Change Cursor to another window on BufWritePost in Vim
I have a function that whenever it is called it splits the window and displays some information, placing the cursor in this new window.
So far so good.
But I am implementing an autocommand
that will trigger the same function, and everything works great except that the cursor never changes to the opened window like when it is not running开发者_如何学Go with the autocommand.
The line that triggers this looks like:
autocmd! BufWritePost *.py call MyFunction()
Like I said, it works great when you call manually :call MyFunction()
but not with the autocommand.
I think Bram mentioned that autocommands are really not meant to split windows or even move the cursor.
Is there any way around this or am I doing something wrong?
Going by what ZyX said in the comments to original question, it sounds like this would work:
function MyFunction()
[ have all commands you currently have]
[ . . . ]
" then as last line include call to feedkeys()
" this will stuff keystrokes into key buffer
" and get executed after MyFunction() ends
" remember that location will always be in
" original window, i.e, window that vim
" was in when autocommand was triggered
" so if new window is below original
" window you could use this:
" feedkeys call below edited to reflect ZyX's
" improvement of \<C-\>\<C-n> to guarantee
" we're in Normal mode before using window
" movement key combo
call feedkeys("\<C-\>\<C-n>\<c-w>j", 'n')
endfunction
