VtrSendSelectedToRunner not a command #48

I get E492 not an editor message with VtrSendSelectedToRunner I looked in the code and didn't see it defined

christoomey commented 9 years ago

Hi @tbrooke, sorry for the inconvenience. The command to use is :VtrSendLinesToRunnerwhich works on the current line in normal mode, or a visually selected group of lines. I refactored this a bit ago but neglected to updates the docs. Sorry! I wanted to reply now in hopes of fixing the immediate issue for you, but I'm going to keep this open until I fix up the documentation.

Also, docs mention VtrSendLineToRunner but it doesn't exist.

so is there a way to run the visually selected region, if it's not the entire line? i.e. visual mode instead of visual line mode?

christoomey commented 8 years ago

@WuTheFWasThat there currently is not, although I think that would be a great enhancement. I built this functionality before I had started working with custom operators, but I think I could take a stab at this now. I've created https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-runner/issues/61 to capture the work needed to implement this. Not sure how soon I'll get to it, but this is a great idea. Thanks!

no problem! this is totally off topic, but some other ideas i had:

a flag to make it so that running commands automatically opens a pane, if none exists
a command to open a repl according to the file type. e.g. in a python file, run 'python', in a haskell file run 'ghci'. the idea being that you then send lines afterwards. it seems like this should be easier to implement than VtrSendFile probably.

the plugin seems to be good for my workflow, by the way. i totally understand that it takes time to maintain and you don't currently have it :P, maybe me or somebody else can take a crack one day ..

Hey @WuTheFWasThat, ideas are great!

1) There is actually a command for this, unfortunately undocumented (whoops). VtrSendCommandToRunner! (key being the ! at the end) will open a pane if needed, otherwise run against the attached pane. 2) We don't have built in support for the exact use case of opening a specific REPL, but VtrOpenRunner can take a few options (document here, which makes me feel a little better). With that, you can have filetype specific by setting a filetype specific mapping, with initial command (repl) in an ftplugin file:

" in ~/.vim/ftplugin/ruby
nmap <leader>opr :VtrOpenRunner { 'orientation': 'h', 'percentage': 50, 'cmd': 'pry' }<cr>

All that said, I'd welcome any help with doumentation, bugfixes, or feature work. PRs warmly welcomed :)

(feel free to open new issues for further discussions btw, so as not to complicate this one).
