Nimrod language support for Vim
This provides Nimrod language support for Vim:
- Syntax highlighting
- Auto-indent
- Build/jump to errors within Vim
- Project navigation and Jump to Definition (cgats or compiler-assisted idetools).
The source of this script comes mainly from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2632, which comes from a modified python.vim (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=790).
Installation
Installing nimrod.vim is easy but first you need to have the pathogen plugin
installed. If you already have pathogen working then skip Step 1 and go to
Step 2.
Step 1: Install pathogen.vim
First I'll show you how to install tpope's
pathogen.vim so that it's easy to
install nimrod.vim. Do this in your Terminal so that you get the
pathogen.vim file and the directories it needs:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle; \
curl -so ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim \
https://raw.github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen/master/autoload/pathogen.vim
Next you need to add this to your ~/.vimrc:
call pathogen#infect()
Step 2: Install nimrod.vim as a pathogen bundle
You now have pathogen installed and can put nimrod.vim into ~/.vim/bundle
like this:
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/zah/nimrod.vim.git
Next you need to add this to your ~/.vimrc:
fun! JumpToDef()
if exists("*GotoDefinition_" . &filetype)
call GotoDefinition_{&filetype}()
else
exe "norm! \<C-]>"
endif
endf
" Jump to tag
nn <M-g> :call JumpToDef()<cr>
ino <M-g> <esc>:call JumpToDef()<cr>i
The JumpToDef function hooks the nimrod.vim plugin to invoke the nimrod
compiler with the appropriate idetools command. Pressing meta+g will then jump
to the definition of the word your cursor is on. This uses the nimrod compiler
instead of ctags, so it works on any nimrod file which is compilable without
requiring you to maintain a database file.
