25 1. Introduction *autocmd-intro* | |
26 | |
22 | 27 You can specify commands to be executed automatically when reading or writing |
28 a file, when entering or leaving a buffer or window, and when exiting Vim. | |
29 For example, you can create an autocommand to set the 'cindent' option for | |
30 files matching *.c. You can also use autocommands to implement advanced | |
7 | 31 features, such as editing compressed files (see |gzip-example|). The usual |
32 place to put autocommands is in your .vimrc or .exrc file. | |
33 | |
13231 | 34 *E203* *E204* *E143* *E855* *E937* *E952* |
7 | 35 WARNING: Using autocommands is very powerful, and may lead to unexpected side |
36 effects. Be careful not to destroy your text. | |
37 - It's a good idea to do some testing on an expendable copy of a file first. | |
38 For example: If you use autocommands to decompress a file when starting to | |
39 edit it, make sure that the autocommands for compressing when writing work | |
40 correctly. | |
41 - Be prepared for an error halfway through (e.g., disk full). Vim will mostly | |
42 be able to undo the changes to the buffer, but you may have to clean up the | |
43 changes to other files by hand (e.g., compress a file that has been | |
44 decompressed). | |
45 - If the BufRead* events allow you to edit a compressed file, the FileRead* | |
46 events should do the same (this makes recovery possible in some rare cases). | |
47 It's a good idea to use the same autocommands for the File* and Buf* events | |
48 when possible. | |
49 | |
50 ============================================================================== | |
51 2. Defining autocommands *autocmd-define* | |
52 | |
53 *:au* *:autocmd* | |
27162 | 54 :au[tocmd] [group] {event} {aupat} [++once] [++nested] {cmd} |
7 | 55 Add {cmd} to the list of commands that Vim will |
56 execute automatically on {event} for a file matching | |
27162 | 57 {aupat} |autocmd-patterns|. |

40 | 71 The special pattern <buffer> or <buffer=N> defines a buffer-local autocommand. |
72 See |autocmd-buflocal|. | |
73 | |
23164 | 74 If the `:autocmd` is in Vim9 script (a script that starts with `:vim9script` |
75 and in a `:def` function) then {cmd} will be executed as in Vim9 | |
22958 | 76 script. Thus this depends on where the autocmd is defined, not where it is |
77 triggered. | |
78 | |

7 | 98 Note that special characters (e.g., "%", "<cword>") in the ":autocmd" |
99 arguments are not expanded when the autocommand is defined. These will be | |
100 expanded when the Event is recognized, and the {cmd} is executed. The only | |
101 exception is that "<sfile>" is expanded when the autocmd is defined. Example: | |
102 > | |
103 :au BufNewFile,BufRead *.html so <sfile>:h/html.vim | |
104 | |
105 Here Vim expands <sfile> to the name of the file containing this line. | |

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

7 | 173 |
174 When the [group] argument is not given, Vim uses the current group (as defined | |
175 with ":augroup"); otherwise, Vim uses the group defined with [group]. | |
176 | |
177 ============================================================================== | |
178 4. Listing autocommands *autocmd-list* | |
179 | |
27162 | 180 :au[tocmd] [group] {event} {aupat} |
7 | 181 Show the autocommands associated with {event} and |
27162 | 182 {aupat}. |
7 | 183 |
27162 | 184 :au[tocmd] [group] * {aupat} |
185 Show the autocommands associated with {aupat} for all | |
7 | 186 events. |
187 | |
188 :au[tocmd] [group] {event} | |
189 Show all autocommands for {event}. | |
190 | |
191 :au[tocmd] [group] Show all autocommands. | |
192 | |
193 If you provide the [group] argument, Vim lists only the autocommands for | |
194 [group]; otherwise, Vim lists the autocommands for ALL groups. Note that this | |
195 argument behavior differs from that for defining and removing autocommands. | |
196 | |
40 | 197 In order to list buffer-local autocommands, use a pattern in the form <buffer> |
198 or <buffer=N>. See |autocmd-buflocal|. | |
199 | |
500 | 200 *:autocmd-verbose* |
201 When 'verbose' is non-zero, listing an autocommand will also display where it | |
202 was last defined. Example: > | |
203 | |
204 :verbose autocmd BufEnter | |
205 FileExplorer BufEnter | |
856 | 206 * call s:LocalBrowse(expand("<amatch>")) |
500 | 207 Last set from /usr/share/vim/vim-7.0/plugin/NetrwPlugin.vim |
208 < | |
209 See |:verbose-cmd| for more information. | |
210 | |
7 | 211 ============================================================================== |
212 5. Events *autocmd-events* *E215* *E216* | |
213 | |
579 | 214 You can specify a comma-separated list of event names. No white space can be |
215 used in this list. The command applies to all the events in the list. | |
216 | |
217 For READING FILES there are four kinds of events possible: | |
218 BufNewFile starting to edit a non-existent file | |
219 BufReadPre BufReadPost starting to edit an existing file | |
220 FilterReadPre FilterReadPost read the temp file with filter output | |
221 FileReadPre FileReadPost any other file read | |
222 Vim uses only one of these four kinds when reading a file. The "Pre" and | |
223 "Post" events are both triggered, before and after reading the file. | |
224 | |
225 Note that the autocommands for the *ReadPre events and all the Filter events | |
226 are not allowed to change the current buffer (you will get an error message if | |
227 this happens). This is to prevent the file to be read into the wrong buffer. | |
228 | |
229 Note that the 'modified' flag is reset AFTER executing the BufReadPost | |
230 and BufNewFile autocommands. But when the 'modified' option was set by the | |
231 autocommands, this doesn't happen. | |
232 | |
233 You can use the 'eventignore' option to ignore a number of events or all | |
234 events. | |
7 | 235 *autocommand-events* *{event}* |
236 Vim recognizes the following events. Vim ignores the case of event names | |
237 (e.g., you can use "BUFread" or "bufread" instead of "BufRead"). | |
238 | |
579 | 239 First an overview by function with a short explanation. Then the list |
843 | 240 alphabetically with full explanations |autocmd-events-abc|. |

246 |BufReadPre| starting to edit a new buffer, before reading the file | |

415 during startup. |
579 | 416 The BufCreate event is for historic reasons. |
417 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
418 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
419 buffer being created "<afile>". | |
420 *BufDelete* | |
421 BufDelete Before deleting a buffer from the buffer list. | |
422 The BufUnload may be called first (if the | |
423 buffer was loaded). | |
424 Also used just before a buffer in the buffer | |
425 list is renamed. | |
426 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
427 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
1621 | 428 buffer being deleted "<afile>" and "<abuf>". |
1919 | 429 Don't change to another buffer, it will cause |
430 problems. | |
579 | 431 *BufEnter* |
432 BufEnter After entering a buffer. Useful for setting | |
433 options for a file type. Also executed when | |
434 starting to edit a buffer, after the | |
435 BufReadPost autocommands. | |
436 *BufFilePost* | |
437 BufFilePost After changing the name of the current buffer | |
438 with the ":file" or ":saveas" command. | |
625 | 439 *BufFilePre* |
579 | 440 BufFilePre Before changing the name of the current buffer |
441 with the ":file" or ":saveas" command. | |
442 *BufHidden* | |
17261 | 443 BufHidden Just before a buffer becomes hidden. That is, |
444 when there are no longer windows that show | |
579 | 445 the buffer, but the buffer is not unloaded or |
446 deleted. Not used for ":qa" or ":q" when | |
447 exiting Vim. | |
448 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
449 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
450 buffer being unloaded "<afile>". | |
451 *BufLeave* | |
452 BufLeave Before leaving to another buffer. Also when | |
453 leaving or closing the current window and the | |
454 new current window is not for the same buffer. | |
455 Not used for ":qa" or ":q" when exiting Vim. | |
456 *BufNew* | |
457 BufNew Just after creating a new buffer. Also used | |
458 just after a buffer has been renamed. When | |
459 the buffer is added to the buffer list BufAdd | |
460 will be triggered too. | |
461 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
462 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
463 buffer being created "<afile>". | |
7 | 464 *BufNewFile* |
465 BufNewFile When starting to edit a file that doesn't | |
466 exist. Can be used to read in a skeleton | |
467 file. | |
468 *BufRead* *BufReadPost* | |
469 BufRead or BufReadPost When starting to edit a new buffer, after | |
470 reading the file into the buffer, before | |
471 executing the modelines. See |BufWinEnter| | |
472 for when you need to do something after | |
473 processing the modelines. | |
474 This does NOT work for ":r file". Not used | |
475 when the file doesn't exist. Also used after | |
476 successfully recovering a file. | |
3682 | 477 Also triggered for the filetypedetect group |
478 when executing ":filetype detect" and when | |
479 writing an unnamed buffer in a way that the | |
480 buffer gets a name. | |
625 | 481 *BufReadCmd* |
7 | 482 BufReadCmd Before starting to edit a new buffer. Should |
483 read the file into the buffer. |Cmd-event| | |
625 | 484 *BufReadPre* *E200* *E201* |
579 | 485 BufReadPre When starting to edit a new buffer, before |
486 reading the file into the buffer. Not used | |
487 if the file doesn't exist. | |
488 *BufUnload* | |
489 BufUnload Before unloading a buffer. This is when the | |
490 text in the buffer is going to be freed. This | |
491 may be after a BufWritePost and before a | |
492 BufDelete. Also used for all buffers that are | |
493 loaded when Vim is going to exit. | |
494 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
495 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
496 buffer being unloaded "<afile>". | |

500 event is not triggered. |
579 | 501 *BufWinEnter* |
502 BufWinEnter After a buffer is displayed in a window. This | |
503 can be when the buffer is loaded (after | |
1621 | 504 processing the modelines) or when a hidden |
579 | 505 buffer is displayed in a window (and is no |
1621 | 506 longer hidden). |
507 Does not happen for |:split| without | |
508 arguments, since you keep editing the same | |
509 buffer, or ":split" with a file that's already | |
1668 | 510 open in a window, because it re-uses an |
511 existing buffer. But it does happen for a | |
512 ":split" with the name of the current buffer, | |
513 since it reloads that buffer. | |

526 event is not triggered. |
579 | 527 *BufWipeout* |
528 BufWipeout Before completely deleting a buffer. The | |
529 BufUnload and BufDelete events may be called | |
530 first (if the buffer was loaded and was in the | |
531 buffer list). Also used just before a buffer | |
532 is renamed (also when it's not in the buffer | |
533 list). | |
534 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the | |
535 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
536 buffer being deleted "<afile>". | |
1919 | 537 Don't change to another buffer, it will cause |
538 problems. | |
7 | 539 *BufWrite* *BufWritePre* |
540 BufWrite or BufWritePre Before writing the whole buffer to a file. | |
541 *BufWriteCmd* | |
542 BufWriteCmd Before writing the whole buffer to a file. | |
543 Should do the writing of the file and reset | |
39 | 544 'modified' if successful, unless '+' is in |
545 'cpo' and writing to another file |cpo-+|. | |
546 The buffer contents should not be changed. | |
3082 | 547 When the command resets 'modified' the undo |
548 information is adjusted to mark older undo | |
549 states as 'modified', like |:write| does. | |
39 | 550 |Cmd-event| |
579 | 551 *BufWritePost* |
552 BufWritePost After writing the whole buffer to a file | |
553 (should undo the commands for BufWritePre). | |
6154 | 554 *CmdUndefined* |
555 CmdUndefined When a user command is used but it isn't | |
556 defined. Useful for defining a command only | |
557 when it's used. The pattern is matched | |
558 against the command name. Both <amatch> and | |
559 <afile> are set to the name of the command. | |
560 NOTE: Autocompletion won't work until the | |
561 command is defined. An alternative is to | |
562 always define the user command and have it | |
563 invoke an autoloaded function. See |autoload|. | |

659 fire every 'updatetime' ms if you leave Vim to | |
660 make some coffee. :) See |CursorHold-example| | |
661 for previewing tags. | |
662 This event is only triggered in Normal mode. | |
1154 | 663 It is not triggered when waiting for a command |
664 argument to be typed, or a movement after an | |
665 operator. | |
610 | 666 While recording the CursorHold event is not |
667 triggered. |q| | |
6259 | 668 *<CursorHold>* |
669 Internally the autocommand is triggered by the | |
670 <CursorHold> key. In an expression mapping | |
671 |getchar()| may see this character. | |
672 | |
579 | 673 Note: Interactive commands cannot be used for |
674 this event. There is no hit-enter prompt, | |
675 the screen is updated directly (when needed). | |
676 Note: In the future there will probably be | |
677 another option to set the time. | |
678 Hint: to force an update of the status lines | |
679 use: > | |

696 another window while remaining at the same | |
697 cursor position. | |
667 | 698 For an example see |match-parens|. |
16023 | 699 Note: This can not be skipped with |
700 `:noautocmd`. | |
4264 | 701 Careful: This is triggered very often, don't |
702 do anything that the user does not expect or | |
703 that is slow. | |

720 *FileChangedRO* | |
721 FileChangedRO Before making the first change to a read-only | |
722 file. Can be used to check-out the file from | |
723 a source control system. Not triggered when | |
724 the change was caused by an autocommand. | |
725 This event is triggered when making the first | |
726 change in a buffer or the first change after | |
823 | 727 'readonly' was set, just before the change is |
728 applied to the text. | |
579 | 729 WARNING: If the autocommand moves the cursor |
730 the effect of the change is undefined. | |
819 | 731 *E788* |
732 It is not allowed to change to another buffer | |
733 here. You can reload the buffer but not edit | |
734 another one. | |

764 cancelled if there is a modified buffer that | |
765 isn't automatically saved, use |VimLeavePre| | |
766 for really exiting. | |
7 | 767 *FileChangedShell* |
768 FileChangedShell When Vim notices that the modification time of | |
769 a file has changed since editing started. | |
770 Also when the file attributes of the file | |
5908 | 771 change or when the size of the file changes. |
772 |timestamp| | |
7 | 773 Mostly triggered after executing a shell |
774 command, but also with a |:checktime| command | |
11473 | 775 or when gvim regains input focus. |
7 | 776 This autocommand is triggered for each changed |
777 file. It is not used when 'autoread' is set | |
778 and the buffer was not changed. If a | |
779 FileChangedShell autocommand is present the | |
780 warning message and prompt is not given. | |
179 | 781 The |v:fcs_reason| variable is set to indicate |
782 what happened and |v:fcs_choice| can be used | |
783 to tell Vim what to do next. | |
7 | 784 NOTE: When this autocommand is executed, the |
785 current buffer "%" may be different from the | |
11347 | 786 buffer that was changed, which is in "<afile>". |
7 | 787 NOTE: The commands must not change the current |
788 buffer, jump to another buffer or delete a | |

789 buffer. *E246* *E811* |
7 | 790 NOTE: This event never nests, to avoid an |
791 endless loop. This means that while executing | |
792 commands for the FileChangedShell event no | |
793 other FileChangedShell event will be | |
794 triggered. | |
766 | 795 *FileChangedShellPost* |
796 FileChangedShellPost After handling a file that was changed outside | |
797 of Vim. Can be used to update the statusline. | |
579 | 798 *FileEncoding* |
799 FileEncoding Obsolete. It still works and is equivalent | |
800 to |EncodingChanged|. | |
801 *FileReadCmd* | |
802 FileReadCmd Before reading a file with a ":read" command. | |
803 Should do the reading of the file. |Cmd-event| | |
804 *FileReadPost* | |
805 FileReadPost After reading a file with a ":read" command. | |
806 Note that Vim sets the '[ and '] marks to the | |
807 first and last line of the read. This can be | |
808 used to operate on the lines just read. | |
809 *FileReadPre* | |
810 FileReadPre Before reading a file with a ":read" command. | |
811 *FileType* | |
1154 | 812 FileType When the 'filetype' option has been set. The |
813 pattern is matched against the filetype. | |
579 | 814 <afile> can be used for the name of the file |

579 | 818 See |filetypes|. |
819 *FileWriteCmd* | |
820 FileWriteCmd Before writing to a file, when not writing the | |
821 whole buffer. Should do the writing to the | |
822 file. Should not change the buffer. Use the | |
823 '[ and '] marks for the range of lines. | |
824 |Cmd-event| | |
825 *FileWritePost* | |
826 FileWritePost After writing to a file, when not writing the | |
827 whole buffer. | |
828 *FileWritePre* | |
829 FileWritePre Before writing to a file, when not writing the | |
830 whole buffer. Use the '[ and '] marks for the | |
831 range of lines. | |
832 *FilterReadPost* | |
833 FilterReadPost After reading a file from a filter command. | |
834 Vim checks the pattern against the name of | |
835 the current buffer as with FilterReadPre. | |
836 Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. | |
837 *FilterReadPre* *E135* | |
838 FilterReadPre Before reading a file from a filter command. | |
839 Vim checks the pattern against the name of | |
840 the current buffer, not the name of the | |
841 temporary file that is the output of the | |
842 filter command. | |
843 Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. | |
844 *FilterWritePost* | |

857 filter command. | |
858 Not triggered when 'shelltemp' is off. | |
7 | 859 *FocusGained* |
860 FocusGained When Vim got input focus. Only for the GUI | |
861 version and a few console versions where this | |
862 can be detected. | |
863 *FocusLost* | |
864 FocusLost When Vim lost input focus. Only for the GUI | |
865 version and a few console versions where this | |
11 | 866 can be detected. May also happen when a |
867 dialog pops up. | |
7 | 868 *FuncUndefined* |
869 FuncUndefined When a user function is used but it isn't | |
870 defined. Useful for defining a function only | |
1154 | 871 when it's used. The pattern is matched |
872 against the function name. Both <amatch> and | |
873 <afile> are set to the name of the function. | |
23305 | 874 Not triggered when compiling a |Vim9| |
875 function. | |
6154 | 876 NOTE: When writing Vim scripts a better |
877 alternative is to use an autoloaded function. | |
161 | 878 See |autoload-functions|. |
579 | 879 *GUIEnter* |
880 GUIEnter After starting the GUI successfully, and after | |
881 opening the window. It is triggered before | |
882 VimEnter when using gvim. Can be used to | |
883 position the window from a .gvimrc file: > | |
884 :autocmd GUIEnter * winpos 100 50 | |
1154 | 885 < *GUIFailed* |
886 GUIFailed After starting the GUI failed. Vim may | |
887 continue to run in the terminal, if possible | |
888 (only on Unix and alikes, when connecting the | |
889 X server fails). You may want to quit Vim: > | |
890 :autocmd GUIFailed * qall | |
579 | 891 < *InsertChange* |
892 InsertChange When typing <Insert> while in Insert or | |
893 Replace mode. The |v:insertmode| variable | |
894 indicates the new mode. | |
895 Be careful not to move the cursor or do | |
896 anything else that the user does not expect. | |
2845 | 897 *InsertCharPre* |
898 InsertCharPre When a character is typed in Insert mode, | |
899 before inserting the char. | |
900 The |v:char| variable indicates the char typed | |
901 and can be changed during the event to insert | |
902 a different character. When |v:char| is set | |
903 to more than one character this text is | |
904 inserted literally. | |
905 It is not allowed to change the text |textlock|. | |
906 The event is not triggered when 'paste' is | |
13437 | 907 set. {only with the +eval feature} |
579 | 908 *InsertEnter* |
1154 | 909 InsertEnter Just before starting Insert mode. Also for |
910 Replace mode and Virtual Replace mode. The | |
579 | 911 |v:insertmode| variable indicates the mode. |
4448 | 912 Be careful not to do anything else that the |
913 user does not expect. | |
914 The cursor is restored afterwards. If you do | |
915 not want that set |v:char| to a non-empty | |
916 string. | |

7 | 1320 ============================================================================== |
27162 | 1321 6. Patterns *autocmd-patterns* *{aupat}* |
7 | 1322 |
27162 | 1323 The {aupat} argument of `:autocmd` can be a comma separated list. This works as |
1324 if the command was given with each pattern separately. Thus this command: > | |
6741 | 1325 :autocmd BufRead *.txt,*.info set et |
1326 Is equivalent to: > | |
1327 :autocmd BufRead *.txt set et | |
1328 :autocmd BufRead *.info set et | |
1329 | |
27162 | 1330 The file pattern {aupat} is tested for a match against the file name in one of |
7 | 1331 two ways: |
1332 1. When there is no '/' in the pattern, Vim checks for a match against only | |
1333 the tail part of the file name (without its leading directory path). | |

|
1336 it to a full path and resolving symbolic links). |
7 | 1337 |
40 | 1338 The special pattern <buffer> or <buffer=N> is used for buffer-local |
1339 autocommands |autocmd-buflocal|. This pattern is not matched against the name | |
1340 of a buffer. | |
1341 | |
7 | 1342 Examples: > |
1343 :autocmd BufRead *.txt set et | |
1344 Set the 'et' option for all text files. > | |
1345 | |
1346 :autocmd BufRead /vim/src/*.c set cindent | |
1347 Set the 'cindent' option for C files in the /vim/src directory. > | |
1348 | |
1349 :autocmd BufRead /tmp/*.c set ts=5 | |
1350 If you have a link from "/tmp/test.c" to "/home/nobody/vim/src/test.c", and | |
1351 you start editing "/tmp/test.c", this autocommand will match. | |
1352 | |
1353 Note: To match part of a path, but not from the root directory, use a '*' as | |
1354 the first character. Example: > | |
1355 :autocmd BufRead */doc/*.txt set tw=78 | |
1356 This autocommand will for example be executed for "/tmp/doc/xx.txt" and | |
1357 "/usr/home/piet/doc/yy.txt". The number of directories does not matter here. | |
1358 | |
1359 | |
1360 The file name that the pattern is matched against is after expanding | |
1621 | 1361 wildcards. Thus if you issue this command: > |
7 | 1362 :e $ROOTDIR/main.$EXT |
1363 The argument is first expanded to: > | |
1364 /usr/root/main.py | |
1365 Before it's matched with the pattern of the autocommand. Careful with this | |
1366 when using events like FileReadCmd, the value of <amatch> may not be what you | |
1367 expect. | |
1368 | |
1369 | |
1370 Environment variables can be used in a pattern: > | |
1371 :autocmd BufRead $VIMRUNTIME/doc/*.txt set expandtab | |
1372 And ~ can be used for the home directory (if $HOME is defined): > | |
1373 :autocmd BufWritePost ~/.vimrc so ~/.vimrc | |
1374 :autocmd BufRead ~archive/* set readonly | |
1375 The environment variable is expanded when the autocommand is defined, not when | |
1376 the autocommand is executed. This is different from the command! | |
1377 | |
1378 *file-pattern* | |
1379 The pattern is interpreted like mostly used in file names: | |
5294 | 1380 * matches any sequence of characters; Unusual: includes path |
5277 | 1381 separators |
7 | 1382 ? matches any single character |
1383 \? matches a '?' | |
1384 . matches a '.' | |
1385 ~ matches a '~' | |
1386 , separates patterns | |
1387 \, matches a ',' | |
1388 { } like \( \) in a |pattern| | |
1389 , inside { }: like \| in a |pattern| | |

40 | 1404 *autocmd-changes* |
7 | 1405 Matching with the pattern is done when an event is triggered. Changing the |
1406 buffer name in one of the autocommands, or even deleting the buffer, does not | |
1407 change which autocommands will be executed. Example: > | |
1408 | |
1409 au BufEnter *.foo bdel | |
1410 au BufEnter *.foo set modified | |
1411 | |
1412 This will delete the current buffer and then set 'modified' in what has become | |
1413 the current buffer instead. Vim doesn't take into account that "*.foo" | |
1414 doesn't match with that buffer name. It matches "*.foo" with the name of the | |
1415 buffer at the moment the event was triggered. | |
1416 | |
40 | 1417 However, buffer-local autocommands will not be executed for a buffer that has |
1418 been wiped out with |:bwipe|. After deleting the buffer with |:bdel| the | |
1419 buffer actually still exists (it becomes unlisted), thus the autocommands are | |
1420 still executed. | |
1421 | |
7 | 1422 ============================================================================== |
856 | 1423 7. Buffer-local autocommands *autocmd-buflocal* *autocmd-buffer-local* |
1424 *<buffer=N>* *<buffer=abuf>* *E680* | |
40 | 1425 |
1426 Buffer-local autocommands are attached to a specific buffer. They are useful | |
1427 if the buffer does not have a name and when the name does not match a specific | |
1428 pattern. But it also means they must be explicitly added to each buffer. | |
1429 | |
1430 Instead of a pattern buffer-local autocommands use one of these forms: | |
1431 <buffer> current buffer | |
1432 <buffer=99> buffer number 99 | |
1433 <buffer=abuf> using <abuf> (only when executing autocommands) | |
1434 |<abuf>| | |
1435 | |
1436 Examples: > | |
1437 :au CursorHold <buffer> echo 'hold' | |
1438 :au CursorHold <buffer=33> echo 'hold' | |

|
1439 :au BufNewFile * au CursorHold <buffer=abuf> echo 'hold' |
40 | 1440 |
1441 All the commands for autocommands also work with buffer-local autocommands, | |
1442 simply use the special string instead of the pattern. Examples: > | |
856 | 1443 :au! * <buffer> " remove buffer-local autocommands for |
1444 " current buffer | |
1445 :au! * <buffer=33> " remove buffer-local autocommands for | |
1446 " buffer #33 | |
1621 | 1447 :bufdo :au! CursorHold <buffer> " remove autocmd for given event for all |
856 | 1448 " buffers |
1449 :au * <buffer> " list buffer-local autocommands for | |
1450 " current buffer | |
40 | 1451 |
1452 Note that when an autocommand is defined for the current buffer, it is stored | |
1453 with the buffer number. Thus it uses the form "<buffer=12>", where 12 is the | |
1454 number of the current buffer. You will see this when listing autocommands, | |
1455 for example. | |
1456 | |
1457 To test for presence of buffer-local autocommands use the |exists()| function | |
1458 as follows: > | |
1459 :if exists("#CursorHold#<buffer=12>") | ... | endif | |
1460 :if exists("#CursorHold#<buffer>") | ... | endif " for current buffer | |
1461 | |
1462 When a buffer is wiped out its buffer-local autocommands are also gone, of | |
1463 course. Note that when deleting a buffer, e.g., with ":bdel", it is only | |
1464 unlisted, the autocommands are still present. In order to see the removal of | |
1465 buffer-local autocommands: > | |
1466 :set verbose=6 | |
1467 | |
1468 It is not possible to define buffer-local autocommands for a non-existent | |
1469 buffer. | |
1470 | |
1471 ============================================================================== | |
1472 8. Groups *autocmd-groups* | |
7 | 1473 |
1474 Autocommands can be put together in a group. This is useful for removing or | |
1475 executing a group of autocommands. For example, all the autocommands for | |
1476 syntax highlighting are put in the "highlight" group, to be able to execute | |
1477 ":doautoall highlight BufRead" when the GUI starts. | |
1478 | |
1479 When no specific group is selected, Vim uses the default group. The default | |
1480 group does not have a name. You cannot execute the autocommands from the | |
1481 default group separately; you can execute them only by executing autocommands | |
1482 for all groups. | |
1483 | |
1484 Normally, when executing autocommands automatically, Vim uses the autocommands | |
1485 for all groups. The group only matters when executing autocommands with | |
1486 ":doautocmd" or ":doautoall", or when defining or deleting autocommands. | |
1487 | |
1488 The group name can contain any characters except white space. The group name | |
1489 "end" is reserved (also in uppercase). | |
1490 | |
1491 The group name is case sensitive. Note that this is different from the event | |
1492 name! | |
1493 | |
1494 *:aug* *:augroup* | |
1495 :aug[roup] {name} Define the autocmd group name for the | |
1496 following ":autocmd" commands. The name "end" | |
1497 or "END" selects the default group. | |

1505 this group! You will get a warning if doing |
21676 | 1506 it anyway. When the group is the current |
1507 group you will get error E936. | |
7 | 1508 |
1509 To enter autocommands for a specific group, use this method: | |
1510 1. Select the group with ":augroup {name}". | |
1511 2. Delete any old autocommands with ":au!". | |
1512 3. Define the autocommands. | |
1513 4. Go back to the default group with "augroup END". | |
1514 | |
1515 Example: > | |
1516 :augroup uncompress | |
1517 : au! | |
1518 : au BufEnter *.gz %!gunzip | |
1519 :augroup END | |
1520 | |
1521 This prevents having the autocommands defined twice (e.g., after sourcing the | |
1522 .vimrc file again). | |
1523 | |
25880 | 1524 *FileExplorer* |
1525 There is one group that is recognized by Vim: FileExplorer. If this group | |
1526 exists Vim assumes that editing a directory is possible and will trigger a | |
1527 plugin that lists the files in that directory. This is used by the |netrw| | |
1528 plugin. This allows you to do: > | |
1529 browse edit | |
1530 | |
7 | 1531 ============================================================================== |
40 | 1532 9. Executing autocommands *autocmd-execute* |
7 | 1533 |
1534 Vim can also execute Autocommands non-automatically. This is useful if you | |
1535 have changed autocommands, or when Vim has executed the wrong autocommands | |
1536 (e.g., the file pattern match was wrong). | |
1537 | |
1538 Note that the 'eventignore' option applies here too. Events listed in this | |
1539 option will not cause any commands to be executed. | |
1540 | |
16944 | 1541 *:do* *:doau* *:doaut* *:doautocmd* *E217* |
3356 | 1542 :do[autocmd] [<nomodeline>] [group] {event} [fname] |
7 | 1543 Apply the autocommands matching [fname] (default: |
1544 current file name) for {event} to the current buffer. | |
1545 You can use this when the current file name does not | |
1546 match the right pattern, after changing settings, or | |
1547 to execute autocommands for a certain event. | |
1548 It's possible to use this inside an autocommand too, | |
1549 so you can base the autocommands for one extension on | |
1550 another extension. Example: > | |
3224 | 1551 :au BufEnter *.cpp so ~/.vimrc_cpp |
1552 :au BufEnter *.cpp doau BufEnter x.c | |
7 | 1553 < Be careful to avoid endless loops. See |
1554 |autocmd-nested|. | |
1555 | |
1556 When the [group] argument is not given, Vim executes | |
1557 the autocommands for all groups. When the [group] | |
1558 argument is included, Vim executes only the matching | |
1559 autocommands for that group. Note: if you use an | |
1560 undefined group name, Vim gives you an error message. | |
3350 | 1561 *<nomodeline>* |
1562 After applying the autocommands the modelines are | |
1563 processed, so that their settings overrule the | |
1564 settings from autocommands, like what happens when | |
1565 editing a file. This is skipped when the <nomodeline> | |
1566 argument is present. You probably want to use | |
1567 <nomodeline> for events that are not used when loading | |
1568 a buffer, such as |User|. | |

1570 matching autocommands were executed. |

1572 *:doautoa* *:doautoall* | |
3342 | 1573 :doautoa[ll] [<nomodeline>] [group] {event} [fname] |
7 | 1574 Like ":doautocmd", but apply the autocommands to each |
24278 | 1575 loaded buffer. The current buffer is done last. |
1576 | |
1577 Note that [fname] is used to select the autocommands, | |
24569 | 1578 not the buffers to which they are applied. Example: > |
1579 augroup mine | |
1580 autocmd! | |
1581 autocmd FileType * echo expand('<amatch>') | |
1582 augroup END | |
1583 doautoall mine FileType Loaded-Buffer | |
1584 < Sourcing this script, you'll see as many | |
1585 "Loaded-Buffer" echoed as there are loaded buffers. | |
24278 | 1586 |
7 | 1587 Careful: Don't use this for autocommands that delete a |
1588 buffer, change to another buffer or change the | |
1589 contents of a buffer; the result is unpredictable. | |
1590 This command is intended for autocommands that set | |
1591 options, change highlighting, and things like that. | |
1592 | |
1593 ============================================================================== | |
40 | 1594 10. Using autocommands *autocmd-use* |
7 | 1595 |
1596 For WRITING FILES there are four possible sets of events. Vim uses only one | |
1597 of these sets for a write command: | |
1598 | |
1599 BufWriteCmd BufWritePre BufWritePost writing the whole buffer | |
1600 FilterWritePre FilterWritePost writing to filter temp file | |
1601 FileAppendCmd FileAppendPre FileAppendPost appending to a file | |
1602 FileWriteCmd FileWritePre FileWritePost any other file write | |
1603 | |
1604 When there is a matching "*Cmd" autocommand, it is assumed it will do the | |
1605 writing. No further writing is done and the other events are not triggered. | |
1606 |Cmd-event| | |
1607 | |
1608 Note that the *WritePost commands should undo any changes to the buffer that | |
1609 were caused by the *WritePre commands; otherwise, writing the file will have | |
1610 the side effect of changing the buffer. | |
1611 | |
1612 Before executing the autocommands, the buffer from which the lines are to be | |
1613 written temporarily becomes the current buffer. Unless the autocommands | |
1614 change the current buffer or delete the previously current buffer, the | |
1615 previously current buffer is made the current buffer again. | |
1616 | |
1617 The *WritePre and *AppendPre autocommands must not delete the buffer from | |
1618 which the lines are to be written. | |
1619 | |
1620 The '[ and '] marks have a special position: | |
1621 - Before the *ReadPre event the '[ mark is set to the line just above where | |
1622 the new lines will be inserted. | |
1623 - Before the *ReadPost event the '[ mark is set to the first line that was | |
1624 just read, the '] mark to the last line. | |
26 | 1625 - Before executing the *WriteCmd, *WritePre and *AppendPre autocommands the '[ |
1626 mark is set to the first line that will be written, the '] mark to the last | |
1627 line. | |
7 | 1628 Careful: '[ and '] change when using commands that change the buffer. |
1629 | |
1630 In commands which expect a file name, you can use "<afile>" for the file name | |
1631 that is being read |:<afile>| (you can also use "%" for the current file | |
1632 name). "<abuf>" can be used for the buffer number of the currently effective | |
14123 | 1633 buffer. This also works for buffers that don't have a name. But it doesn't |
7 | 1634 work for files without a buffer (e.g., with ":r file"). |
1635 | |
1636 *gzip-example* | |
1637 Examples for reading and writing compressed files: > | |
1638 :augroup gzip | |
1639 : autocmd! | |
1640 : autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gz set bin | |
1641 : autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz '[,']!gunzip | |
1642 : autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz set nobin | |
27903 | 1643 : autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz execute ":doautocmd BufReadPost " .. expand("%:r") |
7 | 1644 : autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gz !mv <afile> <afile>:r |
1645 : autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gz !gzip <afile>:r | |
1646 | |
1647 : autocmd FileAppendPre *.gz !gunzip <afile> | |
1648 : autocmd FileAppendPre *.gz !mv <afile>:r <afile> | |
1649 : autocmd FileAppendPost *.gz !mv <afile> <afile>:r | |
1650 : autocmd FileAppendPost *.gz !gzip <afile>:r | |
1651 :augroup END | |
1652 | |
1653 The "gzip" group is used to be able to delete any existing autocommands with | |
1654 ":autocmd!", for when the file is sourced twice. | |
1655 | |
1656 ("<afile>:r" is the file name without the extension, see |:_%:|) | |
1657 | |
1658 The commands executed for the BufNewFile, BufRead/BufReadPost, BufWritePost, | |
1659 FileAppendPost and VimLeave events do not set or reset the changed flag of the | |
1660 buffer. When you decompress the buffer with the BufReadPost autocommands, you | |
1661 can still exit with ":q". When you use ":undo" in BufWritePost to undo the | |
1662 changes made by BufWritePre commands, you can still do ":q" (this also makes | |
1663 "ZZ" work). If you do want the buffer to be marked as modified, set the | |
1664 'modified' option. | |
1665 | |
1666 To execute Normal mode commands from an autocommand, use the ":normal" | |
1667 command. Use with care! If the Normal mode command is not finished, the user | |
1668 needs to type characters (e.g., after ":normal m" you need to type a mark | |
1669 name). | |
1670 | |
1671 If you want the buffer to be unmodified after changing it, reset the | |
1672 'modified' option. This makes it possible to exit the buffer with ":q" | |
1673 instead of ":q!". | |
1674 | |
1675 *autocmd-nested* *E218* | |
16023 | 1676 By default, autocommands do not nest. For example, if you use ":e" or ":w" in |
1677 an autocommand, Vim does not execute the BufRead and BufWrite autocommands for | |
7 | 1678 those commands. If you do want this, use the "nested" flag for those commands |
1679 in which you want nesting. For example: > | |

patch 8.1.1113: making an autocommand trigger once is not so easy

|
1680 :autocmd FileChangedShell *.c ++nested e! |
7 | 1681 The nesting is limited to 10 levels to get out of recursive loops. |
1682 | |
1683 It's possible to use the ":au" command in an autocommand. This can be a | |
1684 self-modifying command! This can be useful for an autocommand that should | |
1685 execute only once. | |
1686 | |
590 | 1687 If you want to skip autocommands for one command, use the |:noautocmd| command |
1688 modifier or the 'eventignore' option. | |
7 | 1689 |
1690 Note: When reading a file (with ":read file" or with a filter command) and the | |
1691 last line in the file does not have an <EOL>, Vim remembers this. At the next | |
1692 write (with ":write file" or with a filter command), if the same line is | |
1693 written again as the last line in a file AND 'binary' is set, Vim does not | |
1694 supply an <EOL>. This makes a filter command on the just read lines write the | |
1695 same file as was read, and makes a write command on just filtered lines write | |
1696 the same file as was read from the filter. For example, another way to write | |
1697 a compressed file: > | |
1698 | |
1699 :autocmd FileWritePre *.gz set bin|'[,']!gzip | |
1700 :autocmd FileWritePost *.gz undo|set nobin | |
1701 < | |
1702 *autocommand-pattern* | |
1703 You can specify multiple patterns, separated by commas. Here are some | |
1704 examples: > | |
1705 | |
1706 :autocmd BufRead * set tw=79 nocin ic infercase fo=2croq | |
1707 :autocmd BufRead .letter set tw=72 fo=2tcrq | |
1708 :autocmd BufEnter .letter set dict=/usr/lib/dict/words | |
1709 :autocmd BufLeave .letter set dict= | |
1710 :autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.c,*.h set tw=0 cin noic | |
1711 :autocmd BufEnter *.c,*.h abbr FOR for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i)<CR>{<CR>}<Esc>O | |
1712 :autocmd BufLeave *.c,*.h unabbr FOR | |
1713 | |
1714 For makefiles (makefile, Makefile, imakefile, makefile.unix, etc.): > | |
1715 | |
1716 :autocmd BufEnter ?akefile* set include=^s\=include | |
1717 :autocmd BufLeave ?akefile* set include& | |
1718 | |
1719 To always start editing C files at the first function: > | |
1720 | |
1721 :autocmd BufRead *.c,*.h 1;/^{ | |
1722 | |
1723 Without the "1;" above, the search would start from wherever the file was | |
1724 entered, rather than from the start of the file. | |
1725 | |
1726 *skeleton* *template* | |
1727 To read a skeleton (template) file when opening a new file: > | |
1728 | |
1729 :autocmd BufNewFile *.c 0r ~/vim/skeleton.c | |
1730 :autocmd BufNewFile *.h 0r ~/vim/skeleton.h | |
1731 :autocmd BufNewFile *.java 0r ~/vim/skeleton.java | |
1732 | |
1733 To insert the current date and time in a *.html file when writing it: > | |
1734 | |
1735 :autocmd BufWritePre,FileWritePre *.html ks|call LastMod()|'s | |
1736 :fun LastMod() | |
1737 : if line("$") > 20 | |
1738 : let l = 20 | |
1739 : else | |
1740 : let l = line("$") | |
1741 : endif | |
27903 | 1742 : exe "1," .. l .. "g/Last modified: /s/Last modified: .*/Last modified: " .. |
7 | 1743 : \ strftime("%Y %b %d") |
1744 :endfun | |
1745 | |
1746 You need to have a line "Last modified: <date time>" in the first 20 lines | |
1747 of the file for this to work. Vim replaces <date time> (and anything in the | |
1748 same line after it) with the current date and time. Explanation: | |
1749 ks mark current position with mark 's' | |
1750 call LastMod() call the LastMod() function to do the work | |
1751 's return the cursor to the old position | |
1752 The LastMod() function checks if the file is shorter than 20 lines, and then | |
1753 uses the ":g" command to find lines that contain "Last modified: ". For those | |
1754 lines the ":s" command is executed to replace the existing date with the | |
1755 current one. The ":execute" command is used to be able to use an expression | |
1756 for the ":g" and ":s" commands. The date is obtained with the strftime() | |
1757 function. You can change its argument to get another date string. | |
1758 | |
1759 When entering :autocmd on the command-line, completion of events and command | |
1760 names may be done (with <Tab>, CTRL-D, etc.) where appropriate. | |
1761 | |
1762 Vim executes all matching autocommands in the order that you specify them. | |
1763 It is recommended that your first autocommand be used for all files by using | |
1764 "*" as the file pattern. This means that you can define defaults you like | |
1765 here for any settings, and if there is another matching autocommand it will | |
1766 override these. But if there is no other matching autocommand, then at least | |
1767 your default settings are recovered (if entering this file from another for | |
1768 which autocommands did match). Note that "*" will also match files starting | |
1769 with ".", unlike Unix shells. | |
1770 | |
1771 *autocmd-searchpat* | |
1772 Autocommands do not change the current search patterns. Vim saves the current | |
1773 search patterns before executing autocommands then restores them after the | |
1774 autocommands finish. This means that autocommands do not affect the strings | |
1775 highlighted with the 'hlsearch' option. Within autocommands, you can still | |
1776 use search patterns normally, e.g., with the "n" command. | |
1777 If you want an autocommand to set the search pattern, such that it is used | |
1778 after the autocommand finishes, use the ":let @/ =" command. | |
1779 The search-highlighting cannot be switched off with ":nohlsearch" in an | |
1780 autocommand. Use the 'h' flag in the 'viminfo' option to disable search- | |
1781 highlighting when starting Vim. | |
1782 | |
1783 *Cmd-event* | |
1784 When using one of the "*Cmd" events, the matching autocommands are expected to | |
1061 | 1785 do the file reading, writing or sourcing. This can be used when working with |
1786 a special kind of file, for example on a remote system. | |
7 | 1787 CAREFUL: If you use these events in a wrong way, it may have the effect of |
1788 making it impossible to read or write the matching files! Make sure you test | |
1789 your autocommands properly. Best is to use a pattern that will never match a | |
1790 normal file name, for example "ftp://*". | |
1791 | |
1792 When defining a BufReadCmd it will be difficult for Vim to recover a crashed | |
1793 editing session. When recovering from the original file, Vim reads only those | |
1794 parts of a file that are not found in the swap file. Since that is not | |
1795 possible with a BufReadCmd, use the |:preserve| command to make sure the | |
1796 original file isn't needed for recovery. You might want to do this only when | |
1797 you expect the file to be modified. | |
1798 | |
1061 | 1799 For file read and write commands the |v:cmdarg| variable holds the "++enc=" |
1800 and "++ff=" argument that are effective. These should be used for the command | |
1801 that reads/writes the file. The |v:cmdbang| variable is one when "!" was | |
1802 used, zero otherwise. | |

1807 11. Disabling autocommands *autocmd-disable* | |
1808 | |
1809 To disable autocommands for some time use the 'eventignore' option. Note that | |
1810 this may cause unexpected behavior, make sure you restore 'eventignore' | |
1811 afterwards, using a |:try| block with |:finally|. | |
1812 | |
1813 *:noautocmd* *:noa* | |
1814 To disable autocommands for just one command use the ":noautocmd" command | |
1815 modifier. This will set 'eventignore' to "all" for the duration of the | |
1816 following command. Example: > | |
1817 | |
1818 :noautocmd w fname.gz | |
1819 | |
1820 This will write the file without triggering the autocommands defined by the | |
1821 gzip plugin. | |
1822 | |
16023 | 1823 Note that some autocommands are not triggered right away, but only later. |
1824 This specifically applies to |CursorMoved| and |TextChanged|. | |
