Repl History in Tmux / cmdline Vim
Closed this issue · 7 comments
Repl history is working great in gvim, but it does not work in command line vim from tmux.
My dot files a here:
With changes from this stackoverflow answer I got the arrow keys working, but in the Redl repl buffer, '' appears to cycle it through some other mode then back to insert - it pastes nothing.
Again, gvim works fine...it seems to be something tmux related?
In any case, something else I might try is changing the keybinding for repl history, i.e. <C-P>/ <C-N>. Where / how to do that correctly?
I had to add this to my .vimrc, to get history to work in Tmux:
imap <silent> <C-S-K> <Plug>clj_repl_uphist.
imap <silent> <C-S-J> <Plug>clj_rbepl_downhist.
which is just what was in vim-redl source code, but without the .
Oh, you might have noticed what I didn't mention : I use <C-S-K> instead of <C-K>, because <C-K> is a Tmux binding for me.
Is there some way that I can integrate this into the main vim-redl? Or @mascip, would you be willing to write a pull request to add these instructions to the README for tmux users?
Can you try my solution @noahlz ?
On my two machines it's the <buffer> that make the history commands not work, even when I don't use Tmux! (even though my machines don't mind for other commands... no idea why).
What <buffer> is for: "If the first argument to one of these commands is "" the mapping will be effective in the current buffer only"
Although it does make sense to only define the vim-redl mappings in a vim-redl buffer, we could delete these in the code, for the two history commands.
Or I can write this in the doc:
"If some of these key bindings don't work, you can try to redefine them like this in your .vimrc:
imap <silent> <C-K> <Plug>clj_repl_uphist.
Tell me which solution you prefer @dgrnbrg .
Either way, I can add a piece of doc for people who are not familiar with <Plug> or won't think about defining their own binding, saying:
"If you don't like these default key bindings or if they don't work, you can define your own. For example:
imap <silent> <C-S-K> <Plug>clj_repl_uphist.
PS: I will be away from tomorrow (Sunday), so won't be able to contribute until the end of the week.
I like either one--it's been so long since I've written VimScript that I
don't have an opinion on style any more.
