:xccmd ex command

[tomlu]

ViEmu (the Vim emulator for Visual Studio) has this really cool thing where there is an ex command for issuing Visual Studio commands. This would allow nice mnemonic mappings like: vaci :vscmd VisualAssistX.CreateImplementation

If there is a way where we can predictably turn an arbitrary string into an Xcode menu command, we could do the same here.

I think I can implement similar thing. Here's a link to actions which can be invoked from the XCode menu. https://github.com/JugglerShu/XVim/blob/master/Documents/Developers/MenuActionList.txt

Some ex commands use these actions. So just dispatching the specified action name will do what you are saying I think.

Is this what you intended?

[JugglerShu]

I implemented it. But user need to know the action names. So... We need help command or something to help this.

[tomlu]

Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind.

I think just the documentation more or less as is should be fine for this.

I'd like to be able to call other menu items. Things added by other plugins (View->Uncrustify in my case). Is this possible?

[JugglerShu]

So is it on in your menu? Theorically it can be called with xccmd command if you already know the name of action bound to the menu item.

If you know how to debug XVim( Actually its almost same as usual applications ) you can use traceMenu method in XVim/Logger.m to dump all the action names in menu.

Let me know if you don't know how.

[brendanjerwin]

No, not sure how to debug XVim. (Xcode hung when I tried to attach to xcode...)

Is this what you installed ? https://github.com/benoitsan/BBUncrustifyPlugin-Xcode

As far as I read the source code the action name is "uncrustify" So "xccmd uncrustify" should work....

But it may not work because of the cursor forcusing problem. Let me know if its not working.

[brendanjerwin]

I did. It doesn't.

OK. Let me have some days to take a look into the problem.

[JugglerShu]

Here's title and action name list.

Title:Uncrustify Selected Files    Action:uncrustifySelectedFiles:
Title:Uncrustify Active File    Action:uncrustifyActiveFile:
Title:Uncrustify Selected Lines    Action:uncrustifySelectedLines: 

But this still does not work with xccmd. I'm doing further investigation. Please wait for a while.

UPDATE: They updated the actions here 4 days ago. So the list above is true for most recent version of the plugin.

[brendanjerwin]

Ok. Thx.

I have added some fix to refactoring branch and merged it into master. Now you can use following command :xccmd uncrustifyActiveFile

And also in visual mode you can use :'<,'>xccmd uncrustifySelectedLines

You do not use "uncrustifySelectedFiles" in source view context.

[brendanjerwin]

Thx. Works for me!
