INTRODUCTION *cursorword-introduction*
|
||||
This *cursorword* plugin underlines the word under the cursor. That's it.
|
||||
|
||||
While we are coding, we always pay attention to the variable under the cursor.
|
||||
Where did we define the variable? In which statement do we use the variable?
|
||||
Searching the variable using |star| or |#| is a simple solution to highlight all
|
||||
the places the variable is used. However, it costs too much time to highlight
|
||||
a word, move around to check the places and clear the highlight. This plugin
|
||||
|cursorword| provides you the modest underlines for the variables under the
|
||||
cursor to let you know all the places the variable is used at a glance without
|
||||
stopping coding.
|
||||
|
||||
The brightest plugin (https://github.com/osyo-manga/vim-brightest) is a nice
|
||||
plugin to fulfill highlights of the word under the cursor. However, it uses
|
||||
too long codes and is too slow. I had been using the plugin for a while but I
|
||||
could not bear the slowness caused by brightest on the cursor motions. This is
|
||||
why I created |cursorword|. I think that a plugin which is running all the time
|
||||
should be coded with the performance efficiency in mind. When we publish a
|
||||
plugin which stays running in all buffers, we should be aware that it will use
|
||||
much resource of all the users.
|
||||
|
||||
The code of |cursorword| is very tiny. It's very tiny that |cursorword| runs ten
|
||||
times faster than brightest. Instead of its efficiency, |cursorword| is totally
|
||||
unconfigurable. But you will find this plugin just comfortable; the modest
|
||||
underlines are enough for us. A good configurable plugin would have many
|
||||
options that users can configure almost all the features. But be relaxed and
|
||||
imagine, do we need such a lot of options for a plugin to highlight the word
|
||||
under the cursor? Most people would never need such a lot of options. We
|
||||
should not implement features for a few power users at the sacrifice of the
|
||||
performance of the software. Keep your software small for the happiness of
|
||||
most users. Too much configurability makes your software dirty and causes
|
||||
unwanted slowness on many users. We have to rethink what good configurability
|
||||
is and for what kind of software such configurability is required.

OPTIONS *cursorword-options*
|
||||
|
||||
g:cursorword *g:cursorword*
|
||||
Set this variable to 0 to disable this plugin globally.
|
||||
|
||||
b:cursorword *b:cursorword*
|
||||
If you set this variable to 0, the plugin stops highlighting
|
||||
the word under the cursor in the buffer. This variable has
|
||||
priority over |g:cursorword|.
|
||||
|
||||
g:cursorword_highlight *g:cursorword_highlight*
|
||||
Set this variable to 0 to disable the default highlighting
|
||||
style. If you set this variable to 0, you need to define your
|
||||
own style for the CursorWord |highlight-groups|.
|
||||
|
||||
g:cursorword_delay *g:cursorword_delay*
|
||||
The delay duration in milliseconds for setting the word
|
||||
highlight after cursor motions. When the value is set to 0, the
|
||||
plugin highlights the word synchronously, but there is a
|
||||
performance sacrifice. The default value is 50.
