Like a commenter plugin, but for log/print statements
Meant for the quick and dirty debug.
Use any plugin manager (vim-plug, dein, ...) or use Vims built-in plugin system.
Optional:
Install https://github.com/Shougo/context_filetype.vim as well for embedded filetypes, eg. javascript in html.
- preserve indentation
- preserve semicolon at end of line
- toggle on and off
- add below or above on a new line
- define your own language specific strings
- define your own cursor position
- puts cursor at a good spot by default
- goes into insert mode when calling on an empty/new line
- optional support for context_filetype (this might be unstable)
See Defaults to turn default mappings off.
glto toggle the logprint string for the current line.]gto make a new line below with the logprint string and go in insert mode.[gsame but above.
gl isn't used in vim by default.
]g and [g are in unimpaired style and also not used by vim or unimpaired.
Put this in your vimrc to define your own language strings, as the Defaults are limited.
let g:log_print#languages = #{
\ python: #{pre:'print(f"{}"', post:')'}
\ }In Defaults you can see how to use all the functionality.
// example for javascript
// | is cursor
te|st();
// press gl
console.log(test()|);
// press gl again
test()|;
// press ]g
// goes into insert mode
test();
console.log(|);
// empty line with indentation
|
// press gl
// doesn't add the semicolon, only preserves it if it's already there (you can change this)
// goes into insert mode if nothing is wrapped
console.log(|)
// press gl again (in normal mode)
|// example c
te|st();
// press gl (goes into insert for c by default, see #Defaults)
printf("%|", test());
// press d<esc>
printf("%d|", test());
// press gl again
test();" turn default mappings on=1/off=0

" add your own languages strings in here in your vimrc
" keys must match filetypes, values must be dict with specific keys
let g:log_print#languages = {}
" keys in g:log_print#languages override keys in here
" these are the strings defined by the plugin
let s:default_languages = #{
\ vim: #{pre:"echomsg "}, " one string
\ python: #{pre:"print(", post:")"}, " two strings
\ javascript: #{pre:"console.log(", post:")"},
" pre contains | which specifies cursor position after adding
" if preremove and postremove are given they are used as regex for removal
" this is necessay when you plan to modify the added strings, else toggling off will fail
" also note in postremove the semicolon is omitted, so it stays behind after removing
" if insert = 1 it always goes into insert mode
\ c: #{insert:1, pre:'printf("%|", ', post:');', preremove:'printf(".*", ', postremove:')'},
" in pre and post the 'set magic' characters are escaped properly so having eg \n works
" when toggling off, only the last token surrounded (<< token <<) will remain + semicolon
\ cpp: #{pre:"std::cout << |", post:' << "\n";', preremove:'std::cout.*<<\s', postremove:'\s<<[^;]*'},
\ }
" if nothing is defined for the filetype, it uses #{pre:"print(", post:")"}A lot of this functionality can be done with a snippet plugin like ultisnips or vsnip.
The logprint string is determined every time you invoke the command based on
the value of &l:filetype or context_filetype#get_filetype().
This means there are no autocmds involved, but there is a slight overhead
for every call to the plugin.
Toggling the string on in a non empty line should rarely be useful, because in a logprint usually goes an expression, however you don't usually have expressions laying around in your code, without using them somehow.
