History.................................................|zip-history| ============================================================================== 2. Usage *zip-usage* *zip-manual* When one edits a *.zip file, this plugin will handle displaying a contents page. Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop the desired file, then hit the key. After editing, one may also write to the file. Currently, one may not make a new file in zip archives via the plugin. OPTIONS *g:zip_nomax* If this variable exists and is true, the file window will not be automatically maximized when opened. *g:zip_shq* Different operating systems may use one or more shells to execute commands. Zip will try to guess the correct quoting mechanism to allow spaces and whatnot in filenames; however, if it is incorrectly guessing the quote to use for your setup, you may use > g:zip_shq < which by default is a single quote under Unix (') and a double quote under Windows ("). If you'd rather have no quotes, simply set g:zip_shq to the empty string (let g:zip_shq= "") in your <.vimrc>. *g:zip_unzipcmd* Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "unzip". It's used during browsing. By default: > let g:zip_unzipcmd= "unzip" < *g:zip_zipcmd* Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "zip". It's used during the writing (updating) of a file already in a zip file; by default: > let g:zip_zipcmd= "zip" < PREVENTING LOADING~ If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine zipped files, you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent the zip plugin from loading: > let g:loaded_zipPlugin= 1 let g:loaded_zip = 1 < ============================================================================== 3. Additional Extensions *zip-extension* Apparently there are a number of archivers which generate zip files that don't use the .zip extension (.jar, .xpi, etc). To handle such files, place a line in your <.vimrc> file: > au BufReadCmd *.jar,*.xpi call zip#Browse(expand("")) < One can simply extend this line to accommodate additional extensions that should be treated as zip files. ============================================================================== 4. History *zip-history* {{{1 v25 Jun 27, 2011 * using keepj with unzip -Z (consistent with the -p variant) v24 Jun 21, 2010 * (Cédric Bosdonnat) unzip seems to need its filenames fnameescape'd as well as shellquote'd * (Motoya Kurotsu) inserted keepj before 0d to protect jump list v17 May 09, 2008 * arno caught a security bug v15 Sep 07, 2007 * &shq now used if not the empty string for g:zip_shq v14 May 07, 2007 * using b:zipfile instead of w:zipfile to avoid problem when editing alternate file to bring up a zipfile v10 May 02, 2006 * now using "redraw then echo" to show messages, instead of "echo and prompt user" * g:zip_shq provided to allow for quoting control for the command being passed via :r! ... commands. v8 Apr 10, 2006 * Bram Moolenaar reported that he received an error message due to "Pattern not found: ^.*\%0c"; this was caused by stridx finding a Name... at the beginning of the line; zip.vim tried 4,$s/^.*\%0c//, but that doesn't work. Fixed. v7 Mar 22, 2006 * escaped some characters that can cause filename handling problems. v6 Dec 21, 2005 * writing to files not in directories caused problems - fixed (pointed out by Christian Robinson) v5 Nov 22, 2005 * report option workaround installed v3 Oct 18, 2005 * used instead of in autocmds v2 Sep 16, 2005 * silenced some commands (avoiding hit-enter prompt) * began testing under Windows; works thus far * filetype detection fixed Nov 03, 2005 * handles writing zipfiles across a network using netrw#NetWrite() v1 Sep 15, 2005 * Initial release, had browsing, reading, and writing ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:ft=help:fdm=marker
