<p>CodeMirror is a code-editor component that can be embedded in
|
|||
|
|
Web pages. The core library provides <em>only</em> the editor
|
|||
|
|
component, no accompanying buttons, auto-completion, or other IDE
|
|||
|
|
functionality. It does provide a rich API on top of which such
|
|||
|
|
functionality can be straightforwardly implemented. See
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#addons">addons</a> included in the distribution,
|
|||
|
|
and the <a href="https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/wiki/CodeMirror-addons">list
|
|||
|
|
of externally hosted addons</a>, for reusable
|
|||
|
|
implementations of extra features.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>CodeMirror works with language-specific modes. Modes are
|
|||
|
|
JavaScript programs that help color (and optionally indent) text
|
|||
|
|
written in a given language. The distribution comes with a number
|
|||
|
|
of modes (see the <a href="../mode/"><code>mode/</code></a>
|
|||
|
|
directory), and it isn't hard to <a href="#modeapi">write new
|
|||
|
|
ones</a> for other languages.</p>
|
|||
|
|

|
|||

|
|
<section id=usage>
|
|||
|
|
<h2>Basic Usage</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The easiest way to use CodeMirror is to simply load the script
|
|||
|
|
and style sheet found under <code>lib/</code> in the distribution,
|
|||
|
|
plus a mode script from one of the <code>mode/</code> directories.
|
|||
|
|
For example:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre data-lang="text/html"><script src="lib/codemirror.js"></script>
|
|||
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="lib/codemirror.css">
|
|||
|
|
<script src="mode/javascript/javascript.js"></script></pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>(Alternatively, use a module loader. <a href="#modloader">More
|
|||
|
|
about that later.</a>)</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Having done this, an editor instance can be created like
|
|||
|
|
this:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre data-lang="javascript">var myCodeMirror = CodeMirror(document.body);</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The editor will be appended to the document body, will start
|
|||
|
|
empty, and will use the mode that we loaded. To have more control
|
|||
|
|
over the new editor, a configuration object can be passed
|
|||
|
|
to <a href="#CodeMirror"><code>CodeMirror</code></a> as a second
|
|||
|
|
argument:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre data-lang="javascript">var myCodeMirror = CodeMirror(document.body, {
|
|||
|
|
value: "function myScript(){return 100;}\n",
|
|||
|
|
mode: "javascript"
|
|||
|
|
});</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>This will initialize the editor with a piece of code already in
|
|||
|
|
it, and explicitly tell it to use the JavaScript mode (which is
|
|||
|
|
useful when multiple modes are loaded).
|
|||
|
|
See <a href="#config">below</a> for a full discussion of the
|
|||
|
|
configuration options that CodeMirror accepts.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>In cases where you don't want to append the editor to an
|
|||
|
|
element, and need more control over the way it is inserted, the
|
|||
|
|
first argument to the <code>CodeMirror</code> function can also
|
|||
|
|
be a function that, when given a DOM element, inserts it into the
|
|||
|
|
document somewhere. This could be used to, for example, replace a
|
|||
|
|
textarea with a real editor:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre data-lang="javascript">var myCodeMirror = CodeMirror(function(elt) {
|
|||
|
|
myTextArea.parentNode.replaceChild(elt, myTextArea);
|
|||
|
|
}, {value: myTextArea.value});</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>However, for this use case, which is a common way to use
|
|||
|
|
CodeMirror, the library provides a much more powerful
|
|||
|
|
shortcut:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre data-lang="javascript">var myCodeMirror = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(myTextArea);</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>This will, among other things, ensure that the textarea's value
|
|||
|
|
is updated with the editor's contents when the form (if it is part
|
|||
|
|
of a form) is submitted. See the <a href="#fromTextArea">API
|
|||
|
|
reference</a> for a full description of this method.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h3 id=modloader>Module loaders</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The files in the CodeMirror distribution contain shims for
|
|||
|
|
loading them (and their dependencies) in AMD or CommonJS
|
|||
|
|
environments. If the variables <code>exports</code>
|
|||
|
|
and <code>module</code> exist and have type object, CommonJS-style
|
|||
|
|
require will be used. If not, but there is a
|
|||
|
|
function <code>define</code> with an <code>amd</code> property
|
|||
|
|
present, AMD-style (RequireJS) will be used.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>It is possible to
|
|||
|
|
use <a href="http://browserify.org/">Browserify</a> or similar
|
|||
|
|
tools to statically build modules using CodeMirror. Alternatively,
|
|||
|
|
use <a href="http://requirejs.org/">RequireJS</a> to dynamically
|
|||
|
|
load dependencies at runtime. Both of these approaches have the
|
|||
|
|
advantage that they don't use the global namespace and can, thus,
|
|||
|
|
do things like load multiple versions of CodeMirror alongside each
|
|||
|
|
other.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Here's a simple example of using RequireJS to load CodeMirror:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre data-lang="javascript">require([
|
|||
|
|
"cm/lib/codemirror", "cm/mode/htmlmixed/htmlmixed"
|
|||
|
|
], function(CodeMirror) {
|
|||
|
|
CodeMirror.fromTextArea(document.getElementById("code"), {
|
|||
|
|
lineNumbers: true,
|
|||
|
|
mode: "htmlmixed"
|
|||
|
|
});
|
|||
|
|
});</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>It will automatically load the modes that the mixed HTML mode
|
|||
|
|
depends on (XML, JavaScript, and CSS). Do <em>not</em> use
|
|||
|
|
RequireJS' <code>paths</code> option to configure the path to
|
|||
|
|
CodeMirror, since it will break loading submodules through
|
|||
|
|
relative paths. Use
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#packages"><code>packages</code></a>
|
|||
|
|
configuration option instead, as in:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre data-lang=javascript>require.config({
|
|||
|
|
packages: [{
|
|||
|
|
name: "codemirror",
|
|||
|
|
location: "../path/to/codemirror",
|
|||
|
|
main: "lib/codemirror"
|
|||
|
|
}]
|
|||
|
|
});</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</section>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<section id=config>
|
|||
|
|
<h2>Configuration</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Both the <a href="#CodeMirror"><code>CodeMirror</code></a>
|
|||
|
|
function and its <code>fromTextArea</code> method take as second
|
|||
|
|
(optional) argument an object containing configuration options.
|
|||
|
|
Any option not supplied like this will be taken
|
|||
|
|
from <a href="#defaults"><code>CodeMirror.defaults</code></a>, an
|
|||
|
|
object containing the default options. You can update this object
|
|||
|
|
to change the defaults on your page.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Options are not checked in any way, so setting bogus option
|
|||
|
|
values is bound to lead to odd errors.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>These are the supported options:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dl>
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_value"><code><strong>value</strong>: string|CodeMirror.Doc</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>The starting value of the editor. Can be a string, or
|
|||
|
|
a <a href="#api_doc">document object</a>.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_mode"><code><strong>mode</strong>: string|object</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>The mode to use. When not given, this will default to the
|
|||
|
|
first mode that was loaded. It may be a string, which either
|
|||
|
|
simply names the mode or is
|
|||
|
|
a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME">MIME</a> type
|
|||
|
|
associated with the mode. Alternatively, it may be an object
|
|||
|
|
containing configuration options for the mode, with
|
|||
|
|
a <code>name</code> property that names the mode (for
|
|||
|
|
example <code>{name: "javascript", json: true}</code>). The demo
|
|||
|
|
pages for each mode contain information about what configuration
|
|||
|
|
parameters the mode supports. You can ask CodeMirror which modes
|
|||
|
|
and MIME types have been defined by inspecting
|
|||
|
|
the <code>CodeMirror.modes</code>
|
|||
|
|
and <code>CodeMirror.mimeModes</code> objects. The first maps
|
|||
|
|
mode names to their constructors, and the second maps MIME types
|
|||
|
|
to mode specs.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_lineSeparator"><code><strong>lineSeparator</strong>: string|null</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Explicitly set the line separator for the editor. By default
|
|||
|
|
(value <code>null</code>), the document will be split on CRLFs
|
|||
|
|
as well as lone CRs and LFs, and a single LF will be used as
|
|||
|
|
line separator in all output (such
|
|||
|
|
as <a href="#getValue"><code>getValue</code></a>). When a
|
|||
|
|
specific string is given, lines will only be split on that
|
|||
|
|
string, and output will, by default, use that same
|
|||
|
|
separator.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_theme"><code><strong>theme</strong>: string</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>The theme to style the editor with. You must make sure the
|
|||
|
|
CSS file defining the corresponding <code>.cm-s-[name]</code>
|
|||
|
|
styles is loaded (see
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="../theme/"><code>theme</code></a> directory in the
|
|||
|
|
distribution). The default is <code>"default"</code>, for which
|
|||
|
|
colors are included in <code>codemirror.css</code>. It is
|
|||
|
|
possible to use multiple theming classes at once—for
|
|||
|
|
example <code>"foo bar"</code> will assign both
|
|||
|
|
the <code>cm-s-foo</code> and the <code>cm-s-bar</code> classes
|
|||
|
|
to the editor.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_indentUnit"><code><strong>indentUnit</strong>: integer</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>How many spaces a block (whatever that means in the edited
|
|||
|
|
language) should be indented. The default is 2.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_smartIndent"><code><strong>smartIndent</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Whether to use the context-sensitive indentation that the
|
|||
|
|
mode provides (or just indent the same as the line before).
|
|||
|
|
Defaults to true.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_tabSize"><code><strong>tabSize</strong>: integer</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>The width of a tab character. Defaults to 4.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_indentWithTabs"><code><strong>indentWithTabs</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Whether, when indenting, the first N*<code>tabSize</code>
|
|||
|
|
spaces should be replaced by N tabs. Default is false.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_electricChars"><code><strong>electricChars</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Configures whether the editor should re-indent the current
|
|||
|
|
line when a character is typed that might change its proper
|
|||
|
|
indentation (only works if the mode supports indentation).
|
|||
|
|
Default is true.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_specialChars"><code><strong>specialChars</strong>: RegExp</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>A regular expression used to determine which characters
|
|||
|
|
should be replaced by a
|
|||
|
|
special <a href="#option_specialCharPlaceholder">placeholder</a>.
|
|||
|
|
Mostly useful for non-printing special characters. The default
|
|||
|
|
is <code>/[\u0000-\u001f\u007f-\u009f\u00ad\u061c\u200b-\u200f\u2028\u2029\ufeff]/</code>.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_specialCharPlaceholder"><code><strong>specialCharPlaceholder</strong>: function(char) → Element</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>A function that, given a special character identified by
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#option_specialChars"><code>specialChars</code></a>
|
|||
|
|
option, produces a DOM node that is used to represent the
|
|||
|
|
character. By default, a red dot (<span style="color: red">•</span>)
|
|||
|
|
is shown, with a title tooltip to indicate the character code.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_direction"><code><strong>direction</strong>: "ltr" | "rtl"</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Flips overall layout and selects base paragraph direction to
|
|||
|
|
be left-to-right or right-to-left. Default is "ltr".
|
|||
|
|
CodeMirror applies the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm to each
|
|||
|
|
line, but does not autodetect base direction — it's set to the
|
|||
|
|
editor direction for all lines. The resulting order is
|
|||
|
|
sometimes wrong when base direction doesn't match user intent
|
|||
|
|
(for example, leading and trailing punctuation jumps to the
|
|||
|
|
wrong side of the line). Therefore, it's helpful for
|
|||
|
|
multilingual input to let users toggle this option.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<dt id="option_rtlMoveVisually"><code><strong>rtlMoveVisually</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Determines whether horizontal cursor movement through
|
|||
|
|
right-to-left (Arabic, Hebrew) text is visual (pressing the left
|
|||
|
|
arrow moves the cursor left) or logical (pressing the left arrow
|
|||
|
|
moves to the next lower index in the string, which is visually
|
|||
|
|
right in right-to-left text). The default is <code>false</code>
|
|||
|
|
on Windows, and <code>true</code> on other platforms.</dd>
|

<h2>Events</h2>
|

|
|
<p>Various CodeMirror-related objects emit events, which allow
|
|||
|
|
client code to react to various situations. Handlers for such
|
|||
|
|
events can be registered with the <a href="#on"><code>on</code></a>
|
|||
|
|
and <a href="#off"><code>off</code></a> methods on the objects
|
|||
|
|
that the event fires on. To fire your own events,
|
|||
|
|
use <code>CodeMirror.signal(target, name, args...)</code>,
|
|||
|
|
where <code>target</code> is a non-DOM-node object.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>An editor instance fires the following events.
|
|||
|
|
The <code>instance</code> argument always refers to the editor
|

|
|
itself.</p>

The <code>changeObj</code> is a <code>{from, to, text, removed,

|
|
origin}</code> object containing information about the changes
|
|||
|
|
that occurred as second argument. <code>from</code>
|

|
|
and <code>to</code> are the positions (in the pre-change
|
|||
|

coordinate system) where the change started and ended (for
|
|||
|
|
example, it might be <code>{ch:0, line:18}</code> if the
|
|||
|
|
position is at the beginning of line #19). <code>text</code> is
|
|||
|
|
an array of strings representing the text that replaced the
|
|||
|
|
changed range (split by line). <code>removed</code> is the text
|
|||
|

|
|||

|
|||
|
|
properties, as with
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#event_change"><code>"change"</code></a> event. It
|
|||
|
|
also has a <code>cancel()</code> method, which can be called to
|
|||
|
|
cancel the change, and, <strong>if</strong> the change isn't
|
|||
|
|
coming from an undo or redo event, an <code>update(from, to,
|
|||
|
|
text)</code> method, which may be used to modify the change.
|
|||
|
|
Undo or redo changes can't be modified, because they hold some
|
|||
|
|
metainformation for restoring old marked ranges that is only
|
|||
|
|
valid for that specific change. All three arguments
|
|||
|
|
to <code>update</code> are optional, and can be left off to
|
|||
|
|
leave the existing value for that field
|
|||
|
|
intact. <strong>Note:</strong> you may not do anything from
|
|||
|
|
a <code>"beforeChange"</code> handler that would cause changes
|
|||
|
|
to the document or its visualization. Doing so will, since this
|
|||
|
|
handler is called directly from the bowels of the CodeMirror
|
|||
|
|
implementation, probably cause the editor to become
|
|||
|
|
corrupted.</dd>

<h2>Key Maps</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Key maps are ways to associate keys and mouse buttons with
|
|||
|
|
functionality. A key map is an object mapping strings that
|
|||
|
|
identify the buttons to functions that implement their
|
|||
|
|
functionality.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The CodeMirror distributions comes
|
|||
|
|
with <a href="../demo/emacs.html">Emacs</a>, <a href="../demo/vim.html">Vim</a>,
|
|||
|
|
and <a href="../demo/sublime.html">Sublime Text</a>-style keymaps.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Keys are identified either by name or by character.
|
|||
|
|
The <code>CodeMirror.keyNames</code> object defines names for
|
|||
|
|
common keys and associates them with their key codes. Examples of
|
|||
|
|
names defined here are <code>Enter</code>, <code>F5</code>,
|
|||
|
|
and <code>Q</code>. These can be prefixed
|
|||
|
|
with <code>Shift-</code>, <code>Cmd-</code>, <code>Ctrl-</code>,
|
|||
|
|
and <code>Alt-</code> to specify a modifier. So for
|
|||
|
|
example, <code>Shift-Ctrl-Space</code> would be a valid key
|
|||
|
|
identifier.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Common example: map the Tab key to insert spaces instead of a tab
|
|||
|
|
character.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<pre data-lang="javascript">
|
|||
|
|
editor.setOption("extraKeys", {
|
|||
|
|
Tab: function(cm) {
|
|||
|
|
var spaces = Array(cm.getOption("indentUnit") + 1).join(" ");
|
|||
|
|
cm.replaceSelection(spaces);
|
|||
|
|
}
|
|||
|
|
});</pre>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Alternatively, a character can be specified directly by
|
|||
|
|
surrounding it in single quotes, for example <code>'$'</code>
|
|||
|
|
or <code>'q'</code>. Due to limitations in the way browsers fire
|
|||
|
|
key events, these may not be prefixed with modifiers.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>To bind mouse buttons, use the names `LeftClick`,
|
|||
|
|
`MiddleClick`, and `RightClick`. These can also be prefixed with
|
|||
|
|
modifiers, and in addition, the word `Double` or `Triple` can be
|
|||
|
|
put before `Click` (as in `LeftDoubleClick`) to bind a double- or
|
|||
|
|
triple-click. The function for such a binding is passed the
|
|||
|
|
position that was clicked as second argument.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="normalizeKeyMap">Multi-stroke key bindings can be specified
|
|||
|
|
by separating the key names by spaces in the property name, for
|
|||
|
|
example <code>Ctrl-X Ctrl-V</code>. When a map contains
|
|||
|
|
multi-stoke bindings or keys with modifiers that are not specified
|
|||
|
|
in the default order (<code>Shift-Cmd-Ctrl-Alt</code>), you must
|
|||
|
|
call <code>CodeMirror.normalizeKeyMap</code> on it before it can
|
|||
|
|
be used. This function takes a keymap and modifies it to normalize
|
|||
|
|
modifier order and properly recognize multi-stroke bindings. It
|
|||
|
|
will return the keymap itself.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The <code>CodeMirror.keyMap</code> object associates key maps
|
|||
|
|
with names. User code and key map definitions can assign extra
|
|||
|
|
properties to this object. Anywhere where a key map is expected, a
|
|||
|
|
string can be given, which will be looked up in this object. It
|
|||
|
|
also contains the <code>"default"</code> key map holding the
|
|||
|
|
default bindings.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The values of properties in key maps can be either functions of
|
|||
|
|
a single argument (the CodeMirror instance), strings, or
|
|||
|
|
<code>false</code>. Strings refer
|
|||
|
|
to <a href="#commands">commands</a>, which are described below. If
|
|||
|
|
the property is set to <code>false</code>, CodeMirror leaves
|
|||
|
|
handling of the key up to the browser. A key handler function may
|
|||
|
|
return <code>CodeMirror.Pass</code> to indicate that it has
|
|||
|
|
decided not to handle the key, and other handlers (or the default
|
|||
|
|
behavior) should be given a turn.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Keys mapped to command names that start with the
|
|||
|
|
characters <code>"go"</code> or to functions that have a
|
|||
|
|
truthy <code>motion</code> property (which should be used for
|
|||
|
|
cursor-movement actions) will be fired even when an
|
|||
|
|
extra <code>Shift</code> modifier is present (i.e. <code>"Up":
|
|||
|
|
"goLineUp"</code> matches both up and shift-up). This is used to
|
|||
|
|
easily implement shift-selection.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Key maps can defer to each other by defining
|
|||
|
|
a <code>fallthrough</code> property. This indicates that when a
|
|||
|
|
key is not found in the map itself, one or more other maps should
|
|||
|
|
be searched. It can hold either a single key map or an array of
|
|||
|
|
key maps.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>When a key map needs to set something up when it becomes
|

<h2>Commands</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Commands are parameter-less actions that can be performed on an
|
|||
|
|
editor. Their main use is for key bindings. Commands are defined by
|
|||
|
|
adding properties to the <code>CodeMirror.commands</code> object.
|
|||
|
|
A number of common commands are defined by the library itself,
|
|||
|
|
most of them used by the default key bindings. The value of a
|
|||
|
|
command property must be a function of one argument (an editor
|
|||
|
|
instance).</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Some of the commands below are referenced in the default
|
|||
|
|
key map, but not defined by the core library. These are intended to
|
|||
|
|
be defined by user code or addons.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Commands can also be run with
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#execCommand"><code>execCommand</code></a>
|
|||
|
|
method.</p>

<h2>Customized Styling</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Up to a certain extent, CodeMirror's look can be changed by
|
|||
|
|
modifying style sheet files. The style sheets supplied by modes
|
|||
|
|
simply provide the colors for that mode, and can be adapted in a
|
|||
|
|
very straightforward way. To style the editor itself, it is
|
|||
|
|
possible to alter or override the styles defined
|
|||
|
|
in <a href="../lib/codemirror.css"><code>codemirror.css</code></a>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Some care must be taken there, since a lot of the rules in this
|
|||
|
|
file are necessary to have CodeMirror function properly. Adjusting
|
|||
|
|
colors should be safe, of course, and with some care a lot of
|
|||
|
|
other things can be changed as well. The CSS classes defined in
|
|||
|
|
this file serve the following roles:</p>

<dd>The outer element of the editor. This should be used for the
|
|||
|
|
editor width, height, borders and positioning. Can also be used
|
|||
|
|
to set styles that should hold for everything inside the editor
|
|||
|
|
(such as font and font size), or to set a background. Setting
|
|||
|
|
this class' <code>height</code> style to <code>auto</code> will
|
|||
|
|
make the editor <a href="../demo/resize.html">resize to fit its
|

content</a> (it is recommended to also set

You can make it look whichever way you want.</dd>

<h2>Programming API</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>A lot of CodeMirror features are only available through its
|
|||
|
|
API. Thus, you need to write code (or
|
|||
|
|
use <a href="#addons">addons</a>) if you want to expose them to
|
|||
|
|
your users.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Whenever points in the document are represented, the API uses
|
|||
|
|
objects with <code>line</code> and <code>ch</code> properties.
|
|||
|
|
Both are zero-based. CodeMirror makes sure to 'clip' any positions
|
|||
|
|
passed by client code so that they fit inside the document, so you
|
|||
|
|
shouldn't worry too much about sanitizing your coordinates. If you
|
|||
|
|
give <code>ch</code> a value of <code>null</code>, or don't
|
|||
|
|
specify it, it will be replaced with the length of the specified
|
|||
|
|
line. Such positions may also have a <code>sticky</code> property
|
|||
|
|
holding <code>"before"</code> or <code>"after"</code>, whether the
|
|||
|
|
position is associated with the character before or after it. This
|
|||
|
|
influences, for example, where the cursor is drawn on a
|
|||
|
|
line-break or bidi-direction boundary.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Methods prefixed with <code>doc.</code> can, unless otherwise
|
|||
|
|
specified, be called both on <code>CodeMirror</code> (editor)
|
|||
|
|
instances and <code>CodeMirror.Doc</code> instances. Methods
|
|||
|
|
prefixed with <code>cm.</code> are <em>only</em> available
|
|||
|
|
on <code>CodeMirror</code> instances.</p>

<h3 id="api_constructor">Constructor</h3>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="CodeMirror">Constructing an editor instance is done with
|
|||
|
|
the <code><strong>CodeMirror</strong>(place: Element|fn(Element),
|
|||
|
|
?option: object)</code> constructor. If the <code>place</code>
|
|||
|
|
argument is a DOM element, the editor will be appended to it. If
|
|||
|
|
it is a function, it will be called, and is expected to place the
|
|||
|
|
editor into the document. <code>options</code> may be an element
|
|||
|
|
mapping <a href="#config">option names</a> to values. The options
|
|||
|
|
that it doesn't explicitly specify (or all options, if it is not
|
|||
|
|
passed) will be taken
|
|||
|
|
from <a href="#defaults"><code>CodeMirror.defaults</code></a>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Note that the options object passed to the constructor will be
|
|||
|
|
mutated when the instance's options
|
|||
|
|
are <a href="#setOption">changed</a>, so you shouldn't share such
|
|||
|
|
objects between instances.</p>

optional object, which can contain the property `caseFold:

false` to disable case folding when matching a string, or the
|

property `multiline: disable` to disable multi-line matching for

once, and a method <code>findMatchingBracket</code> that can be

the pairs of characters that, when enter is pressed between

them, should have the second character also moved to its own

<dd>Provides a framework for showing autocompletion hints.
|
|||
|
|
Defines <code>editor.showHint</code>, which takes an optional
|
|||
|
|
options object, and pops up a widget that allows the user to
|
|||
|
|
select a completion. Finding hints is done with a hinting
|
|||
|
|
functions (the <code>hint</code> option), which is a function
|
|||
|
|
that take an editor instance and options object, and return
|
|||
|
|
a <code>{list, from, to}</code> object, where <code>list</code>
|
|||
|
|
is an array of strings or objects (the completions),
|
|||
|
|
and <code>from</code> and <code>to</code> give the start and end
|
|||
|
|
of the token that is being completed as <code>{line, ch}</code>
|
|||
|
|
objects. An optional <code>selectedHint</code> property (an
|
|||
|
|
integer) can be added to the completion object to control the
|
|||
|
|
initially selected hint.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>If no hinting function is given, the addon will
|
|||
|
|
use <code>CodeMirror.hint.auto</code>, which
|
|||
|
|
calls <a href="#getHelpers"><code>getHelpers</code></a> with
|
|||
|
|
the <code>"hint"</code> type to find applicable hinting
|
|||
|
|
functions, and tries them one by one. If that fails, it looks
|
|||
|
|
for a <code>"hintWords"</code> helper to fetch a list of
|
|||
|
|
completable words for the mode, and
|
|||
|
|
uses <code>CodeMirror.hint.fromList</code> to complete from
|
|||
|
|
those.</dd>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>When completions aren't simple strings, they should be

objects with the following properties:
|

|
|
<dl>
|

|
|
<dt><code><strong>text</strong>: string</code></dt>

<dd>The text that should be displayed in the menu.</dd>

<dd>The plugin understands the following options, which may be
|
|||
|
|
either passed directly in the argument to <code>showHint</code>,
|
|||
|
|
or provided by setting an <code>hintOptions</code> editor
|
|||
|
|
option to an object (the former takes precedence). The options
|
|||
|
|
object will also be passed along to the hinting function, which
|

may understand additional options.
|

|
|
<dl>
|
|||
|
|
<dt><code><strong>hint</strong>: function</code></dt>
|

<dd>A hinting function, as specified above. It is possible to

set the <code>async</code> property on a hinting function to
|

|
|
true, in which case it will be called with
|
|||

arguments <code>(cm, callback, ?options)</code>, and the

completion interface will only be popped up when the hinting
|

The hinting function can also return a promise, and the completion
|

|
|
interface will only be popped when the promise resolves.
|

By default, hinting only works when there is no

a <code>supportsSelection</code> property with a truthy value

|
|
that can be used to change the focused element, pick the

current element or close the menu. Additionally <code>menuSize()</code>
|

|
|
can give you access to the size of the current dropdown menu,
|

|
|
<code>length</code> give you the number of available completions, and

example <code>CodeMirror.lint.javascript</code>), to an options

specified, <a href="#getHelper"><code>getHelper</code></a> with
|
|||
|
|
type <code>"lint"</code> is used to find an annotation function.
|
|||
|
|
An annotation source function should, when given a document
|
|||
|
|
string, an options object, and an editor instance, return an
|
|||
|
|
array of <code>{message, severity, from, to}</code> objects
|

|
|
representing problems. When the function has
|

an <code>async</code> property with a truthy value, it will be
|
|||
|
|
called with an additional second argument, which is a callback
|
|||
|
|
to pass the array to.
|
|||
|
|
The linting function can also return a promise, in that case the linter
|
|||
|
|
will only be executed when the promise resolves.
|
|||
|
|
By default, the linter will run (debounced) whenever the document is changed.
|
|||
|
|
You can pass a <code>lintOnChange: false</code> option to disable that.

<dt id="addon_autorefresh"><a href="../addon/display/autorefresh.js"><code>display/autorefresh.js</code></a></dt>

<dd>This addon can be useful when initializing an editor in a

|
hidden DOM node, in cases where it is difficult to
|
|||
|
|
call <a href="#refresh"><code>refresh</code></a> when the editor
|
|||
|
|
becomes visible. It defines an option <code>autoRefresh</code>
|

|
|
which you can set to true to ensure that, if the editor wasn't
|
|||
|
|
visible on initialization, it will be refreshed the first time
|
|||
|
|
it becomes visible. This is done by polling every 250
|
|||
|
|
milliseconds (you can pass a value like <code>{delay:
|
|||
|
|
500}</code> as the option value to configure this). Note that
|
|||
|
|
this addon will only refresh the editor <em>once</em> when it
|

|
|
first becomes visible, and won't take care of further restyling

method <code>annotateScrollbar</code> to editor instances that
|

can be called, with a CSS class name as argument, to create a
|
|||

whose <code>update</code> method can be called with a sorted array
|

defined, should be given an array of <code>{column [, className,

<dt id="addon_panel"><a href="../addon/display/panel.js"><code>display/panel.js</code></a></dt>
|

<dd>Defines an <code>addPanel</code> method for CodeMirror
|
|||
|
|
instances, which places a DOM node above or below an editor, and
|
|||
|
|
shrinks the editor to make room for the node. The method takes
|
|||
|
|
as first argument as DOM node, and as second an optional options
|
|||
|
|
object. The <code>Panel</code> object returned by this method
|
|||
|
|
has a <code>clear</code> method that is used to remove the
|
|||
|
|
panel, and a <code>changed</code> method that can be used to
|
|||
|
|
notify the addon when the size of the panel's DOM node has
|
|||
|
|
changed.<br/>
|

The method accepts the following options:

<h2>Writing CodeMirror Modes</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Modes typically consist of a single JavaScript file. This file
|
|||
|
|
defines, in the simplest case, a lexer (tokenizer) for your
|
|||
|
|
language—a function that takes a character stream as input,
|
|||
|
|
advances it past a token, and returns a style for that token. More
|
|||
|
|
advanced modes can also handle indentation for the language.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>This section describes the low-level mode interface. Many modes
|
|||
|
|
are written directly against this, since it offers a lot of
|
|||
|
|
control, but for a quick mode definition, you might want to use
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="../demo/simplemode.html">simple mode addon</a>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="defineMode">The mode script should
|
|||
|
|
call <code><strong>CodeMirror.defineMode</strong></code> to
|
|||
|
|
register itself with CodeMirror. This function takes two
|
|||
|
|
arguments. The first should be the name of the mode, for which you
|
|||
|
|
should use a lowercase string, preferably one that is also the
|
|||
|
|
name of the files that define the mode (i.e. <code>"xml"</code> is
|
|||
|
|
defined in <code>xml.js</code>). The second argument should be a
|
|||
|
|
function that, given a CodeMirror configuration object (the thing
|
|||
|
|
passed to the <code>CodeMirror</code> function) and an optional
|
|||
|
|
mode configuration object (as in
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#option_mode"><code>mode</code></a> option), returns
|
|||
|
|
a mode object.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Typically, you should use this second argument
|
|||
|
|
to <code>defineMode</code> as your module scope function (modes
|
|||
|
|
should not leak anything into the global scope!), i.e. write your
|
|||
|
|
whole mode inside this function.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The main responsibility of a mode script is <em>parsing</em>
|
|||
|
|
the content of the editor. Depending on the language and the
|
|||
|
|
amount of functionality desired, this can be done in really easy
|
|||
|
|
or extremely complicated ways. Some parsers can be stateless,
|
|||
|
|
meaning that they look at one element (<em>token</em>) of the code
|
|||
|
|
at a time, with no memory of what came before. Most, however, will
|
|||
|
|
need to remember something. This is done by using a <em>state
|
|||
|
|
object</em>, which is an object that is always passed when
|
|||
|
|
reading a token, and which can be mutated by the tokenizer.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="startState">Modes that use a state must define
|
|||
|
|
a <code><strong>startState</strong></code> method on their mode
|
|||
|
|
object. This is a function of no arguments that produces a state
|
|||
|
|
object to be used at the start of a document.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="token">The most important part of a mode object is
|
|||
|
|
its <code><strong>token</strong>(stream, state)</code> method. All
|
|||
|
|
modes must define this method. It should read one token from the
|
|||
|
|
stream it is given as an argument, optionally update its state,
|
|||
|
|
and return a style string, or <code>null</code> for tokens that do
|
|||
|
|
not have to be styled. For your styles, you are encouraged to use
|
|||
|
|
the 'standard' names defined in the themes (without
|
|||
|
|
the <code>cm-</code> prefix). If that fails, it is also possible
|
|||
|
|
to come up with your own and write your own CSS theme file.<p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="token_style_line">A typical token string would
|
|||
|
|
be <code>"variable"</code> or <code>"comment"</code>. Multiple
|
|||
|
|
styles can be returned (separated by spaces), for
|
|||
|
|
example <code>"string error"</code> for a thing that looks like a
|
|||
|
|
string but is invalid somehow (say, missing its closing quote).
|
|||
|
|
When a style is prefixed by <code>"line-"</code>
|
|||
|
|
or <code>"line-background-"</code>, the style will be applied to
|
|||
|
|
the whole line, analogous to what
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#addLineClass"><code>addLineClass</code></a> method
|
|||
|
|
does—styling the <code>"text"</code> in the simple case, and
|
|||
|
|
the <code>"background"</code> element
|
|||
|
|
when <code>"line-background-"</code> is prefixed.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="StringStream">The stream object that's passed
|
|||
|
|
to <code>token</code> encapsulates a line of code (tokens may
|
|||

When it is a string, <code>caseFold</code> can be set to true to

make the match case-insensitive. When successfully matching a

<p id="blankLine">By default, blank lines are simply skipped when
|
|||
|
|
tokenizing a document. For languages that have significant blank
|
|||
|
|
lines, you can define
|
|||
|
|
a <code><strong>blankLine</strong>(state)</code> method on your
|
|||
|
|
mode that will get called whenever a blank line is passed over, so
|
|||
|
|
that it can update the parser state.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="copyState">Because state object are mutated, and CodeMirror
|
|||
|
|
needs to keep valid versions of a state around so that it can
|
|||
|
|
restart a parse at any line, copies must be made of state objects.
|
|||
|
|
The default algorithm used is that a new state object is created,
|
|||
|
|
which gets all the properties of the old object. Any properties
|
|||
|
|
which hold arrays get a copy of these arrays (since arrays tend to
|
|||
|
|
be used as mutable stacks). When this is not correct, for example
|
|||
|
|
because a mode mutates non-array properties of its state object, a
|
|||
|
|
mode object should define
|
|||
|
|
a <code><strong>copyState</strong></code> method, which is given a
|
|||
|
|
state and should return a safe copy of that state.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="indent">If you want your mode to provide smart indentation
|
|||
|
|
(through the <a href="#indentLine"><code>indentLine</code></a>
|
|||
|
|
method and the <code>indentAuto</code>
|
|||
|
|
and <code>newlineAndIndent</code> commands, to which keys can be
|
|||
|
|
<a href="#option_extraKeys">bound</a>), you must define
|
|||
|
|
an <code><strong>indent</strong>(state, textAfter)</code> method
|
|||
|
|
on your mode object.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The indentation method should inspect the given state object,
|
|||
|
|
and optionally the <code>textAfter</code> string, which contains
|
|||
|
|
the text on the line that is being indented, and return an
|
|||
|
|
integer, the amount of spaces to indent. It should usually take
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#option_indentUnit"><code>indentUnit</code></a>
|
|||
|
|
option into account. An indentation method may
|
|||
|
|
return <code>CodeMirror.Pass</code> to indicate that it
|
|||
|
|
could not come up with a precise indentation.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="mode_comment">To work well with
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#addon_comment">commenting addon</a>, a mode may
|
|||
|
|
define <code><strong>lineComment</strong></code> (string that
|
|||
|
|
starts a line
|
|||
|
|
comment), <code><strong>blockCommentStart</strong></code>, <code><strong>blockCommentEnd</strong></code>
|
|||
|
|
(strings that start and end block comments),
|
|||
|
|
and <code>blockCommentLead</code> (a string to put at the start of
|
|||
|
|
continued lines in a block comment). All of these are
|
|||
|
|
optional.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="electricChars">Finally, a mode may define either
|
|||
|
|
an <code>electricChars</code> or an <code>electricInput</code>
|
|||
|
|
property, which are used to automatically reindent the line when
|
|||
|
|
certain patterns are typed and
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#option_electricChars"><code>electricChars</code></a>
|
|||
|
|
option is enabled. <code>electricChars</code> may be a string, and
|
|||
|
|
will trigger a reindent whenever one of the characters in that
|
|||
|
|
string are typed. Often, it is more appropriate to
|
|||
|
|
use <code>electricInput</code>, which should hold a regular
|
|||
|
|
expression, and will trigger indentation when the part of the
|
|||
|
|
line <em>before</em> the cursor matches the expression. It should
|
|||
|
|
usually end with a <code>$</code> character, so that it only
|
|||
|
|
matches when the indentation-changing pattern was just typed, not when something was
|
|||
|
|
typed after the pattern.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>So, to summarize, a mode <em>must</em> provide
|
|||
|
|
a <code>token</code> method, and it <em>may</em>
|
|||
|
|
provide <code>startState</code>, <code>copyState</code>,
|
|||
|
|
and <code>indent</code> methods. For an example of a trivial mode,
|
|||
|
|
see the <a href="../mode/diff/diff.js">diff mode</a>, for a more
|
|||
|
|
involved example, see the <a href="../mode/clike/clike.js">C-like
|
|||
|
|
mode</a>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Sometimes, it is useful for modes to <em>nest</em>—to have one
|
|||
|
|
mode delegate work to another mode. An example of this kind of
|
|||
|
|
mode is the <a href="../mode/htmlmixed/htmlmixed.js">mixed-mode HTML
|
|||
|
|
mode</a>. To implement such nesting, it is usually necessary to
|
|||
|
|
create mode objects and copy states yourself. To create a mode
|
|||
|
|
object, there are <code>CodeMirror.getMode(options,
|
|||
|
|
parserConfig)</code>, where the first argument is a configuration
|
|||
|
|
object as passed to the mode constructor function, and the second
|
|||
|
|
argument is a mode specification as in
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#option_mode"><code>mode</code></a> option. To copy a
|
|||
|
|
state object, call <code>CodeMirror.copyState(mode, state)</code>,
|
|||
|
|
where <code>mode</code> is the mode that created the given
|
|||
|
|
state.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="innerMode">In a nested mode, it is recommended to add an
|
|||
|
|
extra method, <code><strong>innerMode</strong></code> which, given
|
|||
|
|
a state object, returns a <code>{state, mode}</code> object with
|
|||
|
|
the inner mode and its state for the current position. These are
|
|||
|
|
used by utility scripts such as the <a href="#addon_closetag">tag
|
|||
|
|
closer</a> to get context information. Use
|
|||
|
|
the <code>CodeMirror.innerMode</code> helper function to, starting
|
|||
|
|
from a mode and a state, recursively walk down to the innermost
|
|||
|
|
mode and state.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>To make indentation work properly in a nested parser, it is
|
|||
|
|
advisable to give the <code>startState</code> method of modes that
|
|||
|
|
are intended to be nested an optional argument that provides the
|
|||
|
|
base indentation for the block of code. The JavaScript and CSS
|
|||
|
|
parser do this, for example, to allow JavaScript and CSS code
|
|||
|
|
inside the mixed-mode HTML mode to be properly indented.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="defineMIME">It is possible, and encouraged, to associate
|
|||
|
|
your mode, or a certain configuration of your mode, with
|
|||
|
|
a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME">MIME</a> type. For
|
|||
|
|
example, the JavaScript mode associates itself
|
|||
|
|
with <code>text/javascript</code>, and its JSON variant
|
|||
|
|
with <code>application/json</code>. To do this,
|
|||
|
|
call <code><strong>CodeMirror.defineMIME</strong>(mime,
|
|||
|
|
modeSpec)</code>, where <code>modeSpec</code> can be a string or
|
|||
|
|
object specifying a mode, as in
|
|||
|
|
the <a href="#option_mode"><code>mode</code></a> option.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>If a mode specification wants to add some properties to the
|
|||
|
|
resulting mode object, typically for use
|
|||
|
|
with <a href="#getHelpers"><code>getHelpers</code></a>, it may
|
|||
|
|
contain a <code>modeProps</code> property, which holds an object.
|
|||
|
|
This object's properties will be copied to the actual mode
|
|||
|
|
object.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p id="extendMode">Sometimes, it is useful to add or override mode
|
|||
|
|
object properties from external code.
|
|||
|
|
The <code><strong>CodeMirror.extendMode</strong></code> function
|
|||
|
|
can be used to add properties to mode objects produced for a
|
|||
|
|
specific mode. Its first argument is the name of the mode, its
|
|||
|
|
second an object that specifies the properties that should be
|
|||
|
|
added. This is mostly useful to add utilities that can later be

including <a href="../keymap/vim.js"><code>keymap/vim.js</code>

|
|
<p>CodeMirror's VIM mode implements a large subset of VIM's core
|
|||
|
|
editing functionality. But since there's always more to be
|
|||
|
|
desired, there is a set of APIs for extending VIM's
|
|||
|
|
functionality. As with the configuration API, the methods are
|
|||
|
|
exposed on <code><strong>CodeMirror.Vim</strong></code> and may
|
|||
|
|
be called at any time.</p>

<dt id="vimapi_defineOption"><code><strong>defineOption(name: string, default: any, type: string, ?aliases: array<string>, ?callback: function (?value: any, ?cm: CodeMirror) → ?any)</strong></code></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Defines a VIM style option and makes it available to the
|
|||
|
|
<code>:set</code> command. Type can be <code>boolean</code> or
|
|||
|
|
<code>string</code>, used for validation and by
|
|||
|
|
<code>:set</code> to determine which syntax to accept. If a
|
|||
|
|
<code>callback</code> is passed in, VIM does not store the value of the
|
|||
|
|
option itself, but instead uses the callback as a setter/getter. If the
|
|||
|
|
first argument to the callback is <code>undefined</code>, then the
|
|||
|
|
callback should return the value of the option. Otherwise, it should set
|
|||
|
|
instead. Since VIM options have global and instance values, whether a
|
|||
|
|
<code>CodeMirror</code> instance is passed in denotes whether the global
|
|||
|
|
or local value should be used. Consequently, it's possible for the
|
|||
|
|
callback to be called twice for a single <code>setOption</code> or
|
|||
|
|
<code>getOption</code> call. Note that right now, VIM does not support
|
|||
|
|
defining buffer-local options that do not have global values. If an
|

|
|
option should not have a global value, either always ignore the
|
|||

<code>cm</code> parameter in the callback, or always pass in a

|
|||
|
|
defineMotion</code></strong>. <code>ranges</code> is the range
|
|||
|
|
of text the operator should operate on. If the cursor should
|
|||
|
|
be set to a certain position after the operation finishes, it
|
|||
|
|
can return a cursor object.</dd>

<dt id="vimapi_defineActon"><strong><code>defineAction(name: string, fn: function(cm: CodeMirror, ?actionArgs: object))</code></strong></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Defines an action command, similar to
|
|||
|
|
<strong><code>defineMotion</code></strong>. Action commands
|
|||
|
|
can have arbitrary behavior, making them more flexible than
|
|||
|
|
motions and operators, at the loss of orthogonality.</dd>

<dt id="vimapi_defineEx"><strong><code>defineEx(name: string, ?prefix: string, fn: function(cm: CodeMirror, ?params: object))</code></strong></dt>
|
|||
|
|
<dd>Defines an Ex command, and maps it to <code>:name</code>.
|
|||
|
|
If a prefix is provided, it, and any prefixed substring of the
|
|||
|
|
<code>name</code> beginning with the <code>prefix</code> can
|
|||
|
|
be used to invoke the command. If the <code>prefix</code> is
|
|||
|
|
falsy, then <code>name</code> is used as the prefix. <code>
|
|||
|
|
params.argString</code> contains the part of the prompted
|
|||
|
|
string after the command name. <code>params.args</code> is
|
|||
|
|
<code>params.argString</code> split by whitespace. If the
|
|||
|
|
command was prefixed with a
|
|||
|
|
<code><strong><a href="http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/cmdline.html#cmdline-ranges">line range</a></strong></code>,
|
|||
|
|
<code>params.line</code> and <code>params.lineEnd</code> will
|
|||
|
|
be set.
