description

I created this Vimscript (adopted from kde-devel-vim) for myself to be a more generic C++ helper script (not so KDE/Qt specific). I want to give full credit to the original author(s) so I added a header in the script file with the original writeup and a link to the location where I found it. My main goals for this script when I started modifying the original were to add: 1. Maintenance free makeprog setup which supported "out-of-source-builds". 2. Maintenance free tagfile creation. 3. Help me stay consistent with my indent/coding style (K&R-ish). The original had some formatting helpers and this was a big shortcut for me Functionality provided by this script: * Automatic brace and parenthesis addition. Intelligence added to place braces on same line as if,while,do,etc. * Automatic space between keyword and paren addition. * Quick switching between header and impl file. * Intelligent includes additions. EG: Automatic #include <string.h> statement when cursor is on std::string statement. * Ability to add "standard" (to be overridden for personal or project stds) comment headers. * Change and TODO log entry helpers. * (un)comment line toggle. This feature also works with visual selection as well. * Intelligent directory searching to enable "out-of-source-building", like in the use of CMAKE. * Generic tab completion for braces, parenthesis and quotes. This feature is only meant for convinces, please use a mechanism like "SnipMate" for better tab completion. * Ability to align assignments in surrounding statements. * Automatic tagfile write for better project source code navigation. * Automatic 'path' setting for 'gf' command navigation. * Custom 'Make()' function/command to support better out-of-source-building; this should build the project from any source code file in the project.

install details

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing pathogen.vim, and then simply copy and paste: cd ~/.vim/bundle git clone https://bitbucket.org/JohnKaul/cpp-devel-vim.git vim -u NONE -c "helptags cpp-devel-vim/doc" -c q Otherwise you can always download from here and extract it manually (FYI: the cpp-devel-vim.vim file is supposed to be in your vim plugin directory).
