Vim plugin: Find my cursor

Highlight/unhighlight cursor position by any criteria.

How to use it? Some usage examples:

vim-find-my-cursor.webm

This plugin adds a function: highlight cursor position
Highlight will be cleared after timeout, or "CursorMoved" event

:FindCursor <hexColor> <timeoutMs>
:call findcursor#FindCursor(<hexColor>, <timeoutMs>)

<hexColor> [required] - color in hex format, or 0 - use CursorLine and CursorColumn highlights

<timeoutMs> [optional, default = 0] - after this timeout highlight will be hidden.
0 - wait for "CursorMoved".

USAGE

Several examples

  1. Run "FindCursor" from command line
:FindCursor #CC0000 500
  1. Map "FindCursor"
nnoremap <leader>f <CMD>FindCursor #CC0000 500<CR>
noremap % %<CMD>FindCursor 0 500<CR>
  1. Run "FindCursor" with other action (complex example)
" Using with 'neoclide/coc.nvim':
" 'jumpDefinition' runs asynchronously, so run 'FindCursor' after 100ms timeout
function! JumpDefinitionFindCursor() abort
    call CocAction("jumpDefinition")
    call timer_start(100, {id -> findcursor#FindCursor('#D6D8FA', 0)})
endfunction
nnoremap <silent> gd <CMD>call JumpDefinitionFindCursor()<CR>
  1. Run "FindCursor" with other action (complex example 2)
" Using with plugins 'junegunn/vim-slash' and 'henrik/vim-indexed-search'
noremap <silent> <plug>(slash-after) <CMD>execute("FindCursor #d6d8fa 0<bar>ShowSearchIndex")<CR>

CONFIGURATION

g:FindCursorPre

A function to run before "FindCursor". Use for disable some other highlights if there are conflicts.

function! FindCursorHookPre() abort
    FootprintsDisable " 'axlebedev/footprints' plugin
    IlluminationDisable " 'RRethy/vim-illuminate' plugin
endfunction
let g:FindCursorPre = function('FindCursorHookPre')
g:FindCursorPost

Opposite to g:FindCursorPre: a function to run after "FindCursor" is cleared.

" Lambda function is OK too
let g:FindCursorPost = {-> execute('FootprintsEnable | IlluminationEnable')}
