LÖVE snippets for Vim (with snipMate plugin)

[Santos]

Here are some Lua/LÖVE snippets for use with the snipMate Vim plugin.

I suggest looking through the lua.snippets file to see what the snippet names are, edit them to your taste, and add your own snippets for code/libraries you use often.

That's not such a bad thing, I remember that tutorial being... uncomfortable.

Also, don't be afraid to add things to the vimrc file. For example...

Code: Select all

imap <F4> <ESC>:call Loveconsole()<CR><CR>
nmap <F4> :call Loveconsole()<CR><CR>
imap <F5> <ESC>:call Love()<CR><CR>
nmap <F5> :call Love()<CR><CR>

fun! Loveconsole()
    exec "w"
    exec "!start love --console \"%:p:h\""
endf

fun! Love()
    exec "w"
    exec "!start love \"%:p:h\""
endf

Vim can also be customized with color schemes and plugins, such as snipMate (screencast) for snippets, lua.vim for Lua related things including syntax error checking, NERD Tree (screencast) for filesystem navigation and Taglist for function navigation (you'll probably want to add mappings in your vimrc file for NERD Tree and Taglist).

You may also want to change the font to something nicer (perhaps Droid Sans Mono or Inconsolata?). To do so, create/edit .gvimrc (_gvimrc on Windows, in the same folder as _vimrc) and enter something like...

Code: Select all

set guifont=Droid_Sans_Mono:h20

Oh, and swapping the escape key with caps lock is something I'd highly recommend. AutoHotkey can do this on Windows.

Code: Select all

Capslock::Esc
Esc::Capslock

Please don't write more awesome vim stuff, or I will not be able to do anything else than watch/read all of it.

Well, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Useful as [expletive]!
