Re: Saving key mappings

Many thanks indeed. I think that a plugin could not work in my case: it's a single program, not a filetype. Probably saving a series of maps and "-S" (source) the file (as explained in Tony Mechelynck's message) could be the best approach. I'll let you know, and thanks again!

Hi Guido,

Apologies if this is tagnential or not helpful, but some more details of the specific use-case could be helpful! Is it something that you may be able to do with a filetype plugin or similar? If not, is it possible that you could install a plugin which needs manually called to be activated? That way, you could do something similar to `gvim '+MyPluginFunction' to execute MyPluginFunction when it loads.

I think that there are a number of ways to do this, and it's hard to know what the right way is without more details. I get the sense that what you're doing may be accomplished with a tiletype plugin, though!

Hopefully this is helpful,
Bailey

I know that macros and mappings are one of the most frequently discussed topics, so I do apologise if it is a question posed (n = n + 1) times.
I have written a program that, obviously among other tasks, calls (g)vim and opens a given file. I would like to instruct my program to call (g)vim with a given set of key mappings (the ones saved with 'q', as '@a', for example). Would this be possible?
Example: '@c' write '[', pasts the content of system clipboard using "*p and closes ']'.
I know that I can write all :map and :set settings using :mk. I see two options:
* if I cannot save key mappings, I could map the functions to a key, save them to a file: how can I read from this file?
* could marvim be a good solution? In order to publish my program, I would not like to use functions not provided by standard gvim.

The ideal would be something like:

gvim -u file-with-keypmapping textfile

but this would probably ignore the vimrc of the user!


Thank you!
