vim is an editor well-suited to program.
configuration
The vim editor experience can be enhanced for editing Pascal source code files.
margin
The ex-command
set colorcolumn=80
will change the background of the 80th column.
Depending on the tabstop
you may reach it earlier or later.
This is just a visual guidance.
The textwidth
variable will actually thwart insertion of lines longer than a certain width.
white characters
Using
set listchars=space:⍽
and then activating the “list mode” :set list
, you can display all space characters with a custom symbol.
This uses a different color than the actual character used.
The %
key allows you to jump matching parenthesis and curly braces.
However, extra precautions have to be taken for begin
and end
.
You have enable the matchit
plugin (cf. :help matchit-install
):
packadd! matchit
If you like or have to view/edit source code written in SHOUTCASE, you need to add the following configuration setting:
let b:match_ignorecase = 1
folding
Confer :help folding
.
The original editor of this article recommends manual folds using markers:
set foldmethod=marker
This will generate folds on markers.
The default markers are {{{
and }}}
(confer :help foldmarker
).
Thus, the following code
// procedure foo(integer, Boolean) {{{
procedure foo(const bar: integer; const able: Boolean);
begin
end;
// }}}
will look like
+-- 5 lines: procedure foo(integer, Boolean) ----------------------------------
when folded.
