vi tips for Nu
I'm collecting some tips for using the vim code editor with Nu.
- To reformat the contents of your buffer with nubile, use the following command:
:1,$ !nubile
- Syntax highlight is available with a few edits to the basic vim installation. On my Snow Leopard system, the relevant files are in /usr/share/vim/vim72. First, to associate Nu with the .nu file type, edit the filetype.vim file. I added the following two lines to mine:
" Nu
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.nu,*.nujson setf nu

To enable syntax highlighting, run:
:syntax enable
And you can selectively turn it off and on with the following:
:syntax on
:syntax off
