#The Missing (vim) Plugin Manual
A quick (work in progress) reference for using and learning popular vim plugins.
##fugitive.vim ###Git wrapper
| VimCommand | Description | Extra Options/Instructions |
|---|---|---|
:GStatus |
git status | + or - to add / reset -- patch |
:Gread |
git checkout --filename | Operates on the buffer rather than the filename. |
:Gwrite |
git add | writes to both the work tree and index versions of a file, making it like git add when called from a work tree file and like git checkout when called from the index or a blob in history. |
:GCommit |
git commit | |
:GBlame |
git blame in vertical split | Press enter on a line to edit the commit where the line changed, or o to open it in a split. When you're done, use :Gedit in the historic buffer to go back to the work tree version. |
:GMove |
git mv | Simultaneously renames the buffer. |
:GRemove |
git rm | Simultaneously deletes the buffer. |
:Gblame |
git blame | Interactive vertical split with git blame output. Press enter on a line to edit the commit where the line changed, or o to open it in a split. When you're done, use :Gedit in the historic buffer to go back to the work tree version. |
:Gbrowse |
Opens the current file on GitHub, with optional line range (try it in visual mode!). If your current repository isn't on GitHub, git instaweb will be spun up instead. |
|
:Git |
runs any arbitrary command | Git! to open the output of a command in a temp file. |
%{fugitive#statusline()} |
adds an indicator with the current branch in statusline. | add to 'statusline' |
##Gundo ###Visual git tree browser
See also ;Gudno configuration
| VimCommand | Description |
|---|---|
j / k |
Move up and down in graph |
gg / G |
Move to top (with newest state) or bottom (oldest state) |
:return: |
Pressing return on state or double clicking it reverts the content of the file to match that state |
p |
make the preview window show the diff between your current state and the selected state, instead of a preview of what the selected state changed. |
| 'P' | will initiate "play to" mode targeted at that state. This will replay all the changes between your current state and the target, with a slight pause after each change. |
| 'q' | Pressing while in undo graph will close it. Also accessible by pressing mapped toggle key. |
##surround.vim ###Mappings to delete/change text surrounds (tags,brackets,quotes etc) ####Note The instructions are a bit confusing and cumalitive and leverage off the same string. This is my best interpretation. It seems as if various character ends may be replaced in the command itself. Ex: ysiw] affects '[]' while ysiw} affects '{}', using a open bracket adds the delimiter with a space and a closing bracket does so without a space.
| VimCommand | Description | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
cs" |
Switch double quote delimiters to single quote | " Hello world! " |
' Hello world! ' |
cs'<q> |
Replace quote delimiters with specified tag | 'Hello world!' |
<q>Hello world!</q> |

"Hello world!" |
cs{ |
Add {} with spaces to selection |

cs} |
Add {} without spaces to selection |

ds" |

ysiw] |

yssb or yss} |

ds{ds} |
Revert to original text | ({ Hello } world!) | Hello World! |
ysiw<em> |
Emphasize hello (assuming it is selected) | Hello world! | <em>Hello</em> |
S<p class="important"> |

<p class="important"> <em>Hello</em> world! </p> |
