NOTE: This is now deprecated - future development is happening in the core Onivim 2 repo.
Reason API for libvim - an abstraction of Vim as an API.
-
Call
vimInit()
before anything else -
Call
vimInput("i")
orvimInput("<esc>")
to send keystrokes -
Call
vimCommand("%s/hello/world/g")
to execute Ex commands -
Introspect the state with the API, for example:
vimInit();
vimCommand("e ./aBigFile.txt");
/* Use 'G' to move to the end of the file */
vimInput("G");
/* Print line position */
print_endline ("Cursor is at line: " ++ string_of_int(Cursor.getLine()));
/* Type a at the beginning of the line */
vimInput("I");
vimInput("a");
For more example usage, see the test cases
