# Multi-Language Thesaurus Query/Replacement Plugin

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/Ron89/thesaurus_query.vim

This is a plugin for user to lookup synonyms of any word under cursor or
phrase covered in visual mode, and replace it with an user chosen synonym.
It also accepts word/phrases from manual input for synonym checkup.

Notice: Currently this plugin Supports only English (en), Chinese (cn),
French (fr), Russian (ru) and German (de) thesaurus query. If you want to use the
plugin for other languages, or if you're not satisfied with the performance of
current backends and know of some online synonym services that I can integrate
into the plugin, please come and post an issue with your suggestion.

This plugin is written in Python. So **+Python or +Python3 version of Vim is
required**.

What's new

Deleted thesaurus_com backend due to the legal warning from Thesaurus.com on
the upstream package thesarus.
For existing users that still have thesaurus_com explicitly enabled, the
backend now always return exception. For English users, currently the highest
quality source is either the OpenOffice Thesaurus source or mthesaur.txt. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Added two new French backend based on synonymo.fr
and cnrtl.fr. To activate them, add fr to variable
g:tq_language and synonymo_fr and/or cnrtl_fr to g:tq_enabled_backends.

Added new German backend based on
openthesaurus.de. This
thesaurus backend is one of the German default backends. To activate it, add
de to variable g:tq_language. Also, if you have manual specification for
g:tq_enabled_backends, be sure to add openthesaurus_de to your backend
list.

Added new Russian backend based
on yarn-synsets.csv. To use, add
yarn_synsets to Vim variable g:tq_enabled_backends, e.g.

let g:tq_enabled_backends=["yarn_synsets", "openoffice_en", "mthesaur_txt"]

also, add ru to variable g:tq_language and make sure that either
yarn-synsets.csv in downloaded to ~/.vim/thesaurus or where variable
g:tq_yarn_synsets_file points at.

A new variable is designed to force use certain version of Python, e.g.

let g:tq_python_version = 2

will force Plugin to use Python2 no matter if Python3 is supported.

Installation

Use your plugin manager of choice.

  • Pathogen

    • git clone https://github.com/ron89/thesaurus_query.vim ~/.vim/bundle/thesaurus_query.vim

  • Vundle

    • Add Bundle 'ron89/thesaurus_query.vim' to .vimrc
    • Run :BundleInstall

  • NeoBundle

    • Add NeoBundle 'ron89/thesaurus_query.vim' to .vimrc
    • Run :NeoBundleInstall

  • vim-plug

    • Add Plug 'ron89/thesaurus_query.vim' to .vimrc
    • Run :PlugInstall

Usage

By default, command :ThesaurusQueryReplaceCurrentWord is mapped to
<Leader>cs.

nnoremap <Leader>cs :ThesaurusQueryReplaceCurrentWord<CR>

This routine check the synonyms of the word under cursor and replace it with
the candidate chosen by user. The corresponding non-replacing routine is
defined as ThesaurusQueryLookupCurrentWord. User may choose to use it if you
prefer the split buffer display of result over the word replacement routine.

Another might-be-useful routine is the one to query synonym for and replace
a multi-word phrase covered in visual mode, using the same key mapping
<Leader>cs

vnoremap <Leader>cs y:ThesaurusQueryReplace <C-r>"<CR>

The phrase covered in visual mode can be in a same line, or wrapped in two or
more lines.

Also, this plugin support Vim's builtin completefunc insert mode autocomplete

  1. To invoke it, use keybinding ctrl-x ctrl-u in insert mode. This
  2. resembles Vim's own thesaurus checking function, but using online

resources for matchings.

Finally, this plugin support thesaurus checkup for manually input through
command mode command :Thesaurus.

:Thesaurus your phrase

Configuration

Description for backends and their setup

To ensure stability of the plugin's functionality, under the hood, this plugin
uses multiple backends sequentially to query for a synonym. Backends function
independently, hence the plugin will be functional as long as one of the these
backends is behaving properly.

  • openoffice_en queries from local thesaurus database provided by
    OpenOffice. It is an useful option when you don't have any internet access at

    1. If you are using Linux and has installed OpenOffice from official repo,
    2. should have index file th_en_US_v2.idx and database

fileth_en_US_v2.dat in /usr/share/myspell/dicts, and this plugin should
work outright. But if not, you can download the thesaurus data from [this
link](https://www.openoffice.org/lingucomponent/MyThes-1.zip). You may then
manually inform the plugin of the downloaded location on your machine by
setting variable g:tq_openoffice_en_file. Eg, if your indes and database (2
files) are ~/Downloads/MyThes-1.0/th_en_US_new[.idx,.dat] then you should
set your variable by adding `let
g:tq_openoffice_en_file="~/Downloads/MyThes-1.0/th_en_US_new"` in your
.vimrc.

  • mthesaur_txt queries from local mthesaur.txt. It is another useful
    option when you don't have any internet access at all. For this backend to

work, be sure to download the file from
gutenberg.org and place it
under "~/.vim/thesaurus". If you place the file elsewhere, change global
variable g:tq_mthesaur_file to point to the file you
downloaded, eg. put the following line `let
g:tq_mthesaur_file="~/.config/nvim/thesaurus/mthesaur.txt"` into
your .vimrc file if your mthesaur.txt is placed in folder
"~/.config/nvim/thesaurus/".

  • datamuse_com queries from datamuse.com using
    its officially provided API. The returned synonym list is usually quite

relavant with reasonable quality. But the synonyms list tend to be short, so
it might leave out some less-frequently-used synonyms.

  • cilin_txt queries from local cilin.txt. It makes use of a Chinese
    thesaurus source "cilin.txt". For this backend to

work, be sure to download the file from
[this github
repo](https://github.com/shijiebei2009/Algorithms/blob/master/src/main/resources/cilin.txt)
and place it under "~/.vim/thesaurus". If you place the file elsewhere,
change global variable |g:tq_cilin_txt_file| to point to the file you
downloaded, eg. put the following line `let
g:tq_cilin_txt_file="~/.config/nvim/thesaurus/cilin.txt" into your .vimrc`
file if your cilin.txt is placed in folder "~/.config/nvim/thesaurus/".
Note that if you downloaded "cilin.txt" from elsewhere, make sure that your
source cilin.txt is utf-8 encoded. Or the plugin won't function correctly
with the file.

resource, providing a fast responding and decent thesaurus query solution.
Please place yarn-synsets.csv in ~/.vim/thesaurus, or use variable
g:tq_yarn_synsets_file to indicate the location of yarn-synsets.csv in
your system.

  • jeck_ru is a Russian thesaurus backend. It queries
    jeck.ru for synonym resources.

This website didn't provide standard API to use. Hence functionality of this
backend depends on whether the website owner will change the webpage design.

  • woxikon_de is a German thesaurus backend. It queries
    woxikon.de for synonym resources. This

website didn't provide standard API to use. Hence functionality of this
backend depends on whether the website owner will change the webpage design.

  • openthesaurus_de is a German thesaurus backend. It queries
    openthesaurus.de for synonym

    1. This thesaurus backend is one of the German default backends. To
    2. it, add de to variable g:tq_language. Also, if you have manual

specification for g:tq_enabled_backends, be sure to add openthesaurus_de
to your backend list.

  • cnrtl_fr is a French thesaurus backend. It queries
    cnrtl.fr for synonym resources. This

website didn't provide standard API to use. Hence functionality of this
backend depends on whether the website owner will change the webpage design.
This backend requires bs4 BeautifulSoup dependency.

  • synonymo_fr is a French thesaurus backend. It queries
    synonymo.fr for synonym resources. This

website didn't provide standard API to use. Hence functionality of this
backend depends on whether the website owner will change the webpage design.
This backend requires bs4 BeautifulSoup dependency.

The thesaurus query plugin will go through the list g:tq_enabled_backends in
sequence until a match is found. Unless user explicitly instruct, Next query
will be conducted only when the previous query return empty synonym list or
failed to query. You may remove unwanted backend or lower their priority by
removing them/putting them on latter position in variable
g:tq_enabled_backends as following example:

let g:tq_enabled_backends=["woxikon_de","jeck_ru","openoffice_en","mthesaur_txt"]
let g:tq_enabled_backends=["cilin_txt",
            \"openthesaurus_de",
            \"yarn_synsets",
            \"openoffice_en",
            \"mthesaur_txt",
            \"datamuse_com",]

Non-Engligh backends are currently **not activated by
default**, due to the default setting g:tq_language='en'. To enable Russian, German,
or Chinese backend, add 'ru', 'de' or 'cn' to the tq_language list:

let g:tq_language=['en', 'ru', 'de', 'cn']

Or if you want to use only German thesaurus engine in specific/current buffer

let b:tq_language=['de']

To ensure the best user experience, **the backend that reports error during
query will have its priority automatically lowered**. If user want to restore
originally defined priority, simply invoke command

:ThesaurusQueryReset

Online Backends Timeout Mechanism

Timeout mechanism (configurable with g:tq_online_backends_timeout) is added
to all online query backends to reduce query time(in seconds). Default value is
1.0 (second), so that user using slower internet or having long response time
with certain backend servers could still has reliable performance. For users
with faster internet, you may want to lower the value (mine is 0.4).

let g:tq_online_backends_timeout = 0.4

Q: Why would this help?

A: Usually when thesaurus is found, the server respond quickly. However,
when the word is not found, it will take a while before server return 404

  1. And our plugin will freeze Vim before the error is returned. By setting
    timeout, we may cut the waiting time down and start query from next backend
  2. So that waiting-time for user can be drastically reduced if set
    properly.

Q: What does it mean by long response time to certain servers

A: Depending on where you are, some thesaurus query service might not have
server built up close to you. In this case, the response time between you and
the server might varied greatly. For example, woxikon_de might only have
server in Germany. And I am in Singapore. Based on my experience, it might take
400ms-1.0s for the server to respond to my request. If I want to use its
service reliably, I might want to set the timeout to 1.0 (second), so that
most of the valid query can yield response before timeout.

Truncate query result in candidate window

Synonym replacing interface(shown in first screenshot) is the key feature of
this plugin. I will make my best effort to make sure it work sensibly. If user
has any complain about the current layout or otherwise, please draft an issue
to let me know. Currently, I have drafted two variables to help reducing the
candidate list when the number of synonym is too overwhelming.

Synonym group truncate

Synonyms are grouped by definitions. If there are too many groups to your
liking, you may reduce the number of groups shown to 3 by setting

let g:tq_truncation_on_definition_num = 3

Synonym list truncate

Sometimes synonyms in a single group is also too long to choose from, in this
case, to reduce the number of synonym shown in each group to no more than
200, you can set

let g:tq_truncation_on_syno_list_size = 200

Know that if query result is truncated by your rule, and you want to browse
through the result being truncated, you can still access the complete synonym
list by typing A<Enter> in your input prompt.

Notice Due to current lack of user feedback, and that I do not want to
arbitrarily make up truncation threshold that may damage user experience, both
truncation methods are inactive unless variables stated above are set
explicitly by user.

Credit

This plugin is functionally based on and extended from the idea behind
vim-online-thesaurus by
Anton Beloglazov:

Several key improvements were made comparing to his plugin:

  • added synonym replacing mechanism
  • added fallback backend to ensure functionality even when server down or lack
    of internet connection.
  • added alternative thesaurus sources and switching mechanism
  • added multilanguage support. With proper backends, it is possible to extend
    the functionality of this plugin to any western letter based languages.

TODO List

  1. Add more thesaurus source and try to parallelize the query process with
    a timeout limit.
  2. Implement algorithm to make synonym candidates in a same form(tense,
    plurality, etc.). This could take a while... :-|
  3. Update documentation
