Sending visual selection to neovim terminal












0















I have adapted the following code which should send the visual selection to my Neovim terminal.



function! REPLSend(lines)
echo a:lines
" call jobsend(g:last_terminal_job_id, add(a:lines, ''))
" call chansend(g:last_terminal_job_id, add(a:lines, ''))
call chansend(g:last_terminal_job_id, a:lines)
endfunction

command! REPLSendLine call REPLSend([Get_visual_selection()])
" command! REPLSendLine call Get_visual_selection()

nnoremap <silent> <f6> :REPLSendLine<cr>

function! Get_visual_selection()
" Why is this not a built-in Vim script function?!
let [line_start, column_start] = getpos("'<")[1:2]
let [line_end, column_end] = getpos("'>")[1:2]
let lines = getline(line_start, line_end)
if len(lines) == 0
return ''
endif
let lines[-1] = lines[-1][: column_end - (&selection == 'inclusive' ? 1 : 2)]
let lines[0] = lines[0][column_start - 1:]
let lines = insert(lines, "%cpaste")
return join(lines, "n")
endfunction


When I invoke the code with f6, Get_visual_selection correctly gets the text selected but the REPLSend(lines) function does not appear to get called. What am I doing wrong?

  • Debug it step by step. First, try :call REPLSend([Get_visual_selection()]). If that works try :REPLSendLine.

  • Thanks. Both :call REPLSend([Get_visual_selection()]) and :REPLSendLine works. Seems to be a problem with nnoremap <silent> <f6> :REPLSendLine<cr>

  • Make it nnoremap <f6> :REPLSendLine<cr> (remove <silent>) to see the error.

  • @phd: removed <silent>. Checked messages but nothing there. How do I see the error?

  • I trimmed function REPLSend to just echo a:lines (I have vim, not neovim) and the code works for me, even after I pressed <F6>. I'm puzzled.
