slice.vim and localleader

[AdrienGiboire]

First of all, make sure you satisfy the requirements:

 Vim 7.3+ compiled with Python 2.5+ support.

To know the version of Vim: vim --version | grep VIM
You should have something like:

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Jun 27 2012 14:51:20)

To know if Vim is compiled with Python support: vim --version | grep python
You should have something like:

+path_extra +perl +persistent_undo +postscript +printer +profile +python
-python3 +quickfix +reltime +rightleft +ruby +scrollbind +signs +smartindent

To know which version of Python Vim use, in the opened Vim type:

:py import sys; print (sys.version, sys.executable)

You should get something like:

('2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jul 31 2011, 19:30:53) \n[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)]', '/usr/bin/python')

The main slice window displays properly. It's just that I can't execute any command. I think the reason is that the localleader key isn't recognised properly.

That's why I ask whether anybody used that.

[AdrienGiboire]

I'm not using Slice, so I can't really tell you about your issue. I think it could be from a remap conflict or something like that.

Try:

:verbose let maplocalleader

And tell what you got.

[AdrienGiboire]

So?

[sharnik]

I have some deeper investigation to do. Will report on progress here.

[AdrienGiboire]

Okay. Let me know what you'll got. I do not use Slice so if you have more information that might help me. At worst, I install Slice and see what I can do.

[sharnik]

When I do :verbose let maplocalleader I get:

maplocalleader \

So it seems that \ is indeed the localleader key.

What I think the problem might be, this key's not being recognized properly. When I push any command key (or a leader key), it gets displayed in the vim window like that: http://7tonlnu.pl/tmp/skitch/vimified-localleader-20120917-165414.jpg

However, that isn't the case with "". When I push (for example) "\d" I only see the "d" being displayed.

Does that make sense?

[AdrienGiboire]

Actually, Vim do not let \ displayed since Vim does not know any map association with these key.

For example, in your .vimrc file, add the following after the let maplocalleader instruction:

map <localleader>x :echo "Hello X"<cr>

Save, source/restart Vim. Try \x and you will see "Hello X". Actually, you will even be able to see that just typing \ will let \ displayed. That's because Vim know at least one mapping associated to the \ key.

I still didn't try to use slice.vim, so my hypothesis would be that something is wrong with slice.vim when mapping with localleader.

Try to dig into that way and let me know. If you still have nothing I will install slice.vim and try to see by myself.

Cheers!

[AdrienGiboire]

Up.

[AdrienGiboire]

Still not feedback? :(

Also, check your vim is compiled with --enable-pythoninterp since it seems Splice do not throw any warning about that but is required.

At last, check :echo &rtp display the /whatever/home/folder/.vim/bundle/Splice.

Hi,

Sorry for such a late response.

I've just did a clean reinstall of vimified and splice works perfectly well on my machine. Maybe the error earlier was about python support, I don't remember checking it earlier.

So, I'll close the issue as an error on my part. Thanks for all the assistance!
