DCD/editors/vim

This plugin is deprecated in favor of the Dutyl plugin, that can set the import paths from other sources.

---

A plugin for using DCD with vim.

Tested on Linux (and a bit on Windows)

Installation

Vundle

1. Add Bundle "Hackerpilot/DCD", {'rtp': 'editors/vim'} to your vimrc.
2. :BundleInstall

Manual

Put the autoload and ftplugin folders in your vim runtime path.

Configuration

Compile DCD and put both dcd-client and dcd-server in your path, or set the global variable g:dcd\_path to where you put DCD.

You can set g:dcd\_importPath to an import path(or list of import paths) to use when starting the server. You should do so for Phobos and DRuntime - since DCD does not add them for you. On Linux it should be:

let g:dcd_importPath=['/usr/include/d','/usr/include/d/druntime/import']

On Windows you need to locate the root of your dmd installation (typically C:\D). Phobos and DRuntime can be found within under dmd2\src\phobos and dmd2\src\druntime\import, respectively. Example:

let g:dcd_importPath=['C:\D\dmd2\src\phobos','C:\D\dmd2\src\druntime\import']

Import paths are globbed with Vim's globbing function.

Be sure that the following option is set in your .vimrc:

set omnifunc=syntaxComplete#complete

If you do not do this, omni-complete will not know to use DCD.

Usage

When the filetype is D, use the DCDstartServer command to start the server and the DCDstopServer command to stop the server. DCDstartServer can receive import path(s) as arguments.

Use the DCDaddPath command to add a import path(s) to the server. Make sure you escape spaces! Import paths are globbed with Vim's globbing function.

Use the DCD command to send arbitary commands to the server via the client. The syntax is the same as with dcd-client, so you can use it without arguments to print the help message.

Use DCDclearCache to clear the DCD server cache.

When the server is running, use CTRL+x CTRL+o in a D buffer to use DCD completion.

When the server is running, use the DCDdoc to print the doc-string of symbol under the cursor.

When the server is running, use the DCDsymbolLocation to print jump to the declaration of the symbol under the cursor.

Configuration

If you want to never add the closing paren in calltips completions, add this to you vimrc:

let g:dcd_neverAddClosingParen=1
