I've been using vim (specifically neovim) for over a year, I really enjoy how customizable it is, though up until today, I've only customized it through plugins made by other people. Today I wrote two Lua functions to streamline my workflow. I'm not very familiar with Lua but it was quite easy to pick up.
|
|
|
|
First is a function to split my window so it would have two side by side, and a smaller one at the bottom, which gets turned into a terminal.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local createcodeenv = function ()
|
|
vim.cmd('split')
|
|
vim.cmd('wincmd j')
|
|
local win = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
|
|
local height = vim.api.nvim_win_get_height(win)
|
|
vim.api.nvim_win_set_height(win, height - 15)
|
|
vim.cmd('term')
|
|
vim.cmd('wincmd k')
|
|
vim.cmd('vsplit')
|
|
win = vim.api.nvim_get_current_win()
|
|
local buf = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf()
|
|
vim.api.nvim_win_set_buf(win, buf)
|
|
end
|
|
vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('CodeEnv', createcodeenv, {})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Second is a function to bind writing a file and returning to Netrw (the file explorer) to one command, :We.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local writeGoToNetrw = function()
|
|
vim.cmd('w')
|
|
vim.cmd('Ex')
|
|
end
|
|
vim.api.nvim_create_user_command('We', writeGoToNetrw, {})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both of these were things I did manually basically every time I used vim. Defining custom commands to make them easier was a fun learning experience, I look forward to learning more about customizing vim.
