A nice looking context menu is very useful when you have something to do with current word/line under cursor. And it can also remind you when you forget your keymaps:
Setup
With the help of the ui-extension pluginquickui, it can be simply defined like this:
Plug'skywind3000/vim-quickui'" define your context menu as a list of (text, command) pairsletg:context_menu_k=[ \["&Help Keyword\t\\ch",'echo expand("<cword>")'], \["&Signature\t\\cs",'echo 101'], \['-'], \["Find in &File\t\\cx",'exec "/" . expand("<cword>")'], \["Find in &Project\t\\cp",'exec "vimgrep " . expand("<cword>") . "*"'], \["Find in &Defintion\t\\cd",'YcmCompleter GotoDefinition'], \["Search &References\t\\cr",'YcmCompleter GoToReferences'], \['-'], \["&Documentation\t\\cm",'exec "PyDoc " . expand("<cword>")'], \]" map 'K' to display the context menunnoremap<silent>K:call quickui#tools#clever_context('k',g:context_menu_k,{})<cr>Then when you pressK, it will display around the cursor:
Context menu is a good place to organize your LSP commands.
Usage
- navigate the items by
j/kor arrow keys. - accept an item by
EnterorSpaceor mouse left-click. - press
ESCto quit. - Hot keys can be defined by a
&.
The border and color are also customizable, check the quickuidoc for more.
Plugin Dedicated Context
Context menu can also be used to enhance plugin experience, you can setup some buffer local keymap in the plugin buffer:
letg:context_menu_git=[ \["&Stage (add)\ts",'exec "normal s"'], \["&Unstage (reset)\tu",'exec "normal u"'], \["&Toggle stage/unstage\t-",'exec "normal -"'], \["Unstage &Everything\tU",'exec "normal U"'], \["D&iscard change\tX",'exec "normal X"'], \["--"], \["Inline &Diff\t=",'exec "normal ="'], \["Diff S&plit\tdd",'exec "normal dd"'], \["Diff &Horizontal\tdh",'exec "normal dh"'], \["Diff &Vertical\tdv",'exec "normal dv"'], \["--"], \["&Open File\t<CR>",'exec "normal \<cr>"'], \["Open in New Split\to",'exec "normal o"'], \["Open in New Vsplit\tgO",'exec "normal gO"'], \["Open in New Tab\tO",'exec "normal O"'], \["Open in &Preview\tp",'exec "normal p"'], \["--"], \["&Commit\tcc",'exec "normal cc"'], \]function!s:setup_fugitive() nnoremap<silent><buffer>K:call quickui#tools#clever_context('g',g:context_menu_git,{})<cr>endfuncaugroup MenuEventsau!auFileType fugitivecalls:setup_fugitive()augroup ENDWhen you are using fugitive, you can pressK to display a fugitive menu:
No need to remember these seldom used fugitive keymaps, justK is totally enough.
You can also setup a context menu fordefx.nvim:
This made defx more user-friendly.
