About

vim-rubyhash is a plugin that can convert the keys of a Ruby hash literal to one of the following formats:

  • symbols
  • strings
  • Ruby-1.9 format

Usage

To perform linewise conversions, the following are the default mappings:

  • rs to convert all keys to symbols
  • rt to convert all keys to strings
  • rr to convert all keys to Ruby 1.9 format

The defaults can be overridden - details in the docs.

Caveat Emptor

The regular expressions that recognise hash keys are geared towards phrases containing only letters, numbers and underscores. This is admittedly, very limited, but I am hoping that, for now it will suffice for 80% of use cases.

Installation

It is recommended that you use Pathogen and include the git repo for this plugin as a submodule in the bundle directory.

In addition, seeing as this plugin is written in Ruby, you will need a version of vim that is compiled with Ruby. An easy way to check is to inspect the output of vim --version for the text +ruby. The plugin has been tested against Ruby-1.8.7 and should work with 1.9.x as well, but I have yet to test this assumption.

Acknowledgements

This plugin is based on an idea provided by @sheldonh. He would have built it himself, but he is currently busy completing his TPS reports.
