I still don't understand smart mode. It doesn't appear to do that. I might be sending in the previous cursor position wrong. Does it need changes to work?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, the idea of smart mode is that you don't have paren/indent mode, you just make changes.

https://shaunlebron.github.io/parinfer/demo if you haven't tried it.

Huh, yeah. That's what I want 🙂

Yeah, it wants "changes". Hrmm.... How to synthesize in Vim.

What is changes?

A list of column, line number, old text and new text that can be sent to parinfer.

So the whole of the old buffer, whole of the new?

And I guess column and line number are where the cursor is?

Only thing I can think of is to keep a copy of the buffer somewhere, and send on TextChanged send both to parinfer, and then replace the copy with the new text.

@eraserhd crazy idea, reach into undo

Woot! got it working!

Undo doesn't update for each character typed in insert mode.

There's an event called InsertCharPre that works for a lot of typing, though it doesn't work for things like backspace. For those, I store the old position and text after updating them in TextChangedI.

I added code the FFI wrapper to compute the minimal change (assuming there's only one changed block).

Smart mode rocks! @shaunlebron

this is amazing

I need to switch immediately.

It might still die every so often, but I think at least it will tell us why now. Also, there are definitely rough edges.

Like, I think smart mode wants to know whenever the cursor moves. I'll have to figure out how to do that.

No. Rust is stable and web-scale. It will never crash.

Ha! I mean, I think it is, but you know, computers.

E216: No such event: TextChangedP <buffer> :call <SID>process(g:parinfer_mode,1)
E216: No such event: TextChangedP <buffer> :call <SID>process(g:parinfer_mode,1)

I'll see about master

Ohhh. That was just added to Vim.

yep

I'll add a guard around it.

do you happen to know what patch it was?

Not really. I just vaguely remember the discussion.

make sure to guard on has('TextChangedP'), not on anything else

I'm gonna try the appimage dev build

pushed. (`exists('##TextChangedP')` actually)

weird 😮

Sorry, that's me being cautious against this not working in the future for neovim 😛

neovim doesn't have the patch on master so...

8.0.1494 is the patch

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/7996 it's on the way

Is it bad practice to include the dylib/so files in the repo?

I wouldn't be against doing what fzf does: fetch them from the github releases using curl in response to a command

@eraserhd this is amazing, very fast.

Hmm, >> doesn't indent the whole structure like I would expect

as in multiple lines?

I noticed it will leave a trailing paren if the cursor is to the left of the indent when using >>. That's something I'm going to try to fix eventually.

(let [x]
  {:foo 1
   :bar 2})

(let [x]
    {:foo 1}
   :bar 2)

It's a shame that auto-indent doesn't work with parinfer either. I know we've covered this in the past.

You expect it to indent the :bar line also, or you expect it to be indented inside the [?

@eraserhd the :bar being indent also is what I meant. But tabstops would be good too.

I think nvim-parinfer had a custom >> for that reason.

IIRC, it's custom >> just used the parinfer tab stops (and also ignored count, unfortunately).

I think >a) is better for indenting a form, personally.

Parinfer exposes all the tabstops I'd guess, based on the visuals on the codemirror editor.

Yeah, I just haven't figured out how to make Vim use them.

I did a quick google and didn't see that it existed. I suspect it will be a case of overriding > and >>

I looked into that, and... I'm not really sure how to override >. All the motions following happen in "operator pending" mode, so scripts can add new ones, but in my cursory search, it seems like I'd have to override each sequence individually.

I use plenty of them: 3>>, >i], 2<a), etc.

I'm actually wondering if, now that I have smart mode, I'll not need to use >> in the same way. Hmm.

Well, my plan today is to dogfood the heck out of this, so we'll see. 🙂

Pushed a fix for one glaring error. Need a test suite 😞

The motion happens in operator pending, sure. But you can add an operator?

Yes, with omap. I don't know the details, though.

er, I mean, I guess that's the motion, not the operator, even though it's called "operator pending"?

So, I tracked down the random mac os abort! I think I can fix.

There's 'opfunc' which is run by g@. This is how cp works in fireplace.

the custom >> in nvim-parinfer.js is pretty hacky

I couldn’t figure out how to make vim use them either - especially since << and >> might use different stops in parinfer

To my knowledge, there's no functionality for that :(

wonders if I always want paren mode while in Vim insert mode, and always want indent mode while using < and > operators.

@eraserhd smart mode!
