- SNiFF+ and Vim *sniff*
-
- 1. Introduction |sniff-intro|
- 2. Commands |sniff-commands|
- 3. Compiling Vim with SNiFF+ interface |sniff-compiling|
-
- {Vi does not have any of these commands} *E275* *E274* *E276* *E278* *E279*
-
- The SNiFF+ interface only works, when Vim was compiled with the |+sniff|
- feature.
-
- ==============================================================================
- 1. Introduction *sniff-intro*
-
- The following features for the use with SNiFF+ are available:
-
- * Vim can be used for all editing requests
- * SNiFF+ recognizes and updates all browsers when a file is saved in Vim
- * SNiFF+ commands can be issued directly from Vim
-
- How to use Vim with SNiFF+
- 1. Make sure SNiFF+ is running.
- 2. In the Editor view of the Preferences dialog set the Field named
- 'External Editor' to 'Emacs/Vim'.
- 4. Start Vim
- 5. Connect to SNiFF+ (:sniff connect)
-
- Once a connection is established, SNiFF+ uses Vim for all requests to show or
- edit source code. On the other hand, you can send queries to SNiFF+ with the
- :sniff command.
-
- ==============================================================================
- 2. Commands *sniff-commands*
-
- *:sniff* *:sni*
- :sni[ff] request [symbol] Send request to sniff with optional symbol.
- {not in Vi}
- :sni[ff] Display all possible requests and the connection
- status
-
- Most requests require a symbol (identifier) as parameter. If it is omitted,
- Vim will use the current word under the cursor.
- The available requests are listed below:
-
- request mapping description
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Preferences

-
- The mappings are defined in a file 'sniff.vim', which is part of every SNiFF+
- product ($SNIFF_DIR/config/sniff.vim). This file is sourced whenever Vim
- connects to SNiFF+.
-
- ==============================================================================
- 3. Compiling Vim with SNiFF+ interface *sniff-compiling*
-
- To compile Vim with SNiFF+ support, you need two source files of the extra
- archive: if_sniff.c and if_sniff.h.
- On Unix: Edit the Makefile and uncomment the line "--enable-sniff". Or run
- configure manually with this argument.
- On NT: Specify SNIFF=yes with your make command.
