I have updated the Vim page at ConTeXt Garden: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vim It may be considered as the official documentation of the ConTeXt scripts in Vim, as the only other documentation is the source code :) Happy editing! Nicola

Excellent piece of work. Many thanks!

Hi Nicola, I wonder if you have seen my vim runtime files: https://github.com/adityam/vim-context The main file to look at is the syntax highlighting file. I haven't compared carefully with your version (haven't installed vim 8 yet), but there are a few differences. It may be worthwhile to merge the two syntax files. The metapost syntax highlighting file defines a few keywords that are used by metafun. Could these be merged to your mp syntax highlighting file? The indent file is adapted from (I think) latex-suite's indent file with modificiations that suit my taste. I am not sure these should go into the default vim indent file, but it may be worthwhile for you to take a quick look. The ftplugin file mainly contains shortcuts like `a expand to α, etc; again, adapted from latex-suite (which in-turn borred the idea from auctex). These depend on a ftplugin file provided by latex-suite. There were also a few macros to reflow text, but your code is more robust and has more features. The compiler file is old and I haven't tested it in a few years, so please ignore it. Thanks, Aditya

Hi Nicola,

I wonder if you have seen my vim runtime files: https://github.com/adityam/vim-context

Unfortunately not, I worked only on those already in Vim.

...

Ok, I will take a look. I see that your file does not depend on plaintex.vim. It might be a good idea to remove that dependency...

...

The metapost syntax highlighting file defines a few keywords that are used by metafun. Could these be merged to your mp syntax highlighting file?

The syntax scripts in Vim already cover all of MetaFun. MetaFun keywords are highlighted by default inside ConTeXt documents; for MetaPost files ('mp' filetype), you must put let g:mp_metafun_macros = 1 into your vimrc.

...

The indent file is adapted from (I think) latex-suite's indent file with modificiations that suit my taste. I am not sure these should go into the default vim indent file, but it may be worthwhile for you to take a quick look.

MetaPost indentation is tough. I have rewritten the indent script in Vim from scratch, and now it works reasonably well. I will try yours, but you might try the one currently in Vim, too.

...

I will look into those, too. Do you know that Vim has built-in support for digraphs (:h digraphs)? For example, α can be obtained by typing <c-k>a* in Insert mode. please

...

ignore it.

OK. I could maybe create a GitHub repository, to make it easier to merge your work. Nicola

I did not change metapost indenting, but defined some rules for indenting of context files. I believe that your indent file does not attempt to indent context files (I may be mistaken because I am just reading the .vim files, not testing it as I don't have vim8 yet).

I know of digraphis but it can be tricky to remember all the mapping (for example for \subset, \circ, etc.). Auctex uses fairly intuitive shortcuts.

That will be nice. Then I can also send you pull requests for specific things. Aditya

Correct, no indentation for ConTeXt. This is something that may be worth adding.

I need the list of all macros, vardefs, internals, and global variables from all MetaFun files. The format should be Vim's syntax format: https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/syntax/mp.vim Nicola

For what is worth, I attach the Ruby script I am using. It outputs the keywords in a format that can be used directly in Vim. Nicola

I've rolled out my own, but I will happily use/adapt something "more official". I guess Hans means the files under $TEXMF/texmf-context/context/data/scite/context

- scite-context-data-context.properties - scite-context-data-interfaces.properties - scite-context-data-metafun.properties - scite-context-data-metapost.properties - scite-context-data-tex.properties Wolfgang

Here it is: https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-context-metapost The updates to the above repository will be periodically forwarded for inclusion in Vim. You may use the issue tracker at GitHub to suggest improvements or report bugs (I have already included a syntax highlighting enhancement suggested by Wolfgang Schuster). Pull requests are welcome, too! Nicola
