The problem statement is that creating and maintain Vim menus is painful.
This plug-in provides a data-driven, hierarchical means of defining
non-trivial menus for your users' consumption.
Consider the following, simple, menu structure:
|Test| File Edit ... Help
+-----------+
| Module A |______________
| Module B >| Compile F11 |
+===========| Run F12 |
| ------------ |
| Obsolete |
+==============+
Here's the structure created with Vim's built-in commands:
1amenu <silent> Test.Module\ A.Compile :make amod<CR>
1amenu <silent> Test.Module\ A.Run :make testamod<CR>
1amenu <silent> Test.Module\ B.Compile<Tab>F11 :make bmod<CR>
1amenu <silent> Test.Module\ B.Run<Tab>F12 :make testbmod<CR>
1amenu <silent> Test.Module\ B.Obsolete :call MyFunction()<CR>
1amenu <silent> Test.Module\ B.-sep-
1amenu <silent> disable Test.Module\ B.Obsolete
Note the repetition of the hierarchical menu names and the backslash-
escaping of spaces.
The structure really gets messy as it scales up. In order to defeat
the repeated "higher-level" menu names, you could store them in Vim
variables but that results in additional boilerplate (including the need
to use execute rather than menu directly).
With this plugin, the menus are represented in a recursive data structure:
source easymenu.vim
call g:LoadMenu(
\ [
\ {
\ 'text': 'Test',
\ 'priority': 1,
\ 'children': [
\ {
\ 'text': 'Module A',
\ 'children': [
\ {
\ 'text': 'Compile',
\ 'command': ':make amod',
\ },
\ {
\ 'text': 'Run',
\ 'command': ':make testamod',
\ },
\ ],
\ },
\ {
\ 'text': 'Module B',
\ 'children': [
\ {
\ 'text': 'Compile<Tab>F11',
\ 'command': ':make bmod',
\ },
\ {
\ 'text': 'Run<Tab>F12',
\ 'command': ':make testbmod',
\ },
\ {
\ 'text': '-sep-',
\ },
\ {
\ 'text': 'Obsolete',
\ 'able': 'disable',
\ },
\ ],
\ },
\ ],
\ },
\ ],
\ )

| install details |
Extract easymenu.tgz into its own directory for use with pathogen, otherwise just make sure easymenu.vim goes into the plugin directory and easymenu.txt goes into the doc directory.
Alternatively, you can just source the file directly from your script or $HOME/.vimrc. |
