Maintainer: skywind3000 (at) gmail.com Homepage: https://github.com/skywind3000/asyncrun.vim Run shell commands in background and output to quickfix:     :AsyncRun[!] [options] {cmd} ...     when "!" is included, auto-scroll in quickfix will be disabled     parameters are splited by space, if a parameter contains space,     it should be escaped as backslash + space (just like ex commands) Parameters will be expanded if they start with '%', '#' or '<' :     %:p     - File name of current buffer with full path     %:t     - File name of current buffer without path     %:p:h   - File path of current buffer without file name     %:e     - File extension of current buffer     %:t:r   - File name of current buffer without path and extension     %       - File name relativize to current directory     %:h:.   - File path relativize to current directory     <cwd>   - Current directory     <cword> - Current word under cursor     <cfile> - Current file name under cursor     <root>  - Project root directory Environment variables are set before executing:     $VIM_FILEPATH  - File name of current buffer with full path     $VIM_FILENAME  - File name of current buffer without path     $VIM_FILEDIR   - Full path of current buffer without the file name     $VIM_FILEEXT   - File extension of current buffer     $VIM_FILENOEXT - File name of current buffer without path and extension     $VIM_CWD       - Current directory     $VIM_RELDIR    - File path relativize to current directory     $VIM_RELNAME   - File name relativize to current directory     $VIM_ROOT      - Project root directory     $VIM_CWORD     - Current word under cursor     $VIM_CFILE     - Current filename under cursor     $VIM_GUI       - Is running under gui ?     $VIM_VERSION   - Value of v:version     $VIM_COLUMNS   - How many columns in vim's screen     $VIM_LINES     - How many lines in vim's screen     parameters also accept these environment variables wrapped by     "$(...)", and "$(VIM_FILEDIR)" will be expanded as file directory     Macro $(VIM_ROOT) and <root> (new in version 1.3.12) indicate the     Project Root of the current file. There can be some options before [cmd]:     -mode=0/1/2  - start mode: 0(async,default), 1(makeprg), 2(!)     -cwd=?       - initial directory, (use current directory if unset)     -save=0/1    - non-zero to save unsaved files before executing     -program=?   - set to 'make' to use '&makeprg'     -post=?   - vimscript to exec after this job finished, spaces **must** be escaped to '\ '     -raw=1    - don't matching the errorformat, output directly in the quickfix window.     All options must start with a minus and position **before** `[cmd]`.     Since no shell command starts with a minus. So they can be     distinguished from shell command easily without any ambiguity. Stop the running job by signal TERM:     :AsyncStop[!]     when "!" is included, job will be stopped by signal KILL Settings:     g:asyncrun_exit - script will be executed after finished     g:asyncrun_bell - non-zero to ring a bell after finished (notify you job finished)     g:asyncrun_mode - 0:async(if support) 1:sync 2:shell     g:asyncrun_encs - shell program output encoding Variables:     g:asyncrun_code - exit code     g:asyncrun_status - 'running', 'success' or 'failure' Requirements:     minimal vim version is 7.4.1829 to support async jobs.     neovim 0.1.4 or later is supported too.     recommand to use vim 8.0 or above. Note:     AsyncRun uses quickfix window to show job outputs, in order to see the outputs in realtime,     you need open quickfix window at first by using :copen (see :help copen). And there is a     function 'asyncrun#quickfix_toggle(size)' for you to open/close it rapidly (see tutorial 9). Tutorial 0: async run gcc / make to build current file     :AsyncRun gcc % -o %<     :AsyncRun g++ -O3 "%" -o "%<" -lpthread     :AsyncRun make -f Mymakefile Tutorial 1: async grep key word     :AsyncRun! grep -R word .     :AsyncRun! grep -R <cword> . Tutorial 2: look up man page     :AsyncRun! man -S 3:2:1 <cword> Tutorial 3: build go project     :AsyncRun go build "%:p:h" Tutorial 4: use <F7> to compile current file     :noremap <F7> :AsyncRun gcc "%" -o "%<" <cr> Tutorial 5: open quickfix window (see the output)     :botright copen 8 Tutorial 6: async git push     :AsyncRun git push origin master Tutorial 7: compile markdown to pdf     :AsyncRun pandoc --output "$(VIM_FILENOEXT).pdf" "%:p" <CR> Tutorial 8: update tags in background while editing (super useful for large projects):     :AsyncRun ctags -R --fields=+S .     :AsyncRun ctags -R -f $(VIM_FILEDIR)/ctags.out --fields=+iaS $(VIM_FILEDIR) Tutorial 9: a help function to toggle quickfix window in an efficient way (F9 to toggle):     :noremap <F9> :call asyncrun#quickfix_toggle(8)<cr> Please vote it if you like it.
