1. INTRODUCTION
A Python regular expression debugger within Vim.
This is my first release of a VPE based plugin.
There are a number of these on-line, such as https://pythex.org/, but I do not
like having to switch to a browser to debug a regular expression. Also, I have
not found one that works really well for me.
2. QUICK START
A single command |Redebug| is added by this plugin. Run this command, press
<F1> to expand the help and try it out.
Run:
:help redebug.txt
For more information.
3. FUTURE PLANS
This version represents the minimum quality I want for day-to-day use. I do
have plans to upgrade it.
- Do a better job of keeping the most useful information visible
when editing windows are opened.
- Provide a way for users to change the colours.
- Ideally make the default colours be based on the user's colour scheme.
This needs to work in a way that uses background colours in an
intelligent manner.
- Add some clean ways to set the test text and regular expression from
other buffers.
- Also allow ways to view the results of other operations, such as
re.split().
- Support debugging of Vim regular expressions.
Some more ambitious possible future enhancements.
- Some form of advanced expression analysis.
- Store a history of previous debug sessions. |

| install details |
Redebug requires at least Vim 8.0 + Python 3.6 support and the VPE extensions
(https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=5905).
This needs VPE 0.5.2 or better.
Redebug needs syntax highlighting to be enabled in order to get useful
benefit.
Redebug is a VPE plug-in. To install:
1. If not done already, install VPE.
2. Change to your $HOME/.vim (Linux) or $HOME/vimfiles directory.
3. Unzip the installation file.
This will create files in sub-directories vpe_plugins and vpe_plugins/doc.
Help is provided, run:
:helptags ALL
to generate the help tags. |
