2 sourcesShow HN: Borland/Turbo C++ flavor menus for Vim 8.2
There are many keymaps defined in my .vimrc. Getting tired from checking .vimrc time to time when I forget some, based on latest +popup feature (vim 8.2), I created this vim-quickui plugin to introduce some basic ui components to enrich vim's interactive experience:
- Well designed and carefully colored Borland/Turbo C++ flavor ui system combined with vim's productivity.
- Can be accessed by keyboard only while mouse is also supported.
- Navigate with the usual Vim keys like h/j/k/l, confirm with ENTER/SPACE and cancel with ESC/Ctrl+[.
- Tip for each entry can display in the cmdline when you are moving the cursor around.
- Pure vim-script, +python is not required.
- No longer have to be afraid to forget keymaps anymore.
