 88 **Most Recent**: 89 * [st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff (Github)](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st/releases/download/patchesV1/st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff) 90 91 **All versions**: 92 * [st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff (Github)](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st/releases/download/patchesV1/st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff) 93 * [st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff (attached)](st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff ) 94 95 Authors of the [Scrollback patch](https://st.suckless.org/patches/scrollback/) 96 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 97 * Jochen Sprickerhof - <st@jochen.sprickerhof.de> 98 * M Farkas-Dyck - <strake888@gmail.com> 99 * Ivan Tham - <pickfire@riseup.net> (mouse scrolling) 100 * Ori Bernstein - <ori@eigenstate.org> (fix memory bug) 101 * Matthias Schoth - <mschoth@gmail.com> (auto altscreen scrolling) 102 * Laslo Hunhold - <dev@frign.de> (unscrambling, git port) 103 * Paride Legovini - <pl@ninthfloor.org> (don't require the Shift modifier 104 when using the auto altscreen scrolling) 105 * Lorenzo Bracco - <devtry@riseup.net> (update base patch, use static 106 variable for config) 107 * Kamil Kleban - <funmaker95@gmail.com> (fix altscreen detection) 108 * Avi Halachmi - <avihpit@yahoo.com> (mouse + altscreen rewrite after `a2c479c`) 109 * Jacob Prosser - <geriatricjacob@cumallover.me> 110 111 112 Authors of the Vim-Browse Patch 113 -------------------------------- 114 * Julius Hülsmann - <juliusHuelsmann [at] gmail [dot] com>
