1 Vim Browse 2 ========== 3 4 Description 5 ----------- 6 This patch offers the possibility to move through the terminal history, search for strings and use 7 VIM-like motions, operations and quantifiers. 8 9 10 Default Behavior: 11 ----------------- 12 The default behavior listed below can be adapted: 13 14 **Enter Vim Browse Mode**: 15 * `Alt`+`c` 16 17 **Operations in Vim Browse Mode**: 18 * Enter Visual Mode: `V` / `v` 19 * Enter Yank Mode: `Y` 20 21 **Motions in Vim Browse Mode**: 22 * Basic motions: `j`, `k,` `h`, `l`, `H`, `M`, `L`, `0`, `$` like in VIM 23 * Word Move operators: `w`, `W`, `e`, `E`, `b`, `B` similar to VIM 24 * Search Operators: `/`, `?`, `n`, `N` for forward / backward search 25 * Jump to the cursor position prior to entering Vim Browse Mode: `G` 26 * Repeat last command string: `.` 27 * in Visual Mode `v`: use `t` to toggle block selection mode 28 29 **Custom Commands**: 30 Custom arrangements of the aforementioned commands can be defined in the configuration file: 31 32 The shortcut 33 34 ` 35 struct NormalModeShortcuts normalModeShortcuts [] = { 36 { 'C', "/Cheese\n" }, 37 } 38 ` 39 40 searches for the next occurrence of Cheese when the letter C is pressed. 41 Usecases are for instance to jump between executed commands or to last error in a compile error 42 output. 43 44 No sanity checks are performed wrt. the custom shortcuts; the program does not check if the command 45 is circular. Hence the (useless) shortcut 46 47 ` 48 struct NormalModeShortcuts normalModeShortcuts [] = { 49 { 'C', "C" }, 50 } 51 ` 52 53 triggers an infinite loop as soon 'C' is typed in normal mode, because `C` is contained 54 in the shortcut as control character. 55 56 **Search Mode** 57 In search mode, the cursor jumps to the next occurrence of the search string, shifts the screen 58 if necessary and highlights all occurrences of the search string that are currently visible on 59 screen. 60 61 All motions -- including the search mode -- are currently circular, (hence if no search result is 62 found, the search is continued at the top or bottom of the history, depending on the search 63 direction). 64 65 Screenshot 66 ---------- 67  68 69 Contributions + Bug Reports 70 --------------------------- 71 * [Issues](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3AvimBrowse) 72 73 74 Notes 75 ----- 76 * Currently based on the [Scrollback patch](https://st.suckless.org/patches/scrollback/), 77 this dependency will be removed (see __Bugs__ section). 78 * The patch is applied both to a non-patched version and to a patched version of st 79 and can be tried out [here](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st) (browse the available branches 80 for finding the different versions of the patch). Contributions are welcome. 81 82 Bugs 83 ----- 84 * The following two 'Bugs' will be resolved by removing the dependency on the Scrollback patch 85 which is currently work in progress: 86 * Normal mode overrides the output at the cursor position if the current command is still 87 running and outputs text while not in alternate screen mode (not vim / htop etc) 88 * in Alternate Screen mode, the current position is reset on repaint (e.g. htop). 89 90 91 Download 92 -------- 93 94 **All versions**: 95 * [st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff (attached)](st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff ) 96 * [st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff (Github)](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st/releases/download/patchesV1/st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff) 97 98 **Most Recent**: 99 * [st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff (Github)](https://github.com/juliusHuelsmann/st/releases/download/patchesV1/st-vimBrowse-20191107-2b8333f.diff) 100 101 102 Authors of the [Scrollback patch](https://st.suckless.org/patches/scrollback/) 103 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 104 * Jochen Sprickerhof - <st@jochen.sprickerhof.de> 105 * M Farkas-Dyck - <strake888@gmail.com> 106 * Ivan Tham - <pickfire@riseup.net> (mouse scrolling) 107 * Ori Bernstein - <ori@eigenstate.org> (fix memory bug) 108 * Matthias Schoth - <mschoth@gmail.com> (auto altscreen scrolling) 109 * Laslo Hunhold - <dev@frign.de> (unscrambling, git port) 110 * Paride Legovini - <pl@ninthfloor.org> (don't require the Shift modifier 111 when using the auto altscreen scrolling) 112 * Lorenzo Bracco - <devtry@riseup.net> (update base patch, use static 113 variable for config) 114 * Kamil Kleban - <funmaker95@gmail.com> (fix altscreen detection) 115 * Avi Halachmi - <avihpit@yahoo.com> (mouse + altscreen rewrite after `a2c479c`) 116 * Jacob Prosser - <geriatricjacob@cumallover.me> 117 118 119 Authors of the Vim-Browse Patch 120 -------------------------------- 121 * Julius Hülsmann - <juliusHuelsmann [at] gmail [dot] com>
