Import vim9 script as that and map that.func fails

[N V]

Hi,

Would import vim9 script as that. It seems to work when I directly call that.foobar.

But how to map the same call in a nnoremapping ?

Thank you

NV

# Imported Functions {{{
import './vimfiles/autoload/nvhelper.vim' as that
nnoremap n n:call that.HLNext(80)<CR>
nnoremap N N:call that.HLNext(80)<CR>

[N V]

# Imported Functions {{{
import autoload 'nvhelper.vim' as that                     SUCEED
call that.HLNext(80)                                                    SUCEED
map foo :call that.HLNext(80)<CR>                          FAILS
var FooFunc = that.HLNext
map foo :call FooFunc(80)<CR>                                 FAILS

[N V]

import autoload 'nvhelper.vim' as that

# nnoremap <F12> <ScriptCmd> that.HLNext(80)<CR>          # SUCCESS
nnoremap <silent> n n:<ScriptCmd> that.HLNext(80)<CR>     # FAILS
nnoremap <silent> N n:<ScriptCmd> that.HLNext(80)<CR>

Use ":help import-legacy" and then go up a few lines.

Import is now successfull, what is now wrong is overloading mapping as intended by D.Conway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHm36-na4-4#t6m36s

as this :

# Imported Functions {{{
import autoload 'nvhelper.vim' as that

# nnoremap <F12> <ScriptCmd> that.HLNext(80)<CR>          # CALL SUCCESS
nnoremap <silent> n n:<ScriptCmd> that.HLNext(80)<CR>       # FAILS GOTO NEXT
nnoremap <silent> N N:<ScriptCmd> that.HLNext(80)<CR>

It seems to goto one time to item searched but don't do next jump.

Thank you Bram, 

• I added <ScriptCmd> as described.
• Can you just look at this gif that shows that I have to source $MYVIMRC to take account an import vim9script, then the function that blink the searched work is working.

> nnoremap <silent> n n<ScriptCmd>that.HLNext(80)<CR>

remove <silent> to see messages, also `:` is not needed.

Also in the gif you are importing with the full path, not sure if it matters.

Thank you Maxim, this is what i've done yesterday.

But it does not solve two problems :

1. first when I open $MYVIMRC and search for a word as 'import' it does not call imported that.HLNExt func, I HAVE TO SOURCE $MYVIMRC ANOTEHR TIME
2. then, when I search forward for import it blinks the word occurence searched where cursor is on, then searching backwards with N it seems to work until I attempt to search forward one more time and the blinking feature does not appear anymore.

You can see it :  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q0hn3h4u05jpClaiAC_kn8DMnYrRymE9/view?usp=sharing

[Maxim Kim]

Why don't you use `import autoload 'nv-helper.vim' as that` ?

PS, have you ever considered :h hl-CurSearch instead?

It doesn't blink but you can set up a different color for a current search under cursor

Also please note that space between n and <scriptcmd> might be something you don't want.

Basically your n mapping does `n` then `<space>` (which is cursor right) and then your scriptcmd...

• Because it fails, with or without 'as that'.

• the other point : damian conway used matchadd and with this point of implementation, it did not blink too, it simulates blinking feature with same idea you provide.

# https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHm36-na4-4#t6m36s
export def HLNext(blinktime: number): number

  echomsg 'HLNext called.'

  highlight BlackOnBlack guibg=black guifg=#3c4c55 ctermbg=black ctermfg=black

  var [bufnum: number, lnum: number, col: number, off: number] = getpos('.')
  var target_pat: string = '\k*\%#\k*'
  target_pat = '\%#' .. @/
  target_pat = '\k*\%#\k*'
  var blinks: number = 3

  var sleep_duration: number = ( blinktime / (2 * blinks) )->float2nr()
  var sleep_cmd: string = 'sleep ' .. sleep_duration .. 'm'


  for n in range(1, blinks)

    # echomsg n
    var hide: number = matchadd('BlackOnBlack', target_pat, 101)
    redraw
    exec sleep_cmd
    matchdelete(hide)
    redraw
    exec sleep_cmd

  endfor

  return 0

enddef

Oh ok thank you Maxim.it solved blinking in forward backward.

But I have always to source $MYVIMRC twice, when I am within it.

[N V]

ok it succeed, was the name of script.

[N V]

stay that, inside $MYVIMRC opened buffer,  I have to source it at less one time manually.

Maby side effect of these autocmd 

        # autowrite autosource
        autocmd! CursorHold    $MYVIMRC w! $MYVIMRC
        autocmd! BufWritePost  $MYVIMRC source $MYVIMRC
