AnsiEsc Instructions #12

Closed lovesegfault closed 5 years ago

lovesegfault commented 5 years ago

I have AnsiEsc as a plugin in Neovim, but I have to manually activate it (:AnsiEsc) whenever I use nvimpager.

How can I automatically enable AnsiEsc whenever I open something with nvimpager?

lucc commented 5 years ago

Nvimpager should not share the plugins with neovim. I modify the runtimepath during startup to not load all those plugins a user might have and only need for editing.

What does :messages and :scriptnames say after you started the pager and after you executed :AnsiEsc? Did you install a copy of ansiEsc with the makefile?

The ansi escaping should be triggered automatically iff you open a file with ansi escape sequences. So the next question would be what file you use. Can you create a minimal one where the problem shows up?

Okay, I'll unpack your questions/statements so it's easier for me to address them.

Nvimpager should not share the plugins with neovim.

This has not been my experience. I have the same plugins on nvimpager as I do on nvim

What does :messages and :scriptnames say after you started the pager and after you executed :AnsiEsc?

:messages does nothing. :scriptnames returns a large list, which I have placed in this gist.

The ansi escaping should be triggered automatically...

Doesn't happen here :(

As an addendum, I'm on Gentoo, and I have nvimpager through the nvimpager USE flag of the neovim package. Which... Ah.

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-editors/neovim/neovim-0.3.4-r1.ebuild#n86

This explains everything.

Oh well we have been there #7 :( Maybe @ix- has since managed to push an ebuild for this nvimpager upstream?

lovesegfault commented 5 years ago

I don't think so, but I'd be happy to attempt to write an ebuild for it myself. I'll open a separate issue for that :)

Sorry to dissapoint, I just use vimpager instead, since I did not get around fixing it. I'd love to see a working nvimpager in gentoo though. Best regards, ix
