Ⅲ. 安装方法

使用Vundle管理器安装

在你的.vimrc下添加:

Plugin '/tinymode-vim'

… 然后在Vim中运行以下命令:

:source %
:PluginInstall

对于Vundle版本 < 0.10.2，请用上面的Bundle替换Plugin。

使用NeoBundle管理器安装

在你的.vimrc下添加:

NeoBundle '/tinymode-vim'

… 然后在Vim中运行以下命令:

:source %
:NeoBundleInstall

使用VimPlug管理器安装

在你的.vimrc下添加:

Plug '/tinymode-vim'

… 然后在Vim中运行以下命令:

:source %
:PlugInstall

使用Pathogen管理器安装

在终端中运行以下命令:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/vim-scripts/tinymode.vim

Ⅳ. 文档说明

We cannot add new Vim modes using Vim script.  But we can map keys in a way
that comes close.  Example:

    nmap          <C-W>+     <C-W>+<SID>ws
    nmap          <C-W>-     <C-W>-<SID>ws
    nn <script>   <SID>ws+   <C-W>+<SID>ws
    nn <script>   <SID>ws-   <C-W>-<SID>ws
    nmap          <SID>ws    <Nop>

These mappings make the builtin CTRL-W_+ and CTRL-W_- (in short ^W+, ^W-)
keys a little smarter: You can now type ^W++- instead of ^W+^W+^W- to change
the window size.  It's like ^W+ enters a "Vim mode" with the new keys + and - .

tinymode.vim is not needed to create such mappings, but it adds some
benefits:

• tinymode-style notation of the above mappings:

    call tinymode#EnterMap("winsize", "<C-W>+", "+")
    call tinymode#EnterMap("winsize", "<C-W>-", "-")
    call tinymode#Map("winsize", "+", "wincmd +")
    call tinymode#Map("winsize", "-", "wincmd -")

Ok, no benefits yet, but read on:

• you can enable support for a count typed within a mode:

    call tinymode#ModeArg("winsize", "owncount", 1)

  you need a literal [N] in the commands for the count to be recognized:

    call tinymode#Map("winsize", "+", "[N]wincmd +")
    call tinymode#Map("winsize", "-", "[N]wincmd -")

• mode message

    call tinymode#ModeMsg("winsize", "Change window size +/-")

  The mode message makes it easy to spot that a mode is active.  It is even
  more useful when it shows the available keys.

• different 'timeoutlen'

    call tinymode#ModeArg("winsize", "timeoutlen", 5000)

  In most cases, the default 'timeoutlen' of 1000 ms is too short.  That's
  why tinymode sets the default to 3000 ms throughout a mode.  If this is
  not enough, another value can be given.

• interruption recovery

    LeaveMode

  The "tinymode technique" has a backdraw: If a command "beeps" or you press
  CTRL-C, the chain of mappings is interrupted, which means the necessary
  clean up before leaving a mode is skipped.  "Clean up" means to set some
  options back to previous values ('timeoutlen', 'cpo', 'showcmd').
  Unfortunately, a beep cannot be catched like other errors.

  If you detect this situation, you can start and leave a mode in a clean
  way or execute :LeaveMode .

• timeout warning

  Sooner or later a tiny mode times out automatically.  As a visual hint
  that a mode will time out soon the color of the mode message will be
  changed from ModeMsg to Normal.
