| 25 ============================================================================== | |
| 26 1. Introduction *autocmd-intro* | |
| 27 | |
| 22 | 28 You can specify commands to be executed automatically when reading or writing |
| 29 a file, when entering or leaving a buffer or window, and when exiting Vim. | |
| 30 For example, you can create an autocommand to set the 'cindent' option for | |
| 31 files matching *.c. You can also use autocommands to implement advanced | |
| 7 | 32 features, such as editing compressed files (see |gzip-example|). The usual |
| 33 place to put autocommands is in your .vimrc or .exrc file. | |
| 34 | |
| 13231 | 35 *E203* *E204* *E143* *E855* *E937* *E952* |
| 7 | 36 WARNING: Using autocommands is very powerful, and may lead to unexpected side |
| 37 effects. Be careful not to destroy your text. | |
| 38 - It's a good idea to do some testing on an expendable copy of a file first. | |
| 39 For example: If you use autocommands to decompress a file when starting to | |
| 40 edit it, make sure that the autocommands for compressing when writing work | |
| 41 correctly. | |
| 42 - Be prepared for an error halfway through (e.g., disk full). Vim will mostly | |
| 43 be able to undo the changes to the buffer, but you may have to clean up the | |
| 44 changes to other files by hand (e.g., compress a file that has been | |
| 45 decompressed). | |
| 46 - If the BufRead* events allow you to edit a compressed file, the FileRead* | |
| 47 events should do the same (this makes recovery possible in some rare cases). | |
| 48 It's a good idea to use the same autocommands for the File* and Buf* events | |
| 49 when possible. | |
| 50 | |
| 51 ============================================================================== | |
| 52 2. Defining autocommands *autocmd-define* | |
| 53 | |
| 54 *:au* *:autocmd* | |
| 55 :au[tocmd] [group] {event} {pat} [nested] {cmd} | |
| 56 Add {cmd} to the list of commands that Vim will | |
| 57 execute automatically on {event} for a file matching | |

| 7 | 79 Note that special characters (e.g., "%", "<cword>") in the ":autocmd" |
| 80 arguments are not expanded when the autocommand is defined. These will be | |
| 81 expanded when the Event is recognized, and the {cmd} is executed. The only | |
| 82 exception is that "<sfile>" is expanded when the autocmd is defined. Example: | |
| 83 > | |
| 84 :au BufNewFile,BufRead *.html so <sfile>:h/html.vim | |
| 85 | |
| 86 Here Vim expands <sfile> to the name of the file containing this line. | |

96 augroup END |
| 7 | 97 |
| 98 If you don't want to remove all autocommands, you can instead use a variable | |
| 99 to ensure that Vim includes the autocommands only once: > | |
| 100 | |
| 101 :if !exists("autocommands_loaded") | |
| 102 : let autocommands_loaded = 1 | |
| 103 : au ... | |
| 104 :endif | |
| 105 | |
| 106 When the [group] argument is not given, Vim uses the current group (as defined | |
| 107 with ":augroup"); otherwise, Vim uses the group defined with [group]. Note | |
| 108 that [group] must have been defined before. You cannot define a new group | |
| 109 with ":au group ..."; use ":augroup" for that. | |
| 110 | |
| 111 While testing autocommands, you might find the 'verbose' option to be useful: > | |
| 112 :set verbose=9 | |
| 113 This setting makes Vim echo the autocommands as it executes them. | |
| 114 | |
| 115 When defining an autocommand in a script, it will be able to call functions | |
| 116 local to the script and use mappings local to the script. When the event is | |
| 117 triggered and the command executed, it will run in the context of the script | |
| 118 it was defined in. This matters if |<SID>| is used in a command. | |
| 119 | |
| 1621 | 120 When executing the commands, the message from one command overwrites a |
| 7 | 121 previous message. This is different from when executing the commands |
| 122 manually. Mostly the screen will not scroll up, thus there is no hit-enter | |
| 123 prompt. When one command outputs two messages this can happen anyway. | |
| 124 | |
| 125 ============================================================================== | |
| 126 3. Removing autocommands *autocmd-remove* | |
| 127 | |
| 128 :au[tocmd]! [group] {event} {pat} [nested] {cmd} | |
| 129 Remove all autocommands associated with {event} and | |
| 130 {pat}, and add the command {cmd}. See | |
| 131 |autocmd-nested| for [nested]. | |
| 132 | |
| 133 :au[tocmd]! [group] {event} {pat} | |
| 134 Remove all autocommands associated with {event} and | |
| 135 {pat}. | |
| 136 | |
| 137 :au[tocmd]! [group] * {pat} | |
| 138 Remove all autocommands associated with {pat} for all | |
| 139 events. | |
| 140 | |
| 141 :au[tocmd]! [group] {event} | |
| 142 Remove ALL autocommands for {event}. | |

149 group, it breaks plugins, syntax highlighting, etc. |
| 7 | 150 |
| 151 When the [group] argument is not given, Vim uses the current group (as defined | |
| 152 with ":augroup"); otherwise, Vim uses the group defined with [group]. | |
| 153 | |
| 154 ============================================================================== | |
| 155 4. Listing autocommands *autocmd-list* | |
| 156 | |
| 157 :au[tocmd] [group] {event} {pat} | |
| 158 Show the autocommands associated with {event} and | |
| 159 {pat}. | |
| 160 | |
| 161 :au[tocmd] [group] * {pat} | |
| 162 Show the autocommands associated with {pat} for all | |
| 163 events. | |
| 164 | |
| 165 :au[tocmd] [group] {event} | |
| 166 Show all autocommands for {event}. | |
| 167 | |
| 168 :au[tocmd] [group] Show all autocommands. | |
| 169 | |
| 170 If you provide the [group] argument, Vim lists only the autocommands for | |
| 171 [group]; otherwise, Vim lists the autocommands for ALL groups. Note that this | |
| 172 argument behavior differs from that for defining and removing autocommands. | |
| 173 | |
| 40 | 174 In order to list buffer-local autocommands, use a pattern in the form <buffer> |
| 175 or <buffer=N>. See |autocmd-buflocal|. | |
| 176 | |
| 500 | 177 *:autocmd-verbose* |
| 178 When 'verbose' is non-zero, listing an autocommand will also display where it | |
| 179 was last defined. Example: > | |
| 180 | |
| 181 :verbose autocmd BufEnter | |
| 182 FileExplorer BufEnter | |
| 856 | 183 * call s:LocalBrowse(expand("<amatch>")) |
| 500 | 184 Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim-7.0/plugin/NetrwPlugin.vim |
| 185 < | |
| 186 See |:verbose-cmd| for more information. | |
| 187 | |
| 7 | 188 ============================================================================== |
| 189 5. Events *autocmd-events* *E215* *E216* | |
| 190 | |
| 579 | 191 You can specify a comma-separated list of event names. No white space can be |
| 192 used in this list. The command applies to all the events in the list. | |
| 193 | |
| 194 For READING FILES there are four kinds of events possible: | |
| 195 BufNewFile starting to edit a non-existent file | |
| 196 BufReadPre BufReadPost starting to edit an existing file | |
| 197 FilterReadPre FilterReadPost read the temp file with filter output | |
| 198 FileReadPre FileReadPost any other file read | |
| 199 Vim uses only one of these four kinds when reading a file. The "Pre" and | |
| 200 "Post" events are both triggered, before and after reading the file. | |
| 201 | |
| 202 Note that the autocommands for the *ReadPre events and all the Filter events | |
| 203 are not allowed to change the current buffer (you will get an error message if | |
| 204 this happens). This is to prevent the file to be read into the wrong buffer. | |
| 205 | |
| 206 Note that the 'modified' flag is reset AFTER executing the BufReadPost | |
| 207 and BufNewFile autocommands. But when the 'modified' option was set by the | |
| 208 autocommands, this doesn't happen. | |
| 209 | |
| 210 You can use the 'eventignore' option to ignore a number of events or all | |
| 211 events. | |
| 7 | 212 *autocommand-events* *{event}* |
| 213 Vim recognizes the following events. Vim ignores the case of event names | |
| 214 (e.g., you can use "BUFread" or "bufread" instead of "BufRead"). | |
| 215 | |

| 843 | 217 alphabetically with full explanations |autocmd-events-abc|. |

| 357 | |
| 358 The alphabetical list of autocommand events: *autocmd-events-abc* | |
| 359 | |
| 360 *BufCreate* *BufAdd* | |
| 361 BufAdd or BufCreate Just after creating a new buffer which is | |
| 362 added to the buffer list, or adding a buffer | |
| 363 to the buffer list. | |
| 364 Also used just after a buffer in the buffer | |
| 365 list has been renamed. | |
| 366 The BufCreate event is for historic reasons. | |
| 367 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
| 368 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
| 369 buffer being created "<afile>". | |
| 370 *BufDelete* | |
| 371 BufDelete Before deleting a buffer from the buffer list. | |
| 372 The BufUnload may be called first (if the | |
| 373 buffer was loaded). | |
| 374 Also used just before a buffer in the buffer | |
| 375 list is renamed. | |
| 376 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
| 377 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
| 1621 | 378 buffer being deleted "<afile>" and "<abuf>". |
| 1919 | 379 Don't change to another buffer, it will cause |
| 380 problems. | |
| 579 | 381 *BufEnter* |
| 382 BufEnter After entering a buffer. Useful for setting | |
| 383 options for a file type. Also executed when | |
| 384 starting to edit a buffer, after the | |
| 385 BufReadPost autocommands. | |
| 386 *BufFilePost* | |
| 387 BufFilePost After changing the name of the current buffer | |
| 388 with the ":file" or ":saveas" command. | |
| 625 | 389 *BufFilePre* |
| 579 | 390 BufFilePre Before changing the name of the current buffer |
| 391 with the ":file" or ":saveas" command. | |
| 392 *BufHidden* | |
| 393 BufHidden Just after a buffer has become hidden. That | |
| 394 is, when there are no longer windows that show | |
| 395 the buffer, but the buffer is not unloaded or | |
| 396 deleted. Not used for ":qa" or ":q" when | |
| 397 exiting Vim. | |
| 398 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
| 399 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
| 400 buffer being unloaded "<afile>". | |
| 401 *BufLeave* | |
| 402 BufLeave Before leaving to another buffer. Also when | |
| 403 leaving or closing the current window and the | |
| 404 new current window is not for the same buffer. | |
| 405 Not used for ":qa" or ":q" when exiting Vim. | |
| 406 *BufNew* | |
| 407 BufNew Just after creating a new buffer. Also used | |
| 408 just after a buffer has been renamed. When | |
| 409 the buffer is added to the buffer list BufAdd | |
| 410 will be triggered too. | |
| 411 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
| 412 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
| 413 buffer being created "<afile>". | |
| 7 | 414 *BufNewFile* |
| 415 BufNewFile When starting to edit a file that doesn't | |
| 416 exist. Can be used to read in a skeleton | |
| 417 file. | |
| 418 *BufRead* *BufReadPost* | |
| 419 BufRead or BufReadPost When starting to edit a new buffer, after | |
| 420 reading the file into the buffer, before | |
| 421 executing the modelines. See |BufWinEnter| | |
| 422 for when you need to do something after | |
| 423 processing the modelines. | |
| 424 This does NOT work for ":r file". Not used | |
| 425 when the file doesn't exist. Also used after | |
| 426 successfully recovering a file. | |
| 3682 | 427 Also triggered for the filetypedetect group |
| 428 when executing ":filetype detect" and when | |
| 429 writing an unnamed buffer in a way that the | |
| 430 buffer gets a name. | |
| 625 | 431 *BufReadCmd* |
| 7 | 432 BufReadCmd Before starting to edit a new buffer. Should |
| 433 read the file into the buffer. |Cmd-event| | |
| 625 | 434 *BufReadPre* *E200* *E201* |
| 579 | 435 BufReadPre When starting to edit a new buffer, before |
| 436 reading the file into the buffer. Not used | |
| 437 if the file doesn't exist. | |
| 438 *BufUnload* | |
| 439 BufUnload Before unloading a buffer. This is when the | |
| 440 text in the buffer is going to be freed. This | |
| 441 may be after a BufWritePost and before a | |
| 442 BufDelete. Also used for all buffers that are | |
| 443 loaded when Vim is going to exit. | |
| 444 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
| 445 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
| 446 buffer being unloaded "<afile>". | |

450 event is not triggered. |
| 579 | 451 *BufWinEnter* |
| 452 BufWinEnter After a buffer is displayed in a window. This | |
| 453 can be when the buffer is loaded (after | |
| 1621 | 454 processing the modelines) or when a hidden |
| 579 | 455 buffer is displayed in a window (and is no |
| 1621 | 456 longer hidden). |
| 457 Does not happen for |:split| without | |
| 458 arguments, since you keep editing the same | |
| 459 buffer, or ":split" with a file that's already | |
| 1668 | 460 open in a window, because it re-uses an |
| 461 existing buffer. But it does happen for a | |
| 462 ":split" with the name of the current buffer, | |
| 463 since it reloads that buffer. | |
| 579 | 464 *BufWinLeave* |
| 465 BufWinLeave Before a buffer is removed from a window. | |
| 466 Not when it's still visible in another window. | |
| 467 Also triggered when exiting. It's triggered | |
| 468 before BufUnload or BufHidden. | |
| 469 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
| 470 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
| 471 buffer being unloaded "<afile>". | |

473 event is not triggered. |
| 579 | 474 *BufWipeout* |
| 475 BufWipeout Before completely deleting a buffer. The | |
| 476 BufUnload and BufDelete events may be called | |
| 477 first (if the buffer was loaded and was in the | |
| 478 buffer list). Also used just before a buffer | |
| 479 is renamed (also when it's not in the buffer | |
| 480 list). | |
| 481 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
| 482 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
| 483 buffer being deleted "<afile>". | |
| 1919 | 484 Don't change to another buffer, it will cause |
| 485 problems. | |
| 7 | 486 *BufWrite* *BufWritePre* |
| 487 BufWrite or BufWritePre Before writing the whole buffer to a file. | |
| 488 *BufWriteCmd* | |
| 489 BufWriteCmd Before writing the whole buffer to a file. | |
| 490 Should do the writing of the file and reset | |
| 39 | 491 'modified' if successful, unless '+' is in |
| 492 'cpo' and writing to another file |cpo-+|. | |
| 493 The buffer contents should not be changed. | |
| 3082 | 494 When the command resets 'modified' the undo |
| 495 information is adjusted to mark older undo | |
| 496 states as 'modified', like |:write| does. | |
| 39 | 497 |Cmd-event| |
| 579 | 498 *BufWritePost* |
| 499 BufWritePost After writing the whole buffer to a file | |
| 500 (should undo the commands for BufWritePre). | |
| 6154 | 501 *CmdUndefined* |
| 502 CmdUndefined When a user command is used but it isn't | |
| 503 defined. Useful for defining a command only | |
| 504 when it's used. The pattern is matched | |
| 505 against the command name. Both <amatch> and | |
| 506 <afile> are set to the name of the command. | |
| 507 NOTE: Autocompletion won't work until the | |
| 508 command is defined. An alternative is to | |
| 509 always define the user command and have it | |
| 510 invoke an autoloaded function. See |autoload|. | |

533 |cmdwin-char| |
| 579 | 534 *CmdwinEnter* |
| 535 CmdwinEnter After entering the command-line window. | |
| 536 Useful for setting options specifically for | |
| 537 this special type of window. This is | |
| 538 triggered _instead_ of BufEnter and WinEnter. | |
| 539 <afile> is set to a single character, | |
| 540 indicating the type of command-line. | |
| 541 |cmdwin-char| | |
| 542 *CmdwinLeave* | |
| 543 CmdwinLeave Before leaving the command-line window. | |
| 544 Useful to clean up any global setting done | |
| 545 with CmdwinEnter. This is triggered _instead_ | |
| 546 of BufLeave and WinLeave. | |
| 547 <afile> is set to a single character, | |
| 548 indicating the type of command-line. | |
| 549 |cmdwin-char| | |
| 550 *ColorScheme* | |
| 551 ColorScheme After loading a color scheme. |:colorscheme| | |
| 5521 | 552 The pattern is matched against the |
| 553 colorscheme name. <afile> can be used for the | |
| 554 name of the actual file where this option was | |
| 555 set, and <amatch> for the new colorscheme | |
| 556 name. | |
| 557 | |
| 661 | 558 |
| 3682 | 559 *CompleteDone* |
| 560 CompleteDone After Insert mode completion is done. Either | |
| 561 when something was completed or abandoning | |
| 562 completion. |ins-completion| | |
| 6909 | 563 The |v:completed_item| variable contains |
| 564 information about the completed item. | |
| 3682 | 565 |
| 579 | 566 *CursorHold* |
| 567 CursorHold When the user doesn't press a key for the time | |
| 568 specified with 'updatetime'. Not re-triggered | |
| 569 until the user has pressed a key (i.e. doesn't | |
| 570 fire every 'updatetime' ms if you leave Vim to | |
| 571 make some coffee. :) See |CursorHold-example| | |
| 572 for previewing tags. | |
| 573 This event is only triggered in Normal mode. | |
| 1154 | 574 It is not triggered when waiting for a command |
| 575 argument to be typed, or a movement after an | |
| 576 operator. | |
| 610 | 577 While recording the CursorHold event is not |
| 578 triggered. |q| | |
| 6259 | 579 *<CursorHold>* |
| 580 Internally the autocommand is triggered by the | |
| 581 <CursorHold> key. In an expression mapping | |
| 582 |getchar()| may see this character. | |
| 583 | |
| 579 | 584 Note: Interactive commands cannot be used for |
| 585 this event. There is no hit-enter prompt, | |
| 586 the screen is updated directly (when needed). | |
| 587 Note: In the future there will probably be | |
| 588 another option to set the time. | |
| 589 Hint: to force an update of the status lines | |
| 590 use: > | |
| 591 :let &ro = &ro | |
| 592 < {only on Amiga, Unix, Win32, MSDOS and all GUI | |
| 593 versions} | |
| 661 | 594 *CursorHoldI* |
| 595 CursorHoldI Just like CursorHold, but in Insert mode. | |

| 631 This event is triggered when making the first | |
| 632 change in a buffer or the first change after | |
| 823 | 633 'readonly' was set, just before the change is |
| 634 applied to the text. | |
| 579 | 635 WARNING: If the autocommand moves the cursor |
| 636 the effect of the change is undefined. | |
| 819 | 637 *E788* |
| 638 It is not allowed to change to another buffer | |
| 639 here. You can reload the buffer but not edit | |
| 640 another one. | |

653 <afile> is set to the new directory name. |
| 7 | 654 *FileChangedShell* |
| 655 FileChangedShell When Vim notices that the modification time of | |
| 656 a file has changed since editing started. | |
| 657 Also when the file attributes of the file | |
| 5908 | 658 change or when the size of the file changes. |
| 659 |timestamp| | |
| 7 | 660 Mostly triggered after executing a shell |
| 661 command, but also with a |:checktime| command | |
| 11473 | 662 or when gvim regains input focus. |
| 7 | 663 This autocommand is triggered for each changed |
| 664 file. It is not used when 'autoread' is set | |
| 665 and the buffer was not changed. If a | |
| 666 FileChangedShell autocommand is present the | |
| 667 warning message and prompt is not given. | |
| 179 | 668 The |v:fcs_reason| variable is set to indicate |
| 669 what happened and |v:fcs_choice| can be used | |
| 670 to tell Vim what to do next. | |
| 7 | 671 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the |
| 672 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
| 11347 | 673 buffer that was changed, which is in "<afile>". |
| 7 | 674 NOTE: The commands must not change the current |
| 675 buffer, jump to another buffer or delete a | |

676 buffer. *E246* *E811* |
| 7 | 677 NOTE: This event never nests, to avoid an |
| 678 endless loop. This means that while executing | |
| 679 commands for the FileChangedShell event no | |
| 680 other FileChangedShell event will be | |
| 681 triggered. | |
| 766 | 682 *FileChangedShellPost* |
| 683 FileChangedShellPost After handling a file that was changed outside | |
| 684 of Vim. Can be used to update the statusline. | |
| 579 | 685 *FileEncoding* |
| 686 FileEncoding Obsolete. It still works and is equivalent | |
| 687 to |EncodingChanged|. | |
| 688 *FileReadCmd* | |
| 689 FileReadCmd Before reading a file with a ":read" command. | |
| 690 Should do the reading of the file. |Cmd-event| | |
| 691 *FileReadPost* | |
| 692 FileReadPost After reading a file with a ":read" command. | |
| 693 Note that Vim sets the '[ and '] marks to the | |
| 694 first and last line of the read. This can be | |
| 695 used to operate on the lines just read. | |
| 696 *FileReadPre* | |
| 697 FileReadPre Before reading a file with a ":read" command. | |
| 698 *FileType* | |
| 1154 | 699 FileType When the 'filetype' option has been set. The |
| 700 pattern is matched against the filetype. | |

704 another window or buffer is not allowed. |
| 579 | 705 See |filetypes|. |
| 706 *FileWriteCmd* | |
| 707 FileWriteCmd Before writing to a file, when not writing the | |
| 708 whole buffer. Should do the writing to the | |
| 709 file. Should not change the buffer. Use the | |
| 710 '[ and '] marks for the range of lines. | |
| 711 |Cmd-event| | |
| 712 *FileWritePost* | |

| 714 whole buffer. | |
| 715 *FileWritePre* | |
| 716 FileWritePre Before writing to a file, when not writing the | |
| 717 whole buffer. Use the '[ and '] marks for the | |
| 718 range of lines. | |
| 719 *FilterReadPost* | |
| 720 FilterReadPost After reading a file from a filter command. | |
| 721 Vim checks the pattern against the name of | |
| 722 the current buffer as with FilterReadPre. | |
| 723 Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. | |
| 724 *FilterReadPre* *E135* | |
| 725 FilterReadPre Before reading a file from a filter command. | |
| 726 Vim checks the pattern against the name of | |
| 727 the current buffer, not the name of the | |
| 728 temporary file that is the output of the | |
| 729 filter command. | |
| 730 Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. | |
| 731 *FilterWritePost* | |
| 732 FilterWritePost After writing a file for a filter command or | |
| 733 making a diff. | |
| 734 Vim checks the pattern against the name of | |

| 736 Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. | |
| 737 *FilterWritePre* | |
| 738 FilterWritePre Before writing a file for a filter command or | |
| 739 making a diff. | |
| 740 Vim checks the pattern against the name of | |
| 741 the current buffer, not the name of the | |
| 742 temporary file that is the output of the | |
| 743 filter command. | |
| 744 Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. | |
| 7 | 745 *FocusGained* |
| 746 FocusGained When Vim got input focus. Only for the GUI | |
| 747 version and a few console versions where this | |
| 748 can be detected. | |
| 749 *FocusLost* | |
| 750 FocusLost When Vim lost input focus. Only for the GUI | |
| 751 version and a few console versions where this | |
| 11 | 752 can be detected. May also happen when a |
| 753 dialog pops up. | |
| 7 | 754 *FuncUndefined* |
| 755 FuncUndefined When a user function is used but it isn't | |
| 756 defined. Useful for defining a function only | |
| 1154 | 757 when it's used. The pattern is matched |
| 758 against the function name. Both <amatch> and | |
| 759 <afile> are set to the name of the function. | |
| 6154 | 760 NOTE: When writing Vim scripts a better |
| 761 alternative is to use an autoloaded function. | |
| 161 | 762 See |autoload-functions|. |
| 579 | 763 *GUIEnter* |
| 764 GUIEnter After starting the GUI successfully, and after | |
| 765 opening the window. It is triggered before | |
| 766 VimEnter when using gvim. Can be used to | |
| 767 position the window from a .gvimrc file: > | |
| 768 :autocmd GUIEnter * winpos 100 50 | |
| 1154 | 769 < *GUIFailed* |
| 770 GUIFailed After starting the GUI failed. Vim may | |
| 771 continue to run in the terminal, if possible | |
| 772 (only on Unix and alikes, when connecting the | |
| 773 X server fails). You may want to quit Vim: > | |
| 774 :autocmd GUIFailed * qall | |
| 579 | 775 < *InsertChange* |
| 776 InsertChange When typing <Insert> while in Insert or | |
| 777 Replace mode. The |v:insertmode| variable | |
| 778 indicates the new mode. | |
| 779 Be careful not to move the cursor or do | |
| 780 anything else that the user does not expect. | |
| 2845 | 781 *InsertCharPre* |
| 782 InsertCharPre When a character is typed in Insert mode, | |
| 783 before inserting the char. | |
| 784 The |v:char| variable indicates the char typed | |
| 785 and can be changed during the event to insert | |
| 786 a different character. When |v:char| is set | |
| 787 to more than one character this text is | |
| 788 inserted literally. | |
| 789 It is not allowed to change the text |textlock|. | |
| 790 The event is not triggered when 'paste' is | |
| 13437 | 791 set. {only with the +eval feature} |
| 579 | 792 *InsertEnter* |
| 1154 | 793 InsertEnter Just before starting Insert mode. Also for |
| 794 Replace mode and Virtual Replace mode. The | |
| 579 | 795 |v:insertmode| variable indicates the mode. |
| 4448 | 796 Be careful not to do anything else that the |
| 797 user does not expect. | |
| 798 The cursor is restored afterwards. If you do | |
| 799 not want that set |v:char| to a non-empty | |
| 800 string. | |
| 579 | 801 *InsertLeave* |
| 802 InsertLeave When leaving Insert mode. Also when using | |
| 803 CTRL-O |i_CTRL-O|. But not for |i_CTRL-C|. | |
| 804 *MenuPopup* | |
| 805 MenuPopup Just before showing the popup menu (under the | |
| 806 right mouse button). Useful for adjusting the | |
| 807 menu for what is under the cursor or mouse | |
| 808 pointer. | |
| 809 The pattern is matched against a single | |
| 810 character representing the mode: | |
| 811 n Normal | |
| 812 v Visual | |
| 813 o Operator-pending | |
| 814 i Insert | |
| 843 | 815 c Command line |
| 6935 | 816 *OptionSet* |
| 817 OptionSet After setting an option. The pattern is | |
| 818 matched against the long option name. | |
| 819 The |v:option_old| variable indicates the | |
| 820 old option value, |v:option_new| variable | |
| 821 indicates the newly set value, the | |
| 822 |v:option_type| variable indicates whether | |
| 823 it's global or local scoped and |<amatch>| | |
| 824 indicates what option has been set. | |
| 825 | |
| 826 Is not triggered on startup and for the 'key' | |
| 827 option for obvious reasons. | |

| 3682 | 863 *QuitPre* |
| 4229 | 864 QuitPre When using `:quit`, `:wq` or `:qall`, before |
| 865 deciding whether it closes the current window | |
| 866 or quits Vim. Can be used to close any | |
| 867 non-essential window if the current window is | |
| 868 the last ordinary window. | |
| 579 | 869 *RemoteReply* |
| 870 RemoteReply When a reply from a Vim that functions as | |
| 1154 | 871 server was received |server2client()|. The |
| 872 pattern is matched against the {serverid}. | |
| 579 | 873 <amatch> is equal to the {serverid} from which |
| 874 the reply was sent, and <afile> is the actual | |
| 875 reply string. | |
| 876 Note that even if an autocommand is defined, | |
| 877 the reply should be read with |remote_read()| | |
| 878 to consume it. | |
| 879 *SessionLoadPost* | |
| 880 SessionLoadPost After loading the session file created using | |
| 881 the |:mksession| command. | |
| 724 | 882 *ShellCmdPost* |

| 886 *ShellFilterPost* | |
| 887 ShellFilterPost After executing a shell command with | |
| 888 ":{range}!cmd", ":w !cmd" or ":r !cmd". | |
| 889 Can be used to check for any changed files. | |

| 891 SourcePre Before sourcing a Vim script. |:source| | |
| 1061 | 892 <afile> is the name of the file being sourced. |
| 893 *SourceCmd* | |
| 894 SourceCmd When sourcing a Vim script. |:source| | |
| 895 <afile> is the name of the file being sourced. | |
| 896 The autocommand must source this file. | |
| 897 |Cmd-event| | |
| 650 | 898 *SpellFileMissing* |
| 899 SpellFileMissing When trying to load a spell checking file and | |
| 1061 | 900 it can't be found. The pattern is matched |
| 901 against the language. <amatch> is the | |
| 902 language, 'encoding' also matters. See | |
| 650 | 903 |spell-SpellFileMissing|. |
| 579 | 904 *StdinReadPost* |
| 905 StdinReadPost After reading from the stdin into the buffer, | |
| 906 before executing the modelines. Only used | |
| 907 when the "-" argument was used when Vim was | |
| 908 started |--|. | |
| 909 *StdinReadPre* | |
| 910 StdinReadPre Before reading from stdin into the buffer. | |
| 911 Only used when the "-" argument was used when | |
| 912 Vim was started |--|. | |
| 913 *SwapExists* | |
| 914 SwapExists Detected an existing swap file when starting | |
| 915 to edit a file. Only when it is possible to | |
| 916 select a way to handle the situation, when Vim | |
| 917 would ask the user what to do. | |
| 918 The |v:swapname| variable holds the name of | |
| 590 | 919 the swap file found, <afile> the file being |
| 920 edited. |v:swapcommand| may contain a command | |
| 921 to be executed in the opened file. | |
| 922 The commands should set the |v:swapchoice| | |
| 923 variable to a string with one character to | |
| 924 tell Vim what should be done next: | |
| 579 | 925 'o' open read-only |
| 926 'e' edit the file anyway | |
| 927 'r' recover | |
| 928 'd' delete the swap file | |
| 929 'q' quit, don't edit the file | |
| 930 'a' abort, like hitting CTRL-C | |
| 931 When set to an empty string the user will be | |
| 932 asked, as if there was no SwapExists autocmd. | |
| 1919 | 933 *E812* |
| 934 It is not allowed to change to another buffer, | |
| 935 change a buffer name or change directory | |
| 936 here. | |
| 13437 | 937 {only available with the +eval feature} |
| 579 | 938 *Syntax* |
| 1154 | 939 Syntax When the 'syntax' option has been set. The |
| 940 pattern is matched against the syntax name. | |
| 579 | 941 <afile> can be used for the name of the file |
| 942 where this option was set, and <amatch> for | |
| 943 the new value of 'syntax'. | |
| 944 See |:syn-on|. | |

958 first, TabEnter follows. |
| 579 | 959 *TermChanged* |
| 960 TermChanged After the value of 'term' has changed. Useful | |
| 961 for re-loading the syntax file to update the | |
| 962 colors, fonts and other terminal-dependent | |
| 963 settings. Executed for all loaded buffers. | |
| 964 *TermResponse* | |
| 965 TermResponse After the response to |t_RV| is received from | |
| 966 the terminal. The value of |v:termresponse| | |
| 967 can be used to do things depending on the | |
| 2788 | 968 terminal version. Note that this event may be |
| 969 triggered halfway executing another event, | |
| 970 especially if file I/O, a shell command or | |
| 971 anything else that takes time is involved. | |
| 4264 | 972 *TextChanged* |
| 973 TextChanged After a change was made to the text in the | |
| 974 current buffer in Normal mode. That is when | |
| 975 |b:changedtick| has changed. | |
| 976 Not triggered when there is typeahead or when | |
| 977 an operator is pending. | |
| 978 Careful: This is triggered very often, don't | |
| 979 do anything that the user does not expect or | |
| 980 that is slow. | |
| 981 *TextChangedI* | |
| 982 TextChangedI After a change was made to the text in the | |
| 983 current buffer in Insert mode. | |
| 984 Not triggered when the popup menu is visible. | |
| 985 Otherwise the same as TextChanged. | |

| 1075 6. Patterns *autocmd-patterns* *{pat}* | |
| 1076 | |
| 6741 | 1077 The {pat} argument can be a comma separated list. This works as if the |
| 1078 command was given with each pattern separately. Thus this command: > | |
| 1079 :autocmd BufRead *.txt,*.info set et | |
| 1080 Is equivalent to: > | |
| 1081 :autocmd BufRead *.txt set et | |
| 1082 :autocmd BufRead *.info set et | |
| 1083 | |
| 7 | 1084 The file pattern {pat} is tested for a match against the file name in one of |
| 1085 two ways: | |
| 1086 1. When there is no '/' in the pattern, Vim checks for a match against only | |
| 1087 the tail part of the file name (without its leading directory path). | |

| 1104 If you have a link from "/tmp/test.c" to "/home/nobody/vim/src/test.c", and | |
| 1105 you start editing "/tmp/test.c", this autocommand will match. | |
| 1106 | |
| 1107 Note: To match part of a path, but not from the root directory, use a '*' as | |
| 1108 the first character. Example: > | |
| 1109 :autocmd BufRead */doc/*.txt set tw=78 | |
| 1110 This autocommand will for example be executed for "/tmp/doc/xx.txt" and | |
| 1111 "/usr/home/piet/doc/yy.txt". The number of directories does not matter here. | |
| 1112 | |
| 1113 | |
| 1114 The file name that the pattern is matched against is after expanding | |
| 1621 | 1115 wildcards. Thus if you issue this command: > |
| 7 | 1116 :e $ROOTDIR/main.$EXT |
| 1117 The argument is first expanded to: > | |
| 1118 /usr/root/main.py | |
| 1119 Before it's matched with the pattern of the autocommand. Careful with this | |
| 1120 when using events like FileReadCmd, the value of <amatch> may not be what you | |
| 1121 expect. | |
| 1122 | |
| 1123 | |
| 1124 Environment variables can be used in a pattern: > | |
| 1125 :autocmd BufRead $VIMRUNTIME/doc/*.txt set expandtab | |
| 1126 And ~ can be used for the home directory (if $HOME is defined): > | |
| 1127 :autocmd BufWritePost ~/.vimrc so ~/.vimrc | |
| 1128 :autocmd BufRead ~archive/* set readonly | |
| 1129 The environment variable is expanded when the autocommand is defined, not when | |
| 1130 the autocommand is executed. This is different from the command! | |
| 1131 | |
| 1132 *file-pattern* | |
| 1133 The pattern is interpreted like mostly used in file names: | |
| 5294 | 1134 * matches any sequence of characters; Unusual: includes path |
| 5277 | 1135 separators |
| 7 | 1136 ? matches any single character |
| 1137 \? matches a '?' | |
| 1138 . matches a '.' | |
| 1139 ~ matches a '~' | |
| 1140 , separates patterns | |
| 1141 \, matches a ',' | |
| 1142 { } like \( \) in a |pattern| | |
| 1143 , inside { }: like \| in a |pattern| | |

| 40 | 1158 *autocmd-changes* |
| 7 | 1159 Matching with the pattern is done when an event is triggered. Changing the |
| 1160 buffer name in one of the autocommands, or even deleting the buffer, does not | |
| 1161 change which autocommands will be executed. Example: > | |
| 1162 | |
| 1163 au BufEnter *.foo bdel | |
| 1164 au BufEnter *.foo set modified | |
| 1165 | |
| 1166 This will delete the current buffer and then set 'modified' in what has become | |
| 1167 the current buffer instead. Vim doesn't take into account that "*.foo" | |
| 1168 doesn't match with that buffer name. It matches "*.foo" with the name of the | |
| 1169 buffer at the moment the event was triggered. | |
| 1170 | |
| 40 | 1171 However, buffer-local autocommands will not be executed for a buffer that has |
| 1172 been wiped out with |:bwipe|. After deleting the buffer with |:bdel| the | |
| 1173 buffer actually still exists (it becomes unlisted), thus the autocommands are | |
| 1174 still executed. | |
| 1175 | |
| 7 | 1176 ============================================================================== |
| 856 | 1177 7. Buffer-local autocommands *autocmd-buflocal* *autocmd-buffer-local* |
| 1178 *<buffer=N>* *<buffer=abuf>* *E680* | |
| 40 | 1179 |
| 1180 Buffer-local autocommands are attached to a specific buffer. They are useful | |
| 1181 if the buffer does not have a name and when the name does not match a specific | |
| 1182 pattern. But it also means they must be explicitly added to each buffer. | |
| 1183 | |
| 1184 Instead of a pattern buffer-local autocommands use one of these forms: | |
| 1185 <buffer> current buffer | |
| 1186 <buffer=99> buffer number 99 | |
| 1187 <buffer=abuf> using <abuf> (only when executing autocommands) | |
| 1188 |<abuf>| | |
| 1189 | |
| 1190 Examples: > | |
| 1191 :au CursorHold <buffer> echo 'hold' | |
| 1192 :au CursorHold <buffer=33> echo 'hold' | |

1193 :au BufNewFile * au CursorHold <buffer=abuf> echo 'hold' |
| 40 | 1194 |
| 1195 All the commands for autocommands also work with buffer-local autocommands, | |
| 1196 simply use the special string instead of the pattern. Examples: > | |
| 856 | 1197 :au! * <buffer> " remove buffer-local autocommands for |
| 1198 " current buffer | |
| 1199 :au! * <buffer=33> " remove buffer-local autocommands for | |
| 1200 " buffer #33 | |
| 1621 | 1201 :bufdo :au! CursorHold <buffer> " remove autocmd for given event for all |
| 856 | 1202 " buffers |
| 1203 :au * <buffer> " list buffer-local autocommands for | |
| 1204 " current buffer | |
| 40 | 1205 |
| 1206 Note that when an autocommand is defined for the current buffer, it is stored | |
| 1207 with the buffer number. Thus it uses the form "<buffer=12>", where 12 is the | |
| 1208 number of the current buffer. You will see this when listing autocommands, | |
| 1209 for example. | |
| 1210 | |
| 1211 To test for presence of buffer-local autocommands use the |exists()| function | |
| 1212 as follows: > | |
| 1213 :if exists("#CursorHold#<buffer=12>") | ... | endif | |
| 1214 :if exists("#CursorHold#<buffer>") | ... | endif " for current buffer | |
| 1215 | |
| 1216 When a buffer is wiped out its buffer-local autocommands are also gone, of | |
| 1217 course. Note that when deleting a buffer, e.g., with ":bdel", it is only | |
| 1218 unlisted, the autocommands are still present. In order to see the removal of | |
| 1219 buffer-local autocommands: > | |
| 1220 :set verbose=6 | |
| 1221 | |
| 1222 It is not possible to define buffer-local autocommands for a non-existent | |
| 1223 buffer. | |
| 1224 | |
| 1225 ============================================================================== | |
| 1226 8. Groups *autocmd-groups* | |
| 7 | 1227 |
| 1228 Autocommands can be put together in a group. This is useful for removing or | |
| 1229 executing a group of autocommands. For example, all the autocommands for | |
| 1230 syntax highlighting are put in the "highlight" group, to be able to execute | |
| 1231 ":doautoall highlight BufRead" when the GUI starts. | |
| 1232 | |
| 1233 When no specific group is selected, Vim uses the default group. The default | |
| 1234 group does not have a name. You cannot execute the autocommands from the | |
| 1235 default group separately; you can execute them only by executing autocommands | |
| 1236 for all groups. | |
| 1237 | |
| 1238 Normally, when executing autocommands automatically, Vim uses the autocommands | |
| 1239 for all groups. The group only matters when executing autocommands with | |
| 1240 ":doautocmd" or ":doautoall", or when defining or deleting autocommands. | |
| 1241 | |
| 1242 The group name can contain any characters except white space. The group name | |
| 1243 "end" is reserved (also in uppercase). | |
| 1244 | |
| 1245 The group name is case sensitive. Note that this is different from the event | |
| 1246 name! | |
| 1247 | |
| 1248 *:aug* *:augroup* | |
| 1249 :aug[roup] {name} Define the autocmd group name for the | |
| 1250 following ":autocmd" commands. The name "end" | |
| 1251 or "END" selects the default group. | |

1261 you will get error E936. |
| 7 | 1262 |
| 1263 To enter autocommands for a specific group, use this method: | |
| 1264 1. Select the group with ":augroup {name}". | |
| 1265 2. Delete any old autocommands with ":au!". | |
| 1266 3. Define the autocommands. | |
| 1267 4. Go back to the default group with "augroup END". | |
| 1268 | |
| 1269 Example: > | |
| 1270 :augroup uncompress | |
| 1271 : au! | |
| 1272 : au BufEnter *.gz %!gunzip | |
| 1273 :augroup END | |
| 1274 | |
| 1275 This prevents having the autocommands defined twice (e.g., after sourcing the | |
| 1276 .vimrc file again). | |
| 1277 | |
| 1278 ============================================================================== | |
| 40 | 1279 9. Executing autocommands *autocmd-execute* |
| 7 | 1280 |
| 1281 Vim can also execute Autocommands non-automatically. This is useful if you | |
| 1282 have changed autocommands, or when Vim has executed the wrong autocommands | |
| 1283 (e.g., the file pattern match was wrong). | |
| 1284 | |
| 1285 Note that the 'eventignore' option applies here too. Events listed in this | |
| 1286 option will not cause any commands to be executed. | |
| 1287 | |
| 1288 *:do* *:doau* *:doautocmd* *E217* | |
| 3356 | 1289 :do[autocmd] [<nomodeline>] [group] {event} [fname] |
| 7 | 1290 Apply the autocommands matching [fname] (default: |
| 1291 current file name) for {event} to the current buffer. | |
| 1292 You can use this when the current file name does not | |
| 1293 match the right pattern, after changing settings, or | |
| 1294 to execute autocommands for a certain event. | |
| 1295 It's possible to use this inside an autocommand too, | |
| 1296 so you can base the autocommands for one extension on | |
| 1297 another extension. Example: > | |
| 3224 | 1298 :au BufEnter *.cpp so ~/.vimrc_cpp |
| 1299 :au BufEnter *.cpp doau BufEnter x.c | |
| 7 | 1300 < Be careful to avoid endless loops. See |
| 1301 |autocmd-nested|. | |
| 1302 | |
| 1303 When the [group] argument is not given, Vim executes | |
| 1304 the autocommands for all groups. When the [group] | |
| 1305 argument is included, Vim executes only the matching | |
| 1306 autocommands for that group. Note: if you use an | |
| 1307 undefined group name, Vim gives you an error message. | |
| 3350 | 1308 *<nomodeline>* |
| 1309 After applying the autocommands the modelines are | |
| 1310 processed, so that their settings overrule the | |
| 1311 settings from autocommands, like what happens when | |
| 1312 editing a file. This is skipped when the <nomodeline> | |
| 1313 argument is present. You probably want to use | |
| 1314 <nomodeline> for events that are not used when loading | |
| 1315 a buffer, such as |User|. | |

1322 loaded buffer. Note that [fname] is used to select |
| 7 | 1323 the autocommands, not the buffers to which they are |
| 1324 applied. | |
| 1325 Careful: Don't use this for autocommands that delete a | |
| 1326 buffer, change to another buffer or change the | |
| 1327 contents of a buffer; the result is unpredictable. | |
| 1328 This command is intended for autocommands that set | |
| 1329 options, change highlighting, and things like that. | |
| 1330 | |
| 1331 ============================================================================== | |
| 40 | 1332 10. Using autocommands *autocmd-use* |
| 7 | 1333 |
| 1334 For WRITING FILES there are four possible sets of events. Vim uses only one | |
| 1335 of these sets for a write command: | |
| 1336 | |
| 1337 BufWriteCmd BufWritePre BufWritePost writing the whole buffer | |
| 1338 FilterWritePre FilterWritePost writing to filter temp file | |
| 1339 FileAppendCmd FileAppendPre FileAppendPost appending to a file | |
| 1340 FileWriteCmd FileWritePre FileWritePost any other file write | |
| 1341 | |
| 1342 When there is a matching "*Cmd" autocommand, it is assumed it will do the | |
| 1343 writing. No further writing is done and the other events are not triggered. | |
| 1344 |Cmd-event| | |
| 1345 | |
| 1346 Note that the *WritePost commands should undo any changes to the buffer that | |
| 1347 were caused by the *WritePre commands; otherwise, writing the file will have | |
| 1348 the side effect of changing the buffer. | |
| 1349 | |
| 1350 Before executing the autocommands, the buffer from which the lines are to be | |
| 1351 written temporarily becomes the current buffer. Unless the autocommands | |
| 1352 change the current buffer or delete the previously current buffer, the | |
| 1353 previously current buffer is made the current buffer again. | |
| 1354 | |
| 1355 The *WritePre and *AppendPre autocommands must not delete the buffer from | |
| 1356 which the lines are to be written. | |
| 1357 | |
| 1358 The '[ and '] marks have a special position: | |
| 1359 - Before the *ReadPre event the '[ mark is set to the line just above where | |
| 1360 the new lines will be inserted. | |
| 1361 - Before the *ReadPost event the '[ mark is set to the first line that was | |
| 1362 just read, the '] mark to the last line. | |
| 26 | 1363 - Before executing the *WriteCmd, *WritePre and *AppendPre autocommands the '[ |
| 1364 mark is set to the first line that will be written, the '] mark to the last | |
| 1365 line. | |
| 7 | 1366 Careful: '[ and '] change when using commands that change the buffer. |
| 1367 | |
| 1368 In commands which expect a file name, you can use "<afile>" for the file name | |
| 1369 that is being read |:<afile>| (you can also use "%" for the current file | |
| 1370 name). "<abuf>" can be used for the buffer number of the currently effective | |
| 1371 buffer. This also works for buffers that doesn't have a name. But it doesn't | |
| 1372 work for files without a buffer (e.g., with ":r file"). | |
| 1373 | |
| 1374 *gzip-example* | |
| 1375 Examples for reading and writing compressed files: > | |
| 1376 :augroup gzip | |
| 1377 : autocmd! | |
| 1378 : autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gz set bin | |
| 1379 : autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz '[,']!gunzip | |
| 1380 : autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz set nobin | |
| 1381 : autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz execute ":doautocmd BufReadPost " . expand("%:r") | |
| 1382 : autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gz !mv <afile> <afile>:r | |
| 1383 : autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gz !gzip <afile>:r | |
| 1384 | |
| 1385 : autocmd FileAppendPre *.gz !gunzip <afile> | |
| 1386 : autocmd FileAppendPre *.gz !mv <afile>:r <afile> | |
| 1387 : autocmd FileAppendPost *.gz !mv <afile> <afile>:r | |
| 1388 : autocmd FileAppendPost *.gz !gzip <afile>:r | |
| 1389 :augroup END | |
| 1390 | |
| 1391 The "gzip" group is used to be able to delete any existing autocommands with | |
| 1392 ":autocmd!", for when the file is sourced twice. | |
| 1393 | |
| 1394 ("<afile>:r" is the file name without the extension, see |:_%:|) | |
| 1395 | |
| 1396 The commands executed for the BufNewFile, BufRead/BufReadPost, BufWritePost, | |
| 1397 FileAppendPost and VimLeave events do not set or reset the changed flag of the | |
| 1398 buffer. When you decompress the buffer with the BufReadPost autocommands, you | |
| 1399 can still exit with ":q". When you use ":undo" in BufWritePost to undo the | |
| 1400 changes made by BufWritePre commands, you can still do ":q" (this also makes | |
| 1401 "ZZ" work). If you do want the buffer to be marked as modified, set the | |
| 1402 'modified' option. | |
| 1403 | |
| 1404 To execute Normal mode commands from an autocommand, use the ":normal" | |
| 1405 command. Use with care! If the Normal mode command is not finished, the user | |
| 1406 needs to type characters (e.g., after ":normal m" you need to type a mark | |
| 1407 name). | |
| 1408 | |
| 1409 If you want the buffer to be unmodified after changing it, reset the | |
| 1410 'modified' option. This makes it possible to exit the buffer with ":q" | |
| 1411 instead of ":q!". | |
| 1412 | |
| 1413 *autocmd-nested* *E218* | |
| 1414 By default, autocommands do not nest. If you use ":e" or ":w" in an | |
| 1415 autocommand, Vim does not execute the BufRead and BufWrite autocommands for | |
| 1416 those commands. If you do want this, use the "nested" flag for those commands | |
| 1417 in which you want nesting. For example: > | |
| 1418 :autocmd FileChangedShell *.c nested e! | |
| 1419 The nesting is limited to 10 levels to get out of recursive loops. | |
| 1420 | |
| 1421 It's possible to use the ":au" command in an autocommand. This can be a | |
| 1422 self-modifying command! This can be useful for an autocommand that should | |
| 1423 execute only once. | |
| 1424 | |
| 590 | 1425 If you want to skip autocommands for one command, use the |:noautocmd| command |
| 1426 modifier or the 'eventignore' option. | |
| 7 | 1427 |
| 1428 Note: When reading a file (with ":read file" or with a filter command) and the | |
| 1429 last line in the file does not have an <EOL>, Vim remembers this. At the next | |
| 1430 write (with ":write file" or with a filter command), if the same line is | |
| 1431 written again as the last line in a file AND 'binary' is set, Vim does not | |
| 1432 supply an <EOL>. This makes a filter command on the just read lines write the | |
| 1433 same file as was read, and makes a write command on just filtered lines write | |
| 1434 the same file as was read from the filter. For example, another way to write | |
| 1435 a compressed file: > | |
| 1436 | |
| 1437 :autocmd FileWritePre *.gz set bin|'[,']!gzip | |
| 1438 :autocmd FileWritePost *.gz undo|set nobin | |
| 1439 < | |
| 1440 *autocommand-pattern* | |
| 1441 You can specify multiple patterns, separated by commas. Here are some | |
| 1442 examples: > | |
| 1443 | |
| 1444 :autocmd BufRead * set tw=79 nocin ic infercase fo=2croq | |
| 1445 :autocmd BufRead .letter set tw=72 fo=2tcrq | |
| 1446 :autocmd BufEnter .letter set dict=/usr/lib/dict/words | |
| 1447 :autocmd BufLeave .letter set dict= | |
| 1448 :autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.c,*.h set tw=0 cin noic | |
| 1449 :autocmd BufEnter *.c,*.h abbr FOR for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i)<CR>{<CR>}<Esc>O | |
| 1450 :autocmd BufLeave *.c,*.h unabbr FOR | |
| 1451 | |
| 1452 For makefiles (makefile, Makefile, imakefile, makefile.unix, etc.): > | |
| 1453 | |
| 1454 :autocmd BufEnter ?akefile* set include=^s\=include | |
| 1455 :autocmd BufLeave ?akefile* set include& | |
| 1456 | |
| 1457 To always start editing C files at the first function: > | |
| 1458 | |
| 1459 :autocmd BufRead *.c,*.h 1;/^{ | |
| 1460 | |
| 1461 Without the "1;" above, the search would start from wherever the file was | |
| 1462 entered, rather than from the start of the file. | |
| 1463 | |
| 1464 *skeleton* *template* | |
| 1465 To read a skeleton (template) file when opening a new file: > | |
| 1466 | |
| 1467 :autocmd BufNewFile *.c 0r ~/vim/skeleton.c | |
| 1468 :autocmd BufNewFile *.h 0r ~/vim/skeleton.h | |
| 1469 :autocmd BufNewFile *.java 0r ~/vim/skeleton.java | |
| 1470 | |
| 1471 To insert the current date and time in a *.html file when writing it: > | |
| 1472 | |
| 1473 :autocmd BufWritePre,FileWritePre *.html ks|call LastMod()|'s | |
| 1474 :fun LastMod() | |
| 1475 : if line("$") > 20 | |
| 1476 : let l = 20 | |
| 1477 : else | |
| 1478 : let l = line("$") | |
| 1479 : endif | |
| 1480 : exe "1," . l . "g/Last modified: /s/Last modified: .*/Last modified: " . | |
| 1481 : \ strftime("%Y %b %d") | |
| 1482 :endfun | |
| 1483 | |
| 1484 You need to have a line "Last modified: <date time>" in the first 20 lines | |
| 1485 of the file for this to work. Vim replaces <date time> (and anything in the | |
| 1486 same line after it) with the current date and time. Explanation: | |
| 1487 ks mark current position with mark 's' | |
| 1488 call LastMod() call the LastMod() function to do the work | |
| 1489 's return the cursor to the old position | |
| 1490 The LastMod() function checks if the file is shorter than 20 lines, and then | |
| 1491 uses the ":g" command to find lines that contain "Last modified: ". For those | |
| 1492 lines the ":s" command is executed to replace the existing date with the | |
| 1493 current one. The ":execute" command is used to be able to use an expression | |
| 1494 for the ":g" and ":s" commands. The date is obtained with the strftime() | |
| 1495 function. You can change its argument to get another date string. | |
| 1496 | |
| 1497 When entering :autocmd on the command-line, completion of events and command | |
| 1498 names may be done (with <Tab>, CTRL-D, etc.) where appropriate. | |
| 1499 | |
| 1500 Vim executes all matching autocommands in the order that you specify them. | |
| 1501 It is recommended that your first autocommand be used for all files by using | |
| 1502 "*" as the file pattern. This means that you can define defaults you like | |
| 1503 here for any settings, and if there is another matching autocommand it will | |
| 1504 override these. But if there is no other matching autocommand, then at least | |
| 1505 your default settings are recovered (if entering this file from another for | |
| 1506 which autocommands did match). Note that "*" will also match files starting | |
| 1507 with ".", unlike Unix shells. | |
| 1508 | |
| 1509 *autocmd-searchpat* | |
| 1510 Autocommands do not change the current search patterns. Vim saves the current | |
| 1511 search patterns before executing autocommands then restores them after the | |
| 1512 autocommands finish. This means that autocommands do not affect the strings | |
| 1513 highlighted with the 'hlsearch' option. Within autocommands, you can still | |
| 1514 use search patterns normally, e.g., with the "n" command. | |
| 1515 If you want an autocommand to set the search pattern, such that it is used | |
| 1516 after the autocommand finishes, use the ":let @/ =" command. | |
| 1517 The search-highlighting cannot be switched off with ":nohlsearch" in an | |
| 1518 autocommand. Use the 'h' flag in the 'viminfo' option to disable search- | |
| 1519 highlighting when starting Vim. | |
| 1520 | |
| 1521 *Cmd-event* | |
| 1522 When using one of the "*Cmd" events, the matching autocommands are expected to | |
| 1061 | 1523 do the file reading, writing or sourcing. This can be used when working with |
| 1524 a special kind of file, for example on a remote system. | |
| 7 | 1525 CAREFUL: If you use these events in a wrong way, it may have the effect of |
| 1526 making it impossible to read or write the matching files! Make sure you test | |
| 1527 your autocommands properly. Best is to use a pattern that will never match a | |
| 1528 normal file name, for example "ftp://*". | |
| 1529 | |
| 1530 When defining a BufReadCmd it will be difficult for Vim to recover a crashed | |
| 1531 editing session. When recovering from the original file, Vim reads only those | |
| 1532 parts of a file that are not found in the swap file. Since that is not | |
| 1533 possible with a BufReadCmd, use the |:preserve| command to make sure the | |
| 1534 original file isn't needed for recovery. You might want to do this only when | |
| 1535 you expect the file to be modified. | |
| 1536 | |
| 1061 | 1537 For file read and write commands the |v:cmdarg| variable holds the "++enc=" |
| 1538 and "++ff=" argument that are effective. These should be used for the command | |
| 1539 that reads/writes the file. The |v:cmdbang| variable is one when "!" was | |
| 1540 used, zero otherwise. | |

| 1545 11. Disabling autocommands *autocmd-disable* | |
| 1546 | |
| 1547 To disable autocommands for some time use the 'eventignore' option. Note that | |
| 1548 this may cause unexpected behavior, make sure you restore 'eventignore' | |
| 1549 afterwards, using a |:try| block with |:finally|. | |
| 1550 | |
| 1551 *:noautocmd* *:noa* | |
| 1552 To disable autocommands for just one command use the ":noautocmd" command | |
| 1553 modifier. This will set 'eventignore' to "all" for the duration of the | |
| 1554 following command. Example: > | |
| 1555 | |
| 1556 :noautocmd w fname.gz | |
| 1557 | |
| 1558 This will write the file without triggering the autocommands defined by the | |
| 1559 gzip plugin. | |
