ArgWrap is an industrial strength argument wrapping and unwrapping extension for the Vim text editor. It can be used for collapsing and expanding everything from function calls to array and dictionary definitions. All operations are easily reversible and correctly preserve the indentation of the surrounding code.
-
Clone or otherwise download ArgWrap extension. Users of pathogen.vim can clone the repository directly to their bundle directory:
$ git clone https://github.com/FooSoft/vim-argwrap ~/.vim/bundle/vim-argwrap
-
Create a keyboard binding for the
ArgWrap
command inside your~/.vimrc
file.For example, to declare a normal mode mapping, add the following command:
nnoremap <silent> <leader>a :ArgWrap<CR>
You can customize the behavior of this extension by setting values for any of the following optional buffer and
global configuration variables in your .vimrc
file. Buffer variables (prefixed with b:
) take precedence over
global variables (prefixed with g:
), making them ideal for configuring the behavior of this extension on a file by
file basis using ftplugin
or autocmd
. For example, the argwrap_tail_comma
variable has two variants declared as
b:argwrap_tail_comma
and g:argwrap_tail_comma
, for buffer and global scopes respectively.
