HISTORY ========================================================== After using the vimscript #69 plugin for quite some time, I started modifying it as I wanted to have each buffer open on its own TAB, to have syntax highlight using the member, function and type classes defined within my project, and to have a visual indication of which files were open and close within the project. This ide plugin thus contains a re-write of the plugin project (1.3k) plus my additional ide code (2.5k). The re-write was needed because instead of loading a project file into a file buffer, the ide plugin loads an index of all project files into a hash and displays it on the dedicated buffer, this allows for integration with other plugins that I do use such as the source explorer plugin. There is a powerful feature in the original project plugin (script loading at file or project open) that I have never really used. I have ported this feature but I have never tested it. I do not expect you will agree with all changes, but I hope that some time in the future someone else also motivated by "personal taste" will end up taking over this code, improve it and then pass it on, till the time we get a true IDE on top of vim. Now that I look back to this plugin, I think it would have been probably easier to implement it on VIM itselft. CHANGES WITH RESPECT TO THE PROJECT PLUGIN =========================================================== I have tried to maintain the same functionality of the original project plugin, that is, almost all its commands, settings, and flags are still valid. If you have already used the project plugin then its migration to the ide plugin will be transparent. The main changes, upgrades and extensions that the ide plugin has with respect to the project plugin are:   Better visualization    - The ide window follows any tab movement provinding a persistant panel ide.    - Keeps track of all files opened, edited and closed using icons. Pending      tracking updates are refreshed as soon as the ide window is entered so      you can visualize the status of your project.    - No more multiple windows for the same buffer. Opening a file which is      already open won't create another window but will jump to the correct      tab and window.      - Cursor movement within the ide windows seems as a file or project select.    - Windows width can be adjusted and re-adjusted.    - Tabs provide information on mouse hover   More Friendly   - Closing a project unloads all its working variables, so its safe to invoke     the|ide|again. Or open a new project and let to the|ide|unload the current     one.   - Help can be lauch from within the ide window by pressing <F1>   - All key-bindings can be customized in the|vimrc|file to another mapping.       - Information on some key processes are provided on the command line   - Errors on bad usage are notified        Syntax Highlight   - Create the syntax file for the code based in the project-file   - Syntax file for the project are generated and loaded for the files on open   - Highlights are automatically or manually updated through the IDESyntax         command.   - Highlights are refreshed on idle intervals, so your idle times are no     longer wasted.   Other Plugin interactions   - Can be registered to other plugins   - Have built in workarounds for some plugins that I use as part of my ide:     showmarks, taglist, source-explorer, ex-global-search   Tracing, Logging and Debugging Support   - Logs with detailed information of traces can be generated, see IDEShowlog   - All internal variables can be exposed through the command IDEShowenv   - Easier than ever to debug the plugin so you can modify it and improve it.        OverHauling   - The core of the project plugin was re-writen to be loaded in a dedicated     buffer named __IDE_Project__. The project-file is read on loading the ide     and then closed, all the files contained are indexed and store in a map.   - Having the information in a map renders continuous parsing of the     project-file unnecessary, and facilitates the development of extensions.   - Make a project or a sub-project, with the key binding you wish.       SCREEN-SHOTS =========================================================== For screen-shots related to this plugin and additional documentation please visit http://www.gomezprado.com/ece/code/ide-vim

install details

In Linux: Place the following files [1-4] at ~/vim/icons [1] ideClose.png [2] ideEdit.png [3] ideOpen.png [4] ideReadOnly.png Then move the files [5-6] to ~/vim/pluggins [5] ide.vim [6] ideSyntax.pl make sure that ideSyntax.pl has execution properties as this perl script is used by the ide plugin to generate highlight syntax coloring for C/C++ files. Move the file [7] to ~/vim/doc   [7] ide.txt After moving the previous file, execute within vim   :helptags ~/vim/doc   :help ide Optionally, you can place file [8] within your path to generate or load project-files. After reading this readme you can delete it.   [8] ide.sh   [9] ide.readme (this file) Within the tar there is a folder call ide-screenshots with some screen shots of the plugin. In Windows: Follow the instructions provided in the Linux section but change the root folder ~/vim by $VIM/vimfiles where the value of $VIM can be obtained by typing :echo $VIM in your current vim window.
