usage

Caution

codemp-nvim is not finished nor ready for early adopters, this is a demo

to interact with this plugin use the :MP command

command	description
:MP toggle	toggles the codemp sidebar
:MP connect [host] [username] [password]	to connect to server, user and pwd will be prompted if not given

once connected, more commands become available:

command	description
:MP disconnect	disconnects from server
:MP id	shows current client id
:MP start <workspace>	will create a new workspace with given name
:MP invite <user> [workspace]	invite given user to workspace
:MP available	list all workspaces available to join
:MP join <workspace>	will join requested workspace; starts processing cursors, users and filetree

after a workspace is joined, more commands become available:

command	description
:MP leave <workspace>	disconnect from a joined workspace
:MP attach <buffer>	will attach to requested buffer if it exists (opens a new local buffer and uses current window)
:MP detach <buffer>	detach from a buffer and stop receiving changes
:MP share	shares current file: creates a new buffer with local file's content, and attach to it
:MP sync	forces resynchronization of current buffer
:MP create <bufname>	will create a new empty buffer in workspace
:MP delete <bufname>	will delete a buffer from workspace

quick start

• first connect to server with :MP connect
• then join a workspace with :MP join <workspace>
• either attach directly to a buffer with :MP attach <buffer> or browse available buffers with :MP toggle

MP command autocompletes available options for current state, so cycle if you forget any name

configuration

it's possible to configure global vim.g.codemp_username and a vim.g.codemp_password which will be used when connecting

installation

Important

the release zip provided is a tech demo for linux, there are no official releases yet

• download the internal demo bundle from here
• place the whole codemp folder under your .config/nvim/lua directory
• add CODEMP = require('codemp') at the end of your init.lua

building

this plugin relies on the native codemp lua bindings: just compile the main codemp project with lua feature enabled and place a lua.so or lua.dll together with the plugin lua files while bundling

.config/
  |-nvim/
  :  |-lua/
  :  :  |-codemp/
  :  :  :  |- lua.(so|dll)
  :  :  :  |- init.lua
