- Create .vim folder too if missing - Use filetype to categorize combo instead of file extension (this will reset some combo counters, such as python: py.cmb -> python.cmb) - Reload combo stats upon filetype change - Check if combo tracking is already loaded on script start (to prevent multiple instances when sourcing vimrc again) - More verbose g:combo (access numbers directly at g:combo_counter and g:best_combo) To fix any lost combo score, rename the file accordingly in ~/.vim/.combo |

vim-combo
why
Have you ever wanted to obsessively classify your performance against know people of yours with a not-really-so-relevant score in different programming languages? This plugin comes right to the rescue!
what
It keeps track of a "combo" counter that increases every time you press a key. Waiting for too long resets such counter. Deleting won't increase your combo but it will reset the timer. By default, the timer is 1 second. It may seem tight but longer timers lead to incredibly big combos too easily. Pasting counts as 1 (be it in Insert-Paste or directly from clipboard), movement does not affect the counter.
how
It uses a function called on buffer change (autocmd on TextChangedI) to increases the counter. Current time is checked every time against last recorded time.
vim-combo keeps track of your best combos for each filetype with files inside the hidden .combo folder (~/.vim/.combo). Every time vim loads, the best combo is loaded from file (one is kept for each filetype edited). Every time you get a new best score, the value on file is replaced.
powermode for vim?
vim-combo is inspired by the power-mode many more graphical editors have. While all the particles and text shaking is nice, the thing I really wanted was to keep track of my typing combos.
There already are few plugins which provide particles (vim-particle, vim-power-mode) but they require gui and some fiddling. vim-combo can run on any system since it's only vim script!
quickstart
If you just load this with a plugin manager, your combo will be tracked but not displayed anywhere. Current combo string is kept in g:combo, you can place it anywhere you'd like. If you don't have specific statusbar edits, you can add
set statusline=%{g:combo}
in your .vimrc.
configuring
- You can change the combo timeout by overriding
g:timeoutin your.vimrc. Defaults to 1. - You can access the whole combo string in
g:combo. You can find current score ing:combo_counterand best score for file ing:combo_best. - You can bind function
Cheated()to a key. If you by accident register an unfair value, you can call it to revert.
is this fast?
vim-combo should be pretty fast. It runs a lot but does very little (time difference, counter). If you have any issue contact me!
