description
This library provides some utility functions. There isn't much need to
install it unless another plugin requires you to do so.

The most useful functions provided by this library probably are:

tlib#input#List(), tlib#input#ListW()
    - Display a list
    - Dynamically filter items matching a pattern (somethat like google)
        - E.g. you filter for "foo -bar": show all entries containing foo but not bar.
    - Select items from a list
    - Do stuff
        - Developers can define keys that trigger some action with the
          selected items
    - Demo: http://vimsomnia.blogspot.com/2010/11/selecting-items-from-list-with-tlibs.html

tlib#input#EditList
    + Edit a list (copy, cut, paste, delete, edit ...)

:TLet VAR = VALUE
    Set a variable only if it doesn't already exist.

:TScratch
    Open a scratch buffer (a buffer without a file).

:TVarArg VAR1, [VAR2, DEFAULT2] ...
    Handle "rest" (variable) arguments in functions.
    EXAMPLES:
      function! Foo(...)
          TVarArg ['a', 1], 'b'
          echo 'a='. a
          echo 'b='. b
      endf

TBrowseOutput COMMAND
    Every wondered how to effciently browse the output of a command
    without redirecting it to a file? This command takes a command as
    argument and presents the output via |tlib#input#List()| so that you
    can easily search for a keyword (e.g. the name of a variable or
    function) and the like.
    
    If you press enter, the selected line will be copied to the command
    line. Press ESC to cancel browsing.
    
    EXAMPLES:
      TBrowseOutput 20verb TeaseTheCulprit
      TBrowseOutput let
      TBrowseOutput map


Related (small) plugins that utilize tlib and thus provide some degree of uniform user experience:
    tbibtools (vimscript #1915): bibtex-related utilities (sort, reformat, list contents ...)
    tmarks (vimscript #2594): Browse, place, & delete marks
    tmboxbrowser (vimscript #1906): A mbox browser -- Read your e-mails with vim
    tmru (vimscript #1864): Most Recently Used Files
    trag (vimscript #2033): A slightly language-aware alternative to grep
    tregisters (vimscript #2017): List, edit, and run/execute registers/clipboards
    tselectbuffer (vimscript #1866): A quick buffer selector/switcher
    tselectfiles (vimscript #1865): A quick file selector/browser/explorer (sort of)
    ttagecho (vimscript #2055): Show current tag information
    ttagcomplete (vimscript #2069): Context-sensitive tags-based completion and code skeletons
    ttags (vimscript #2018): Tag list browser (List, filter, preview, jump to tags)
    ttoc (vimscript #2014): A regexp-based table of contents of the current buffer
    vikitasks (vimscript #2894): Search viki files for tasks and display them in a list

install details
When installing tlib for the first time, it might be necessary that you create the directory ~/.vim/autoload/tlib before sourcing the vimball. If you have difficulties to install this plugin, please make sure to use the current version of vimball (vimscript #1502). The vimball that comes with vim 7.0 is most likely not recent enough.

Open the file and type

    :so %

see :help vimball for details.
