annotate man/vip.texi @ 38212:6b14cc47a4f2
Major rewrite. Sections Tags, Emerge, Change Log and Authors
moved to maintaining.texi. Some sections reordered.
Node Misc for Programs moved to just before the language-specific sections.
New node Defuns contains an intro plus the old
Defuns node (now renamed Moving by Defuns)
as well as Imenu, Which Function, and a node
Left Margin Paren to explain the convention about this.
New node Parentheses now documents M-x check-parens.
It contains subnodes Expressions, Moving by Parens, and Matching.
Expressions and Moving by Parens contain the material
formerly in Lists and List Commands, but divided up differently.
The section Balanced Editing has been deleted.
Most of the C indentation customization (all except c-set-style),
has been replaced with a reference to the C Modes manual.
Documentation now is divided into three subsections.
Some rewrites in the Program Indent section about
C-u TAB and C-M-q.

108 @node Basic Concepts, Loading VIP, Survey, Survey | |
109 @section Basic Concepts | |
110 | |
111 We begin by explaining some basic concepts of Emacs. These concepts are | |
112 explained in more detail in the GNU Emacs Manual. | |
113 | |
114 @cindex buffer | |
115 @cindex point | |
116 @cindex mark | |
117 @cindex text | |
118 @cindex looking at | |
119 @cindex end (of buffer) | |
120 @cindex region | |
121 | |
122 Conceptually, a @dfn{buffer} is just a string of ASCII characters and two | |
123 special characters @key{PNT} (@dfn{point}) and @key{MRK} (@dfn{mark}) such | |
124 that the character @key{PNT} occurs exactly once and @key{MRK} occurs at | |
125 most once. The @dfn{text} of a buffer is obtained by deleting the | |
126 occurrences of @key{PNT} and @key{MRK}. If, in a buffer, there is a | |
127 character following @key{PNT} then we say that point is @dfn{looking at} | |
128 the character; otherwise we say that point is @dfn{at the end of buffer}. | |
129 @key{PNT} and @key{MRK} are used | |
130 to indicate positions in a buffer and they are not part of the text of the | |
131 buffer. If a buffer contains a @key{MRK} then the text between @key{MRK} | |
132 and @key{PNT} is called the @dfn{region} of the buffer.@refill | |
133 | |
134 @cindex window | |
135 | |
136 Emacs provides (multiple) @dfn{windows} on the screen, and you can see the | |
137 content of a buffer through the window associated with the buffer. The | |
138 cursor of the screen is always positioned on the character after @key{PNT}. | |
139 @refill | |
140 | |
141 @cindex mode | |
142 @cindex keymap | |
143 @cindex local keymap | |
144 @cindex global keymap | |
145 | |
146 A @dfn{keymap} is a table that records the bindings between characters and | |
147 command functions. There is the @dfn{global keymap} common to all the | |
148 buffers. Each buffer has its @dfn{local keymap} that determines the | |
149 @dfn{mode} of the buffer. Local keymap overrides global keymap, so that if | |
150 a function is bound to some key in the local keymap then that function will | |
151 be executed when you type the key. If no function is bound to a key in the | |
152 local map, however, the function bound to the key in the global map becomes | |
153 in effect.@refill | |
154 | |
155 @node Loading VIP, Modes in VIP, Basic Concepts, Survey | |
156 @section Loading VIP | |
157 | |
158 The recommended way to load VIP automatically is to include the line: | |
159 @example | |
160 (load "vip") | |
161 @end example | |
162 @noindent | |
163 in your @file{.emacs} file. The @file{.emacs} file is placed in your home | |
164 directory and it will be executed every time you invoke Emacs. If you wish | |
165 to be in vi mode whenever Emacs starts up, you can include the following | |
166 line in your @file{.emacs} file instead of the above line: | |
167 @example | |
168 (setq term-setup-hook 'vip-mode) | |
169 @end example | |
170 @noindent | |
171 (@xref{Vi Mode}, for the explanation of vi mode.) | |
172 | |
173 Even if your @file{.emacs} file does not contain any of the above lines, | |
174 you can load VIP and enter vi mode by typing the following from within | |
175 Emacs. | |
176 @example | |
177 M-x vip-mode | |
178 @end example | |
179 @noindent | |
180 | |
181 @node Modes in VIP, Emacs Mode, Loading VIP, Survey | |
182 @section Modes in VIP | |
183 | |
184 @kindex 032 @kbd{C-z} (@code{vip-change-mode-to-vi}) | |
185 @kindex 0301 @kbd{C-x C-z} (@code{suspend-emacs}) | |
186 | |
187 Loading VIP has the effect of globally binding @kbd{C-z} (@kbd{Control-z}) | |
188 to the function @code{vip-change-mode-to-vi}. The default binding of @kbd{C-z} | |
189 in GNU Emacs is @code{suspend-emacs}, but, you can also call | |
190 @code{suspend-emacs} by typing @kbd{C-x C-z}. Other than this, all the | |
191 key bindings of Emacs remain the same after loading VIP.@refill | |
192 | |
193 @cindex vi mode | |
194 | |
195 Now, if you hit @kbd{C-z}, the function @code{vip-change-mode-to-vi} will be | |
196 called and you will be in @dfn{vi mode}. (Some major modes may locally bind | |
197 @kbd{C-z} to some special functions. In such cases, you can call | |
198 @code{vip-change-mode-to-vi} by @code{execute-extended-command} which is | |
199 invoked by @kbd{M-x}. Here @kbd{M-x} means @kbd{Meta-x}, and if your | |
200 terminal does not have a @key{META} key you can enter it by typing | |
201 @kbd{@key{ESC} x}. The same effect can also be achieve by typing | |
202 @kbd{M-x vip-mode}.)@refill | |
203 | |
204 @cindex mode line | |
205 | |
206 You can observe the change of mode by looking at the @dfn{mode line}. For | |
207 instance, if the mode line is:@refill | |
208 @example | |
209 -----Emacs: *scratch* (Lisp Interaction)----All------------ | |
210 @end example | |
211 @noindent | |
212 then it will change to: | |
213 @example | |
214 -----Vi: *scratch* (Lisp Interaction)----All------------ | |
215 @end example | |
216 @noindent | |
217 Thus the word @samp{Emacs} in the mode line will change to @samp{Vi}. | |
218 | |
219 @cindex insert mode | |
220 @cindex emacs mode | |
221 | |
222 You can go back to the original @dfn{emacs mode} by typing @kbd{C-z} in | |
223 vi mode. Thus @kbd{C-z} toggles between these two modes.@refill | |
224 | |
225 Note that modes in VIP exist orthogonally to modes in Emacs. This means | |
226 that you can be in vi mode and at the same time, say, shell mode. | |
227 | |
228 Vi mode corresponds to Vi's command mode. From vi mode you can enter | |
229 @dfn{insert mode} (which corresponds to Vi's insert mode) by usual Vi command | |
230 keys like @kbd{i}, @kbd{a}, @kbd{o} @dots{} etc. | |
231 | |
232 In insert mode, the mode line will look like this: | |
233 @example | |
234 -----Insert *scratch* (Lisp Interaction)----All------------ | |
235 @end example | |
236 @noindent | |
237 You can exit from insert mode by hitting @key{ESC} key as you do in Vi. | |
238 | |
239 That VIP has three modes may seem very complicated, but in fact it is not | |
240 so. VIP is implemented so that you can do most editing remaining only | |
241 in the two modes for Vi (that is vi mode and insert mode). | |
242 | |
243 @ifinfo | |
244 The figure below shows the transition of three modes in VIP. | |

265 | |
266 You will be in this mode just after you loaded VIP. You can do all | |
267 normal Emacs editing in this mode. Note that the key @kbd{C-z} is globally | |
268 bound to @code{vip-change-mode-to-vi}. So, if you type @kbd{C-z} in this mode | |
269 then you will be in vi mode.@refill | |
270 | |
271 @node Vi Mode, Insert Mode, Emacs Mode, Modes in VIP | |
272 @subsection Vi Mode | |
273 | |
274 This mode corresponds to Vi's command mode. Most Vi commands work as they | |
275 do in Vi. You can go back to emacs mode by typing @kbd{C-z}. You can | |
276 enter insert mode, just as in Vi, by typing @kbd{i}, @kbd{a} etc. | |
277 | |
278 @node Insert Mode, Differences from Vi, Vi Mode, Modes in VIP | |
279 @subsection Insert Mode | |
280 | |
281 The key bindings in this mode is the same as in the emacs mode except for | |
282 the following 4 keys. So, you can move around in the buffer and change | |
283 its content while you are in insert mode. | |
284 | |
285 @table @kbd | |
286 @item @key{ESC} | |
287 @kindex 033 @kbd{ESC} (@code{vip-change-mode-to-vi}) (insert mode) | |
288 This key will take you back to vi mode. | |
289 @item C-h | |
290 @kindex 010 @kbd{C-h} (@code{vip-delete-backward-char}) (insert mode) | |
291 Delete previous character. | |
292 @item C-w | |
293 @kindex 027 @kbd{C-w} (@code{vip-delete-backward-word}) (insert mode) | |
294 Delete previous word. | |
295 @item C-z | |
296 @kindex 032 @kbd{C-z} (@code{vip-ESC}) (insert mode) | |
297 Typing this key has the same effect as typing @key{ESC} in emacs mode. | |
298 Thus typing @kbd{C-z x} in insert mode will have the same effect as typing | |
299 @kbd{ESC x} in emacs mode. | |

331 @kindex 056 @kbd{.} (@code{vip-repeat}) | |
332 | |
333 You can repeat undoing by the @kbd{.} key. So, @kbd{u} will undo | |
334 a single change, while @kbd{u .@: .@: .@:}, for instance, will undo 4 previous | |
335 changes. Undo is undoable as in Vi. So the content of the buffer will | |
336 be the same before and after @kbd{u u}.@refill | |

338 @node Changing, Searching, Undoing, Differences from Vi | |
339 @subsection Changing | |
340 | |
341 Some commands which change a small number of characters are executed | |
342 slightly differently. Thus, if point is at the beginning of a word | |
343 @samp{foo} and you wished to change it to @samp{bar} by typing @w{@kbd{c w}}, | |
344 then VIP will prompt you for a new word in the minibuffer by the prompt | |
345 @samp{foo => }. You can then enter @samp{bar} followed by @key{RET} or | |
346 @key{ESC} to complete the command. Before you enter @key{RET} or | |
347 @key{ESC} you can abort the command by typing @kbd{C-g}. In general, | |
348 @kindex 007 @kbd{C-g} (@code{vip-keyboard-quit}) | |
349 you can abort a partially formed command by typing @kbd{C-g}.@refill | |

353 | |
354 @kindex 057 @kbd{/} (@code{vip-search-forward}) | |
355 @kindex 077 @kbd{?} (@code{vip-search-backward}) | |
356 | |
357 As in Vi, searching is done by @kbd{/} and @kbd{?}. The string will be | |
358 searched literally by default. To invoke a regular expression search, | |
359 first execute the search command @kbd{/} (or @kbd{?}) with empty search | |
360 string. (I.e, type @kbd{/} followed by @key{RET}.) | |
361 A search for empty string will toggle the search mode between vanilla | |
362 search and regular expression search. You cannot give an offset to the | |
363 search string. (It is a limitation.) By default, search will wrap around | |
364 the buffer as in Vi. You can change this by rebinding the variable | |
365 @code{vip-search-wrap-around}. @xref{Customization}, for how to do this.@refill | |

433 Vi operators like @kbd{d}, @kbd{c} etc. are usually used in combination | |
434 with motion commands. It is now possible to use current region as the | |
435 argument to these operators. (A @dfn{region} is a part of buffer | |
436 delimited by point and mark.) The key @kbd{r} is used for this purpose. | |
437 Thus @kbd{d r} will delete the current region. If @kbd{R} is used instead | |
438 of @kbd{r} the region will first be enlarged so that it will become the | |
439 smallest region containing the original region and consisting of whole | |
440 lines. Thus @kbd{m .@: d R} will have the same effect as @kbd{d d}.@refill | |

444 | |
445 Note that the keys below (except for @kbd{R}) are not used in Vi. | |
446 | |
447 @table @kbd | |
448 @item C-a | |
449 @kindex 001 @kbd{C-a} (@code{vip-beginning-of-line}) | |
450 Move point to the beginning of line. | |
451 @item C-n | |
452 @kindex 016 @kbd{C-n} (@code{vip-next-window}) | |
453 If you have two or more windows in the screen, this key will move point to | |
454 the next window. | |
455 @item C-o | |
456 @kindex 017 @kbd{C-o} (@code{vip-open-line-at-point}) | |
457 Insert a newline and leave point before it, and then enter insert mode. | |
458 @item C-r | |
459 @kindex 022 @kbd{C-r} (@code{isearch-backward}) | |
460 Backward incremental search. | |
461 @item C-s | |
462 @kindex 023 @kbd{C-s} (@code{isearch-forward}) | |
463 Forward incremental search. | |
464 @item C-c | |
465 @itemx C-x | |
466 @itemx @key{ESC} | |
467 @kindex 003 @kbd{C-c} (@code{vip-ctl-c}) | |
468 @kindex 0300 @kbd{C-x} (@code{vip-ctl-x}) | |
469 @kindex 033 @kbd{ESC} (@code{vip-ESC}) | |
470 These keys will exit from vi mode and return to emacs mode temporarily. If | |
471 you hit one of these keys, Emacs will be in emacs mode and will believe | |
472 that you hit that key in emacs mode. For example, if you hit @kbd{C-x} | |
473 followed by @kbd{2}, then the current window will be split into 2 and you | |
474 will be in vi mode again. | |
475 @item \ | |
476 @kindex 134 @kbd{\} (@code{vip-escape-to-emacs}) | |
477 Escape to emacs mode. Hitting @kbd{\} will take you to emacs mode, and you | |
478 can execute a single Emacs command. After executing the Emacs command you | |
479 will be in vi mode again. You can give a count before typing @kbd{\}. | |
480 Thus @kbd{5 \ *}, as well as @kbd{\ C-u 5 *}, will insert @samp{*****} | |
481 before point. Similarly @kbd{1 0 \ C-p} will move the point 10 lines above | |
482 the current line.@refill | |
483 @item K | |
484 @kindex 113 @kbd{K} (@code{vip-kill-buffer}) | |
485 Kill current buffer if it is not modified. Useful when you selected a | |
486 buffer which you did not want. | |
487 @item Q | |
488 @itemx R | |
489 @kindex 121 @kbd{Q} (@code{vip-query-replace}) | |
490 @kindex 122 @kbd{R} (@code{vip-replace-string}) | |
491 @kbd{Q} is for query replace and @kbd{R} is for replace. By default, | |
492 string to be replaced are treated literally. If you wish to do a regular | |
493 expression replace, first do replace with empty string as the string to be | |
494 replaced. In this way, you can toggle between vanilla and regular | |
495 expression replacement. | |
496 @item v | |
497 @itemx V | |
498 @kindex 166 @kbd{v} (@code{vip-find-file}) | |
499 @kindex 126 @kbd{V} (@code{vip-find-file-other-window}) | |
500 These keys are used to Visit files. @kbd{v} will switch to a buffer | |
501 visiting file whose name can be entered in the minibuffer. @kbd{V} is | |
502 similar, but will use window different from the current window. | |
503 @item # | |
504 @kindex 0430 @kbd{#} (@code{vip-command-argument}) | |
505 If followed by a certain character @var{ch}, it becomes an operator whose | |
506 argument is the region determined by the motion command that follows. | |
507 Currently, @var{ch} can be one of @kbd{c}, @kbd{C}, @kbd{g}, @kbd{q} and | |
508 @kbd{s}.@refill | |
509 @item # c | |
510 @kindex 0432 @kbd{# c} (@code{downcase-region}) | |
511 Change upper-case characters in the region to lower case | |
512 (@code{downcase-region}). | |
513 @item # C | |
514 @kindex 0431 @kbd{# C} (@code{upcase-region}) | |
515 Change lower-case characters in the region to upper case. For instance, | |
516 @kbd{# C 3 w} will capitalize 3 words from the current point | |
517 (@code{upcase-region}). | |
518 @item # g | |
519 @kindex 0432 @kbd{# g} (@code{vip-global-execute}) | |

535 @subsection New Key Bindings | |
536 | |
537 In VIP the meanings of some keys are entirely different from Vi. These key | |
538 bindings are done deliberately in the hope that editing under Emacs will | |
539 become easier. It is however possible to rebind these keys to functions | |
540 which behave similarly as in Vi. @xref{Customizing Key Bindings}, for | |
541 details. | |
542 | |
543 @table @kbd | |
544 @item C-g | |
545 @itemx g | |
546 @kindex 007 @kbd{C-g} (@code{vip-keyboard-quit}) | |
547 @kindex 147 @kbd{g} (@code{vip-info-on-file}) | |
548 In Vi, @kbd{C-g} is used to get information about the file associated to | |
549 the current buffer. Here, @kbd{g} will do that, and @kbd{C-g} is | |
550 used to abort a command (this is for compatibility with emacs mode.) | |
551 @item SPC | |
552 @itemx @key{RET} | |
553 @kindex 040 @kbd{SPC} (@code{vip-scroll}) | |
554 @kindex 015 @kbd{RET} (@code{vip-scroll-back}) | |
555 Now these keys will scroll up and down the text of current window. | |
556 Convenient for viewing the text. | |
557 @item s | |
558 @itemx S | |
559 @kindex 163 @kbd{s} (@code{vip-switch-to-buffer}) | |
560 @kindex 123 @kbd{S} (@code{vip-switch-to-buffer-other-window}) | |
561 They are used to switch to a specified buffer. Useful for switching to | |
562 already existing buffer since buffer name completion is provided. Also | |
563 a default buffer will be given as part of the prompt, to which you can | |
564 switch by just typing @key{RET} key. @kbd{s} is used to select buffer | |
565 in the current window, while @kbd{S} selects buffer in another window. | |
566 @item C | |
567 @itemx X | |
568 @kindex 103 @kbd{C} (@code{vip-ctl-c-equivalent}) | |
569 @kindex 1300 @kbd{X} (@code{vip-ctl-x-equivalent}) | |
570 These keys will exit from vi mode and return to emacs mode temporarily. | |
571 If you type @kbd{C} (@kbd{X}), Emacs will be in emacs mode and will believe | |
572 that you have typed @kbd{C-c} (@kbd{C-x}, resp.) in emacs mode. Moreover, | |
573 if the following character you type is an upper-case letter, then Emacs | |
574 will believe that you have typed the corresponding control character. | |
575 You will be in vi mode again after the command is executed. For example, | |
576 typing @kbd{X S} in vi mode is the same as typing @kbd{C-x C-s} in emacs | |
577 mode. You get the same effect by typing @kbd{C-x C-s} in vi mode, but | |
578 the idea here is that you can execute useful Emacs commands without typing | |
579 control characters. For example, if you hit @kbd{X} (or @kbd{C-x}) followed | |
580 by @kbd{2}, then the current window will be split into 2 and you will be in | |
581 vi mode again.@refill | |
582 @end table | |
583 | |
584 In addition to these, @code{ctl-x-map} is slightly modified: | |
585 | |
586 @kindex 1301 @kbd{X 3} (@code{vip-buffer-in-two-windows}) | |
587 | |
588 @table @kbd | |
589 @item X 3 | |
590 @itemx C-x 3 | |

755 Typing one of these keys have the same effect as typing it in emacs mode. | |
756 Appropriate command will be executed according as the keys you type after | |
757 it. You will be in vi mode again after the execution of the command. | |
758 For instance, if you type @kbd{@key{ESC} <} (in vi mode) then the cursor will | |
759 move to the beginning of the buffer and you will still be in vi mode. | |

765 control character in emacs mode. Moreover, if you type an upper-case | |
766 character following it, that character will also be translated to the | |
767 corresponding control character. Thus typing @kbd{X W} in vi mode is the | |

793 You can see the contents of buffers through @dfn{windows} created by Emacs. | |
794 When you have multiple windows on the screen only one of them is selected. | |
795 Each buffer has a unique name, and each window has a mode line which shows | |
796 the name of the buffer associated with the window and other information | |
797 about the status of the buffer. You can change the format of the mode | |
798 line, but normally if you see @samp{**} at the beginning of a mode line it | |
799 means that the buffer is @dfn{modified}. If you write out the content of | |
800 the buffer to a file, then the buffer will become not modified. Also if | |
801 you see @samp{%%} at the beginning of the mode line, it means that the file | |

838 As @dfn{buffer name completion} is provided, you have only to type in | |
839 initial substring of the buffer name which is sufficient to identify it | |
840 among names of existing buffers. After that, if you hit @key{TAB} the rest | |
841 of the buffer name will be supplied by the system, and you can confirm it | |
842 by @key{RET}. The default buffer name to switch to will also be prompted, | |
843 and you can select it by giving a simple @key{RET}. See GNU Emacs Manual | |
844 for details of completion. | |

847 @section Files | |
848 | |
849 We have the following commands related to files. They are used to visit, | |
850 save and insert files. | |
851 | |
852 @table @kbd | |
853 @item v @var{file} @key{RET} | |
854 @kindex 166 @kbd{v} (@code{vip-find-file}) | |
855 Visit specified file in the current window (@code{vip-find-file}). | |
856 @item V @var{file} @key{RET} | |
857 @kindex 126 @kbd{V} (@code{vip-find-file-other-window}) | |
858 Visit specified file in another window (@code{vip-find-file-other-window}). | |
859 @item X S | |
860 @kindex 1302 @kbd{X S} (@code{save-buffer}) | |
861 Save current buffer to the file associated with the buffer. If no file is | |
862 associated with the buffer, the name of the file to write out the content | |
863 of the buffer will be asked in the minibuffer. | |
864 @item X W @var{file} @key{RET} | |
865 @kindex 1302 @kbd{X W} (@code{write-file}) | |
866 Write current buffer into a specified file. | |
867 @item X I @var{file} @key{RET} | |
868 @kindex 1302 @kbd{X I} (@code{insert-file}) | |
869 Insert a specified file at point. | |
870 @item g | |
871 @kindex 147 @kbd{g} (@code{vip-info-on-file}) | |
872 Give information on the file associated with the current buffer. Tell you | |
873 the name of the file associated with the buffer, the line number of the | |
874 current point and total line numbers in the buffer. If no file is | |
875 associated with the buffer, this fact will be indicated by the null file | |
876 name @samp{""}. | |
877 @end table | |
878 | |
879 @cindex visiting (a file) | |
880 @cindex default directory | |
881 | |
882 In Emacs, you can edit a file by @dfn{visiting} it. If you wish to visit a | |
883 file in the current window, you can just type @kbd{v}. Emacs maintains the | |
884 @dfn{default directory} which is specific to each buffer. Suppose, for | |
885 instance, that the default directory of the current buffer is | |
886 @file{/usr/masahiko/lisp/}. Then you will get the following prompt in the | |
887 minibuffer.@refill | |
888 @example | |
889 visit file: /usr/masahiko/lisp/ | |
890 @end example | |
891 @noindent | |
892 @cindex file name completion | |
893 If you wish to visit, say, @file{vip.el} in this directory, then you can | |
894 just type @samp{vip.el} followed by @key{RET}. If the file @file{vip.el} | |
895 already exists in the directory, Emacs will visit that file, and if not, | |
896 the file will be created. Emacs will use the file name (@file{vip.el}, in | |
897 this case) as the name of the buffer visiting the file. In order to make | |
898 the buffer name unique, Emacs may append @samp{<2>}, @samp{<3>} etc., to | |
899 the buffer name. As the @dfn{file name completion} is provided here, you | |
900 can sometime save typing. For instance, suppose there is only one file in the | |
901 default directory whose name starts with @samp{v}, that is @samp{vip.el}. | |
902 Then if you just type @kbd{v @key{TAB}} then it will be completed to | |
903 @samp{vip.el}. Thus, in this case, you just have to type @kbd{v v @key{TAB} | |
904 @key{RET}} to visit @file{/usr/masahiko/lisp/vip.el}. Continuing the | |
905 example, let us now suppose that you wished to visit the file | |
906 @file{/usr/masahiko/man/vip.texinfo}. Then to the same prompt which you get | |
907 after you typed @kbd{v}, you can enter @samp{/usr/masahiko/man/vip.texinfo} or | |
908 @samp{../man/vip.texinfo} followed by @key{RET}. | |
909 | |
910 Use @kbd{V} instead of @kbd{v}, if you wish to visit a file in another | |
911 window. | |
912 | |
913 You can verify which file you are editing by typing @kbd{g}. (You can also | |
914 type @kbd{X B} to get nformation on other buffers too.) If you type | |
915 @kbd{g} you will get an information like below in the echo area:@refill | |
916 @example | |
917 "/usr/masahiko/man/vip.texinfo" line 921 of 1949 | |
918 @end example | |
919 | |
920 After you edited the buffer (@samp{vip.texinfo}, in our example) for a while, | |
921 you may wish to save it in a file. If you wish to save it in the file | |
922 associated with the buffer (@file{/usr/masahiko/man/vip.texinfo}, in this | |
923 case), you can just say @kbd{X S}. If you wish to save it in another file, | |
924 you can type @kbd{X W}. You will then get a similar prompt as you get for | |
925 @kbd{v}, to which you can enter the file name.@refill | |

930 In this and next section we discuss commands for moving around in the | |
931 buffer. These command do not change the content of the buffer. The | |
932 following commands are useful for viewing the content of the current | |

944 @kindex 015 @kbd{RET} (@code{vip-scroll-back}) | |
945 @kindex 002 @kbd{C-b} (@code{vip-scroll-back}) | |
946 Scroll text of current window downward almost full screen. You can go | |
947 @i{backward} in the buffer by this command (@code{vip-scroll-back}). | |
948 @itemx C-d | |
949 @kindex 004 @kbd{C-d} (@code{vip-scroll-up}) | |

952 @itemx C-u | |
953 @kindex 025 @kbd{C-u} (@code{vip-scroll-down}) | |
954 Scroll text of current window downward half screen. You can go | |
955 @i{up} in the buffer by this command (@code{vip-scroll-up}). | |
956 @item C-y | |
957 @kindex 031 @kbd{C-y} (@code{vip-scroll-down-one}) | |

973 @kindex 1721 @kbd{z RET} (@code{vip-line-to-top}) | |
974 Put point on the top (@i{home}) line in the window. So the current line | |
975 becomes the top line in the window. Given a count @var{n}, point will be | |
976 placed in the @var{n}-th line from top (@code{vip-line-to-top}). | |

1017 Emacs uses the @dfn{mark ring} to store marked positions. The commands | |
1018 @kbd{m <}, @kbd{m >} and @kbd{m .}@: not only set mark but also add it as the | |
1019 latest element of the mark ring (replacing the oldest one). By repeating | |
1020 the command `@kbd{m ,}' you can visit older and older marked positions. You | |
1021 will eventually be in a loop as the mark ring is a ring. | |

1224 @table @kbd | |
1225 @item / @var{string} @key{RET} | |
1226 @kindex 057 @kbd{/} (@code{vip-search-forward}) | |
1227 Search the first occurrence of the string @var{string} forward starting | |
1228 from point. Given a count @var{n}, the @var{n}-th occurrence of | |
1229 @var{string} will be searched. If the variable @code{vip-re-search} has value | |
1230 @code{t} then @dfn{regular expression} search is done and the string | |
1231 matching the regular expression @var{string} is found. If you give an | |
1232 empty string as @var{string} then the search mode will change from vanilla | |
1233 search to regular expression search and vice versa | |
1234 (@code{vip-search-forward}). | |
1235 @item ? @var{string} @key{RET} | |
1236 @kindex 077 @kbd{?} (@code{vip-search-backward}) | |
1237 Same as @kbd{/}, except that search is done backward | |
1238 (@code{vip-search-backward}). | |
1239 @item n | |
1240 @kindex 156 @kbd{n} (@code{vip-search-next}) | |
1241 Search the previous search pattern in the same direction as before | |
1242 (@code{vip-search-next}). | |
1243 @item N | |
1244 @kindex 116 @kbd{N} (@code{vip-search-Next}) | |
1245 Search the previous search pattern in the opposite direction | |
1246 (@code{vip-search-Next}). | |
1247 @item C-s | |
1248 @kindex 023 @kbd{C-s} (@code{isearch-forward}) | |

1256 @item R @var{string} RET @var{newstring} | |
1257 @kindex 122 @kbd{R} (@code{vip-replace-string}) | |
1258 There are two modes of replacement, @dfn{vanilla} and @dfn{regular expression}. | |
1259 If the mode is @i{vanilla} you will get a prompt @samp{Replace string:}, | |
1260 and if the mode is @i{regular expression} you will ge a prompt | |
1261 @samp{Replace regexp:}. The mode is initially @i{vanilla}, but you can | |
1262 toggle these modes by giving a null string as @var{string}. If the mode is | |
1263 vanilla, this command replaces every occurrence of @var{string} with | |
1264 @var{newstring}. If the mode is regular expression, @var{string} is | |
1265 treated as a regular expression and every string matching the regular | |
1266 expression is replaced with @var{newstring} (@code{vip-replace-string}). | |
1267 @item Q @var{string} RET @var{newstring} | |
1268 @kindex 121 @kbd{Q} (@code{vip-query-replace}) | |
1269 Same as @kbd{R} except that you will be asked form confirmation before each | |
1270 replacement | |
1271 @*(@code{vip-query-replace}). | |
1272 @item r @var{ch} | |
1273 @kindex 162 @kbd{r} (@code{vip-replace-char}) | |

1282 @section Modifying Commands | |
1283 | |
1284 In this section, commands for modifying the content of a buffer are | |
1285 described. These commands affect the region determined by a motion command | |
1286 which is given to the commands as their argument. | |
1287 | |
1288 @cindex point commands | |
1289 @cindex line commands | |
1290 | |
1291 We classify motion commands into @dfn{point commands} and | |
1292 @dfn{line commands}. The point commands are as follows: | |
1293 @example | |
1294 @kbd{h}, @kbd{l}, @kbd{0}, @kbd{^}, @kbd{$}, @kbd{w}, @kbd{W}, @kbd{b}, @kbd{B}, @kbd{e}, @kbd{E}, @kbd{(}, @kbd{)}, @kbd{/}, @kbd{?}, @kbd{`}, @kbd{f}, @kbd{F}, @kbd{t}, @kbd{T}, @kbd{%}, @kbd{;}, @kbd{,} | |
1295 @end example | |
1296 @noindent | |
1297 The line commands are as follows: | |
1298 @example | |
1299 @kbd{j}, @kbd{k}, @kbd{+}, @kbd{-}, @kbd{H}, @kbd{M}, @kbd{L}, @kbd{@{}, @kbd{@}}, @kbd{G}, @kbd{'} | |
1300 @end example | |
1301 @noindent | |
1302 @cindex expanding (region) | |
1303 If a point command is given as an argument to a modifying command, the | |
1304 region determined by the point command will be affected by the modifying | |
1305 command. On the other hand, if a line command is given as an argument to a | |
1306 modifying command, the region determined by the line command will be | |
1307 enlarged so that it will become the smallest region properly containing the | |
1308 region and consisting of whole lines (we call this process @dfn{expanding | |
1309 the region}), and then the enlarged region will be affected by the modifying | |
1310 command. | |

1320 @subsection Delete Commands | |
1321 | |
1322 @table @kbd | |
1323 @item d @var{motion-command} | |
1324 @kindex 1440 @kbd{d} (@code{vip-command-argument}) | |
1325 Delete the region determined by the motion command @var{motion-command}. | |
1326 @end table | |
1327 @noindent | |
1328 For example, @kbd{d $} will delete the region between point and end of | |
1329 current line since @kbd{$} is a point command that moves point to end of line. | |
1330 @kbd{d G} will delete the region between the beginning of current line and | |
1331 end of the buffer, since @kbd{G} is a line command. A count given to the | |
1332 command above will become the count for the associated motion command. | |
1333 Thus, @kbd{3 d w} will delete three words. | |
1334 | |
1335 @kindex 042 @kbd{"} (@code{vip-command-argument}) | |
1336 It is also possible to save the deleted text into a register you specify. | |
1337 For example, you can say @kbd{" t 3 d w} to delete three words and save it | |
1338 to register @kbd{t}. The name of a register is a lower-case letter between | |
1339 @kbd{a} and @kbd{z}. If you give an upper-case letter as an argument to | |
1340 a delete command, then the deleted text will be appended to the content of | |
1341 the register having the corresponding lower-case letter as its name. So, | |
1342 @kbd{" T d w} will delete a word and append it to register @kbd{t}. Other | |
1343 modifying commands also accept a register name as their argument, and we | |
1344 will not repeat similar explanations. | |
1345 | |
1346 We have more delete commands as below. | |

1373 | |
1374 @cindex yank | |
1375 | |
1376 Yank commands @dfn{yank} a text of buffer into a (usually anonymous) register. | |
1377 Here the word `yank' is used in Vi's sense. Thus yank commands do not | |
1378 alter the content of the buffer, and useful only in combination with | |
1379 commands that put back the yanked text into the buffer. | |
1380 | |
1381 @table @kbd | |
1382 @item y @var{motion-command} | |
1383 @kindex 1710 @kbd{y} (@code{vip-command-argument}) | |
1384 Yank the region determined by the motion command @var{motion-command}. | |
1385 @end table | |
1386 @noindent | |
1387 For example, @kbd{y $} will yank the text between point and the end of line | |
1388 into an anonymous register, while @kbd{"c y $} will yank the same text into | |
1389 register @kbd{c}. | |

1399 @item y r | |
1400 @kindex 1712 @kbd{y r} | |
1401 Yank current region. | |

1409 Deleted or yanked texts can be put back into the buffer by the command | |
1410 below. | |
1411 | |
1412 @table @kbd | |
1413 @item p | |
1414 @kindex 160 @kbd{p} (@code{vip-put-back}) | |
1415 Insert, after the character point is looking at, most recently | |
1416 deleted/yanked text from anonymous register. Given a register name | |
1417 argument, the content of the named register will be put back. Given a | |
1418 count, the command will be repeated that many times. This command also | |
1419 checks if the text to put back ends with a new line character, and if so | |
1420 the text will be put below the current line (@code{vip-put-back}). | |
1421 @item P | |
1422 @kindex 120 @kbd{P} (@code{vip-Put-back}) | |
1423 Insert at point most recently deleted/yanked text from anonymous register. | |
1424 Given a register name argument, the content of the named register will | |
1425 be put back. Given a count, the command will be repeated that many times. | |
1426 This command also checks if the text to put back ends with a new line | |
1427 character, and if so the text will be put above the current line rather | |
1428 than at point (@code{vip-Put-back}). | |
1429 @end table | |
1430 @noindent | |
1431 @cindex number register | |
1432 Thus, @kbd{" c p} will put back the content of the register @kbd{c} into the | |
1433 buffer. It is also possible to specify @dfn{number register} which is a | |
1434 numeral between @kbd{1} and @kbd{9}. If the number register @var{n} is | |
1435 specified, @var{n}-th previously deleted/yanked text will be put back. It | |
1436 is an error to specify a number register for the delete/yank commands. | |

1441 Most commonly used change command takes the following form. | |

1443 @table @kbd | |
1444 @item c @var{motion-command} | |
1445 @kindex 1430 @kbd{c} (@code{vip-command-argument}) | |
1446 Replace the content of the region determined by the motion command | |
1447 @var{motion-command} by the text you type. If the motion command is a | |
1448 point command then you will type the text into minibuffer, and if the | |
1449 motion command is a line command then the region will be deleted first and | |
1450 you can insert the text in @var{insert mode}. | |
1451 @end table | |
1452 @noindent | |
1453 For example, if point is at the beginning of a word @samp{foo} and you | |
1454 wish to change it to @samp{bar}, you can type @kbd{c w}. Then, as @kbd{w} | |
1455 is a point command, you will get the prompt @samp{foo =>} in the | |
1456 minibuffer, for which you can type @kbd{b a r @key{RET}} to complete the change | |
1457 command.@refill | |
1458 | |

1481 command @samp{.}. For example, you can undo 5 previous changes by typing | |
1482 @samp{u....}. If you type @samp{uu}, then the second @samp{u} undoes the | |
1483 first undo command (@code{vip-undo}). | |
1484 @item . | |
1485 @kindex 056 @kbd{.} (@code{vip-repeat}) | |
1486 Repeat the last modifying command. Given count @var{n} it becomes the new | |

1668 @noindent | |
1669 You can also bind @kbd{C-h} to @code{help-command} if you like. | |
1670 (@xref{Customizing Key Bindings}, for details.) Binding @kbd{C-h} to | |
1671 @code{help-command} has the effect of making the meaning of @kbd{C-h} | |
1672 uniform among emacs, vi and insert modes. | |
1673 | |
1674 When you enter insert mode, VIP records point as the start point of | |
1675 insertion, and when you leave insert mode the region between point and | |
1676 start point is saved for later use by repeat command etc. Therefore, repeat | |
1677 command will not really repeat insertion if you move point by emacs | |
1678 commands while in insert mode. | |

1684 | |
1685 In vi mode, you can execute an Ex command @var{ex-command} by typing: | |
1686 @example | |
1687 @kbd{:@: @var{ex-command} @key{RET}} | |
1688 @end example | |
1689 Every Ex command follows the following pattern: | |
1690 @example | |
1691 @var{address command} @kbd{!}@: @var{parameters count flags} | |
1692 @end example | |
1693 @noindent | |
1694 @cindex address | |
1695 where all parts are optional. For the syntax of @dfn{address}, the reader | |
1696 is referred to the reference manual of Ex. | |
1697 | |
1698 @cindex magic | |
1699 @cindex regular expression | |
1700 | |
1701 In the current version of VIP, searching by Ex commands is always | |
1702 @dfn{magic}. That is, search patterns are always treated as @dfn{regular | |
1703 expressions}. For example, a typical forward search would be invoked by | |
1704 @kbd{:/@var{pat}/}. If you wish to include @samp{/} as part of | |
1705 @var{pat} you must preceded it by @samp{\}. VIP strips off these @kbd{\}'s | |
1706 before @kbd{/} and the resulting @var{pat} becomes the actual search | |
1707 pattern. Emacs provides a different and richer class or regular | |
1708 expressions than Vi/Ex, and VIP uses Emacs' regular expressions. See GNU | |
1709 Emacs Manual for details of regular expressions. | |
1710 | |
1711 Several Ex commands can be entered in a line by separating them by a pipe | |
1712 character @samp{|}. | |

1718 @section Ex Command Reference | |
1719 In this section we briefly explain all the Ex commands supported by VIP. | |
1720 Most Ex commands expect @var{address} as their argument, and they use | |
1721 default addresses if they are not explicitly given. In the following, such | |
1722 default addresses will be shown in parentheses. | |
1723 | |
1724 Most command names can and preferably be given in abbreviated forms. In | |
1725 the following, optional parts of command names will be enclosed in | |
1726 brackets. For example, @samp{co[py]} will mean that copy command can be | |
1727 give as @samp{co} or @samp{cop} or @samp{copy}. | |
1728 | |
1729 If @var{command} is empty, point will move to the beginning of the line | |
1730 specified by the @var{address}. If @var{address} is also empty, point will | |
1731 move to the beginning of the current line. | |
1732 | |
1733 @cindex flag | |
1734 | |
1735 Some commands accept @dfn{flags} which are one of @kbd{p}, @kbd{l} and | |
1736 @kbd{#}. If @var{flags} are given, the text affected by the commands will | |
1737 be displayed on a temporary window, and you will be asked to hit return to | |
1738 continue. In this way, you can see the text affected by the commands | |
1739 before the commands will be executed. If you hit @kbd{C-g} instead of | |
1740 @key{RET} then the commands will be aborted. Note that the meaning of | |
1741 @var{flags} is different in VIP from that in Vi/Ex. | |
1742 | |
1743 @table @kbd | |
1744 @item (.,.@:) co[py] @var{addr} @var{flags} | |
1745 @itemx (.,.@:) t @var{addr} @var{flags} | |
1746 Place a copy of specified lines after @var{addr}. If @var{addr} is | |
1747 @kbd{0}, it will be placed before the first line. | |
1748 @item (.,.@:) d[elete] @var{register} @var{count} @var{flags} | |
1749 Delete specified lines. Text will be saved in a named @var{register} if a | |
1750 lower-case letter is given, and appended to a register if a capital letter is | |
1751 given. | |
1752 @item e[dit] !@: +@var{addr} @var{file} | |
1753 @itemx e[x] !@: +@var{addr} @var{file} | |
1754 @itemx vi[sual] !@: +@var{addr} @var{file} | |
1755 Edit a new file @var{file} in the current window. The command will abort | |
1756 if current buffer is modified, which you can override by giving @kbd{!}. | |
1757 If @kbd{+}@var{addr} is given, @var{addr} becomes the current line. | |
1758 @item file | |
1759 Give information about the current file. | |
1760 @item (1,$) g[lobal] !@: /@var{pat}/ @var{cmds} | |
1761 @itemx (1,$) v /@var{pat}/ @var{cmds} | |
1762 Among specified lines first mark each line which matches the regular | |
1763 expression @var{pat}, and then execute @var{cmds} on each marked line. | |
1764 If @kbd{!}@: is given, @var{cmds} will be executed on each line not matching | |
1765 @var{pat}. @kbd{v} is same as @kbd{g!}. | |
1766 @item (.,.+1) j[oin] !@: @var{count} @var{flags} | |
1767 Join specified lines into a line. Without @kbd{!}, a space character will | |
1768 be inserted at each junction. | |
1769 @item (.@:) k @var{ch} | |
1770 @itemx (.@:) mar[k] @var{ch} | |
1771 Mark specified line by a lower-case character @var{ch}. Then the | |
1772 addressing form @kbd{'}@var{ch} will refer to this line. No white space is | |
1773 required between @kbd{k} and @var{ch}. A white space is necessary between | |
1774 @kbd{mark} and @var{ch}, however. | |
1775 @item map @var{ch} @var{rhs} | |
1776 Define a macro for vi mode. After this command, the character @var{ch} | |
1777 will be expanded to @var{rhs} in vi mode. | |
1778 @item (.,.@:) m[ove] @var{addr} | |
1779 Move specified lines after @var{addr}. | |
1780 @item (.@:) pu[t] @var{register} | |
1781 Put back previously deleted or yanked text. If @var{register} is given, | |
1782 the text saved in the register will be put back; otherwise, last deleted or | |
1783 yanked text will be put back. | |
1784 @item q[uit] ! | |
1785 Quit from Emacs. If modified buffers with associated files exist, you will | |
1786 be asked whether you wish to save each of them. At this point, you may | |
1787 choose not to quit, by hitting @kbd{C-g}. If @kbd{!}@: is given, exit from | |
1788 Emacs without saving modified buffers. | |
1789 @item (.@:) r[ead] @var{file} | |
1790 Read in the content of the file @var{file} after the specified line. | |
1791 @item (.@:) r[ead] !@: @var{command} | |
1792 Read in the output of the shell command @var{command} after the specified | |
1793 line. | |
1794 @item se[t] | |
1795 Set a variable's value. @xref{Customizing Constants}, for the list of variables | |
1796 you can set. | |
1797 @item sh[ell] | |
1798 Run a subshell in a window. | |
1799 @item (.,.@:) s[ubstitute] /@var{pat}/@var{repl}/ @var{options} @var{count} @var{flags} | |
1800 @itemx (.,.@:) & @var{options} @var{count} @var{flags} | |
1801 On each specified line, the first occurrence of string matching regular | |
1802 expression @var{pat} is replaced by replacement pattern @var{repl}. Option | |
1803 characters are @kbd{g} and @kbd{c}. If global option character @kbd{g} | |
1804 appears as part of @var{options}, all occurrences are substituted. If | |
1805 confirm option character @kbd{c} appears, you will be asked to give | |
1806 confirmation before each substitution. If @kbd{/@var{pat}/@var{repl}/} is | |
1807 missing, the last substitution is repeated. | |
1808 @item st[op] | |
1809 Suspend Emacs. | |
1810 @item ta[g] @var{tag} | |
1811 @cindex tag | |
1812 @cindex selected tags table | |
1813 Find first definition of @var{tag}. If no @var{tag} is given, previously | |
1814 given @var{tag} is used and next alternate definition is find. By default, | |
1815 the file @file{TAGS} in the current directory becomes the @dfn{selected tags | |
1816 table}. You can select another tags table by @kbd{set} command. | |
1817 @xref{Customizing Constants}, for details. | |
1818 @item und[o] | |
1819 Undo the last change. | |
1820 @item unm[ap] @var{ch} | |
1821 The macro expansion associated with @var{ch} is removed. | |
1822 @item ve[rsion] | |
1823 Tell the version number of VIP. | |
1824 @item (1,$) w[rite] !@: @var{file} | |
1825 Write out specified lines into file @var{file}. If no @var{file} is given, | |
1826 text will be written to the file associated to the current buffer. Unless | |
1827 @kbd{!}@: is given, if @var{file} is different from the file associated to | |
1828 the current buffer and if the file @var{file} exists, the command will not | |
1829 be executed. Unlike Ex, @var{file} becomes the file associated to the | |
1830 current buffer. | |
1831 @item (1,$) w[rite]>> @var{file} | |
1832 Write out specified lines at the end of file @var{file}. @var{file} | |
1833 becomes the file associated to the current buffer. | |
1834 @item (1,$) wq !@: @var{file} | |
1835 Same as @kbd{write} and then @kbd{quit}. If @kbd{!}@: is given, same as | |
1836 @kbd{write !}@: then @kbd{quit}. | |
1837 @item (.,.) y[ank] @var{register} @var{count} | |
1838 Save specified lines into register @var{register}. If no register is | |
1839 specified, text will be saved in an anonymous register. | |
1840 @item @var{addr} !@: @var{command} | |
1841 Execute shell command @var{command}. The output will be shown in a new | |
1842 window. If @var{addr} is given, specified lines will be used as standard | |
1843 input to @var{command}. | |
1844 @item ($) = | |
1845 Print the line number of the addressed line. | |
1846 @item (.,.) > @var{count} @var{flags} | |
1847 Shift specified lines to the right. The variable @code{vip-shift-width} | |
1848 (default value is 8) determines the amount of shift. | |
1849 @item (.,.) < @var{count} @var{flags} | |
1850 Shift specified lines to the left. The variable @code{vip-shift-width} | |
1851 (default value is 8) determines the amount of shift. | |
1852 @item (.,.@:) ~ @var{options} @var{count} @var{flags} | |
1853 Repeat the previous @kbd{substitute} command using previous search pattern | |
1854 as @var{pat} for matching. | |
1855 @end table | |

1877 An easy way to customize VIP is to change the values of constants used | |
1878 in VIP. Here is the list of the constants used in VIP and their default | |
1879 values. | |
1880 | |
1881 @table @code | |
1882 @item vip-shift-width 8 | |
1883 The number of columns shifted by @kbd{>} and @kbd{<} command. | |
1884 @item vip-re-replace nil | |
1885 If @code{t} then do regexp replace, if @code{nil} then do string replace. | |
1886 @item vip-search-wrap-around t | |
1887 If @code{t}, search wraps around the buffer. | |
1888 @item vip-re-search nil | |
1889 If @code{t} then search is reg-exp search, if @code{nil} then vanilla | |
1890 search. | |
1891 @item vip-case-fold-search nil | |
1892 If @code{t} search ignores cases. | |
1893 @item vip-re-query-replace nil | |
1894 If @code{t} then do reg-exp replace in query replace. | |
1895 @item vip-open-with-indent nil | |
1896 If @code{t} then indent to the previous current line when open a new line | |
1897 by @kbd{o} or @kbd{O} command. | |
1898 @item vip-tags-file-name "TAGS" | |
1899 The name of the file used as the tags table. | |
1900 @item vip-help-in-insert-mode nil | |
1901 If @code{t} then @key{C-h} is bound to @code{help-command} in insert mode, | |
