vim-focus-events
Provided focus events for vim in termnals: urxvt, XTerm, Konsole and iTerm2.
Neovim >v0.1.1 provides focus events by itself for XTerm/Konsole.
Features
- Introduces events FocusGained and FocusLost for terminal vim.
Offers helpful widgets, binded to events FocusGained, FocusLost:
- clipboard -- copies content between regs @" and @+ ;
- buffers -- re-reads changed buffers or saves them;
Different cursor shape for NORMAL/INSERT modes (why here? -- because it's
terminal dependent staff).Different cursor color for primary/secondary language in terminal (you need
[vim-xkbswitch](https://github.com/lyokha/vim-xkbswitch) installed).- List of options for customization you can see in
plugin/focau.vim.
You have several ways to change default options:
" #1 -- set all options of interest at once
let g:focau = {'key': 'value'}
" #2 -- allows adding comments after options
let g:focau = {}
let g:focau.key = 'value'Alternatives
- vitality -- works only for iTerm2. Seized.
- tmux-plugins -- no
- Was refined and completely melded with this plugin.
Background
In my general workflow I use clipboard too often -- having many instances of
vim, terminals, browsers, etc at once. No matter how little keystrokes you
need for any simple mappings to copy to and from '+' register, it will always
be too much. I tried really hard to accustom myself with no success. Solution
is pretty simple and cute -- make vim copy registers for you.
There is default vim setting to autosync regs @" and @+:
set clipboard^=unnamedplusbut such workflow has flaws, as you will lost value in @+ as soon as you use
@", which is desired to be preserved for repeated use.
Installation
You know how to use your's plugin manager, so convert it yourself:
NeoBundle 'amerlyq/vim-focus-autocmd'In XTerm, Konsole and iTerm2 plugin works as is.
To receive focus events in urxvt, you must install:
urxvt-ext-evolved.
Don't forget to restart urxvt after update.
To work in tmux, check ~/.tmux.conf had enabled focus events:
set -g focus-events onFAQ
- Q: When switching between two vims in different terminals, FocusGained is
triggered, but widgetclipboarddon't work. - A: It greatly depends on terminal and environment timings, because
FocusGained in current terminal can be triggered before FocusLost in
- And copying actually happens, but copies the same previous text.
Another problem -- if you usexselin background -- then again copying can
have reverse order by two xsel processes races.
- Q: I don't receive FocusLost/FocusGained when cursor in cmdline
- A: You simply don't see its consequences -- because screen wasn't redrawed.
Moreover, cmline executes mappings in sandbox (see :h sandbox), so some
stuff inside autocmd linked to Focus* can't be executed at all.
- Q: When in operator-peding mode and focus lost, mode is dropped to normal.
- A: It's consequences of operator-peding mode itself. Currently I have no
- way to execute function being in OP and restore OP command after that.
- Q: In SELECT mode sometimes selected text became deleted when switching.
- A:
snoremapare unreliable. Don't use this mode as much as you can?:) - Q: Don't work with neovim in urxvt.
- A: Wait for neovim v0.2 where
t_ti/temust be repaired. Currently
- is detached from terminal and there no way to send sequences directly.
Those sequences are necessary, as urxvt has non-standart focus activation.
