# ##############
|
||||
# Introduction
|
||||
# ##############
|
||||
|
||||
# Vim9 script is a modernized version of Vim's scripting language, offering features like variables, functions, and loops.
|
||||
# Accoding to `:help vim9-differences`, the principal differences from legacy Vim script are as follows:
|
||||
#
|
||||
# - Comments start with #, not ": >
|
||||
# echo "hello" # comment
|
||||
# - Using a backslash for line continuation is hardly ever needed: >
|
||||
# echo "hello "
|
||||
# .. yourName
|
||||
# .. ", how are you?"
|
||||
# - White space is required in many places to improve readability.
|
||||
# - Assign values without `:let` *E1126* , declare variables with `:var`: >
|
||||
# var count = 0
|
||||
# count += 3
|
||||
# - Constants can be declared with `:final` and `:const`: >
|
||||
# final matches = [] # add to the list later
|
||||
# const names = ['Betty', 'Peter'] # cannot be changed
|
||||
# - `:final` cannot be used as an abbreviation of `:finally`.
|
||||
# - Variables and functions are script-local by default.
|
||||
# - Functions are declared with argument types and return type: >
|
||||
# def CallMe(count: number, message: string): bool
|
||||
# - Call functions without `:call`: >
|
||||
# writefile(['done'], 'file.txt')
|
||||
# - You cannot use old Ex commands:
|
||||
# `:Print`
|
||||
# `:append`
|
||||
# `:change`
|
||||
# `:d` directly followed by 'd' or 'p'.
|
||||
# `:insert`
|
||||
# `:k`
|
||||
# `:mode`
|
||||
# `:open`
|
||||
# `:s` with only flags
|
||||
# `:t`
|
||||
# `:xit`
|
||||
# - Some commands, especially those used for flow control, cannot be shortened.
|
||||
# E.g., `:throw` cannot be written as `:th`. *vim9-no-shorten*
|
||||
# - You cannot use curly-braces names.
|
||||
# - A range before a command must be prefixed with a colon: >
|
||||
# :%s/this/that
|
||||
# - Executing a register with "@r" does not work, you can prepend a colon or use
|
||||
# `:exe`: >
|
||||
# :exe @a
|
||||
# - Unless mentioned specifically, the highest |scriptversion| is used.
|
||||
# - When defining an expression mapping, the expression will be evaluated in the
|
||||
# context of the script where it was defined.
|
||||
# - When indexing a string the index is counted in characters, not bytes:
|
||||
# |vim9-string-index|
|
||||
# - Some possibly unexpected differences: |vim9-gotchas|.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# You can run Vim9 script commands in command-line mode or write them to a file and source it in Vim.
|
||||
# This guide assumes familiarity with ex-commands and focuses on scripting.
|
||||
|
||||
# Comments start with #
|
||||
# The vertical line '|' separates commands
|
||||
echo 'Hello' | echo 'world!'
|
||||
|
||||
# Putting a comment after a command usually works
|
||||
pwd # Displays the current working directory
|
||||
|
||||
# Line continuation is rarely needed
|
||||
echo "Hello "
|
||||
.. "world"
|
||||
|
||||
echo [1, 2]
|
||||
|
||||
echo {
|
||||
'a': 1,

'b': 2
