alias vitw= #57

Closed linuxcaffe closed 10 years ago

linuxcaffe commented 10 years ago

In my .bashrc, I have the command alias;

alias vitw='vi -c ":TW"'

and it allows me to run vim-taskwarrior directly from the command-prompt, without having to start vim first. It's very handy and makes it more like it's own app, than just a vim plugin.

but I want MORE! ;-)

I want to be able to pass any arguments to :TW args. It seems that that will require a function, as part of the alias.. not sure how that works..

I'm also not sure if this is possible, but if the vitw command were issued, and an instance of vim-taskwarrior was already running somewhere, then I think it would be better to switch to that instance, rather than start a new one. Wondering if that's built into vim somewhere..

This alias, once working, would make a nice inclusion to the CUSTOMIZATION part of the docs.

and I've been schooled that aliases and functions are two different things, and function is what we need!

#!/bin/bash

vim -c "TW $@"

Something like that in your $PATH.

ok, I tried that in ~/bin/vitw, and cleared out the .bashrc attempt, and the only (seeming) effect on running it, is if if I enter $ vitw proj:vitw it puts "proj:vitw" in the very top-left corner of the screen, in the tagbar (?), but it doesn't filter the list, yet.

That works for me. I don't know your configurations. You should solve it yourself.

k, thanks!
