MARVIM - MAcro Repository for VIM
"Give your most complex macros a name and store it for future recall and use"
Problem statement(s):
-------------------------------
* Can not remember those complex VIM macro sequences you use frequently?
* Wish you could save those macros beyond your immediate session?
* Wish you could share your VIM macros with each other?
* Why not templates as well in the same script?
Features
------------
* Recording of VIM macros into persistent storage for future use
* Auto-complete based recursive search and load of stored VIM macros
* Visually select and save templates into persistent storage
* Macro namespaces, to permit organization of macros
* Support for a default namespace based on filetype
* Supports a shared macro repository for a team on a shared directory
* Macro menu items in GVIM version for all main actions
Hotkeys
-----------
<F2> - Find and execute a macro or insert template from repository
Visual <F2> - Replays last macro for each line selected
<F3> - Save default macro register by name to the macro repository
Visual <F3> - Save selection as template by name to the macro repository
<Tab> - On the Macro command line for cycling through autocomplete
<Control>+D - On the Macro command line for listing autocomplete options
Usage:
----------
o Store a new macro to the repository
1) record macro as usual into q register
(i.e. qq..<macro keystrokes>..q)
2) press save macro key <F3> (default) in normal mode
3) enter the macro name when prompted after the prefix
(a prefix will be provided based on the filetype)
4) macro is now store in the repository
o Save template into repository
1) select area you want to save in visual mode
2) press the macro save button <F3> (default) in visual mode
3) enter the template name when prompted
(a prefix will be provided based on the filetype)
4) template is now saved in repository
o Recall macro/template through a search
1) press the macro find key <F2> (default) in normal mode
2) enter a search string when prompted
(a prefix will be put by default, which can be deleted)
3) press <Tab> or <Control-D> to auto-complete until you find the macro
4) macro is now run and also loaded for further use into the q register
o Replay last loaded macro on multiple lines for each line
1) select the area you want the macro to run on in visual mode
2) press the macro find key <F3> (default) in visual mode
3) macro in q register is replayed for every line

install details |
* Download Marvim to your VIM plugin ($VIMRUNTIME/plugin) directory
or source it explicitly. Below is an example if you place it in
the home directory
source $HOME/marvim.vim
* Start vim and this will automatically create the base marvim macro
repository in your home directory. Based on the OS it will be
located as follows:
UNIX ~/.marvim
WINDOWS C:\Document and Settings\Username\marvim
* (optional) Copy predefined macro/template directories into the base
marvin macro directory. Marvim uses recursive directory search so
you can nest the directories as you wish.
* (optional) change the default hotkeys as given above
Changing the default hotkeys, repository and macro register
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optionally place the following lines in your vimrc before the location
you source the marvim.vim script (don't worry about location if
the script is in the vim plugin directory).
" to change the macro storage location use the following
let marvim_store = '/usr/local/share/projectX/marvim'
let marvim_find_key = '<Space>' " change find key from <F2> to 'space'
let marvim_store_key = 'ms' " change store key from <F3> to 'ms'
let marvim_register = 'c' " change used register from 'q' to 'c'
let marvim_prefix = 0 " disable default syntax based prefix
