"  Tom Ryder (tejr)’s Literate Vimrc
" ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"
" Last updated: Thu, 19 Dec 2019 17:07:46 +1300
"
" │ And I was lifted up in heart, and thought
" │ Of all my late-shown prowess in the lists,
" │ How my strong lance had beaten down the knights,
" │ So many and famous names; and never yet
" │ Had heaven appeared so blue, nor earth so green,
" │ For all my blood danced in me, and I knew
" │ That I should light upon the Holy Grail.
" │
" │     —Tennyson
"
" This file is an attempt at something like a “literate vimrc”, in the
" tradition of Donald Knuth’s “literate programming”:
" <http://www.literateprogramming.com/>
"
" The dotfiles project that comprises it is maintained here:
" <https://sanctum.geek.nz/cgit/dotfiles.git>
"
" This is a long file, and comments abound within.  Should this be bothersome,
" one could execute this command in Vim itself to strip out all lines either
" blank or comprising solely comments:
"
"     :g/\m^$\|^\s*"/d
"
" This file should be saved as ‘vimrc’—no leading period—in the user runtime
" directory.  On Unix-like operating systems, hereinafter referred to as
" “*nix”, that directory is ‘~/.vim’; on Windows, it’s ‘~/vimfiles’.
" Fortunately, those are the only two kinds of operating systems that exist,
" anywhere in the world.
"
" It requires Vim v7.0.0 or newer, with the +eval feature, and the
" 'compatible' option turned off, chiefly to allow line continuations.  The
" vimrc stub at ~/.vimrc (Unix) or ~/_vimrc (Windows) should check that these
" conditions are met before loading this file with ‘:runtime vimrc’.
"
" All of this should survive a pass of the Vim script linter Vint with no
" errors, warnings, or style problems: <https://github.com/Kuniwak/vint>
"

" We’ll begin by making sure that we and Vim are speaking the same language.
" Since it’s been the future for a few years now, this file has characters
" outside the ASCII character set, which prompts Vint to suggest declaring the
" file encoding with a :scriptencoding command.  The :help for that command
" specifies that this should be done after 'encoding' is set, so we’ll do that
" here, too.
"
" On *nix, I define the primary locale environment variable $LANG, almost
" always specifying a multibyte locale.  This informs Vim’s choice of internal
" character encoding, but the default for the 'encoding' option in the absence
" of a valid $LANG is ‘latin1’.  Since this is almost never what I want, we’ll
" manually choose the UTF-8 encoding for Unicode in the absence of any other
" explicit specification.
"
if &encoding ==# 'latin1' && !exists('$LANG')
  set encoding=utf-8
endif
scriptencoding utf-8

" With encoding handled, we’ll turn our attention to the value of the
" 'runtimepath' option, since any scripts loaded from the paths specified
" therein control so much of the behavior of Vim.  I’d like to do this as
" accurately as possible, even with Vim’s unusual behavior around escaping of
" these variables.  One of the first things we’ll need to be able to do is
" split the value of 'runtimepath' into its constituent path parts.
"
" Splitting the values of comma-separated options correctly is surprisingly
" complicated.  The list separator for such options is more accurately defined
" as follows:
"
" │ A comma not preceded by a backslash, and possibly followed by an arbitrary
" │ number of spaces and commas.
"
" The pattern required for the split breaks down like this:
"
"   \\     ← Literal backslash
"   \@<!   ← Negative lookbehind assertion; means that whatever occurred
"            before this pattern, here a backslash, cannot precede what
"            follows, but anything that does precede it is not removed from
"            the data as part of the split delimiter
"   ,      ← Literal comma
"   [, ]*  ← Any number of commas and spaces
"
" We don’t, however, have to deal with backslashes before other backslashes,
" nor before any other character.  You can read the source code for the ad-hoc
" tokenizer in copy_option_part() in src/misc2.c in Vim’s source code, and
" test it with some values of your own, if you want to understand why.  Vim,
" I love you, but you are really weird sometimes.
"
" We do all this with an autoloaded function option#Split().
"
" If an environment variable MYVIM exists, and it isn’t blank, apply its value
" as the first value of 'runtimepath', after escaping it appropriately.
" Otherwise, do it the other way around: the first path in the 'runtimepath'
" list becomes MYVIM.
"
if exists('$MYVIM') && $MYVIM !=# ''
  execute 'set runtimepath^='.argument#Escape(option#item#Escape($MYVIM, 1))
elseif &runtimepath !=# ''
  let $MYVIM = option#Split(&runtimepath)[0]
endif

" We need a command to reliably establish a full path, whether or not the
" directories already exist.  We create a wrapper for the autoloaded function
" path#Create() with similar calling conventions to mkdir(), but with the ‘p’
" value for the second parameter {prot} forced on.  Calling it with a bang
" like :CreatePath! creates a private directory (permissions 0700).
"
command! -bang -bar -complete=dir -nargs=1 CreatePath
      \ call path#Create(expand(<q-args>), <q-bang> ==# '!')

" Now that we have a way to create directories if they don’t already exist,
" let’s apply it for the first time to the user runtime directory.  Note that
" we aren’t checking whether this actually succeeded.  We do want errors
" raised if there were problems with the creation, but we’ll barrel on ahead
" regardless after warning the user about our failure.
"
" Using a logical but non-default location for viminfo has the nice benefit of
" preventing command and search history from getting clobbered when something
" runs Vim without using this vimrc, because such an instance will safely
" write its own history to the default viminfo path instead.  It also
" contributes to our aim of having everything related to the Vim runtime
" process in one dedicated directory tree.
"
" The normal method of specifying the path to the viminfo file, as applied
" here, is an addendum of the path to the 'viminfo' option with an ‘n’ prefix.
" Vim v8.1.716 introduced a nicer way to set this with an option named
" 'viminfofile', but that’s still too new for us to use just yet.
"
" <https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v8.1.0716>
"
execute 'set viminfo+='.argument#Escape('n'.$MYVIM.'/viminfo')
CreatePath $MYVIM

" Speaking of recorded data in viminfo files, the default Vim limit of a mere
" 50 entries for command and search history is pretty stingy.  Because I don’t
" think I’m ever likely to be in a situation where remembering several
" thousand Vim commands and search patterns is going to severely tax memory,
" let alone disk space, I’d rather this limit were much higher.  It’s
" sometimes really handy to dig up commands from many days ago.
"
" The maximum value for the 'history' option is documented in ‘:help
" 'history'’ as 10000, so let’s just use that, and see if anything breaks.
"
set history=10000

" We’ll now enable automatic backups of most file buffers, since that’s off by
" default.  In practice, I don’t need these backups very much, at least if I’m
" using version control sensibly, but they have still saved my bacon a few
" times.
"
" We’ll try to keep the backup files in a dedicated cache directory, to stop
" them popping up next to the file to which they correspond, and getting
" accidentally committed to version control.
"
" If Vim is new enough, we’ll add two trailing slashes to the path we’re
" inserting, which prompts Vim to incorporate the full escaped path of the
" relevant buffer in the backup filename, avoiding collisions.
"
" As a historical note, other similar directory path list options supported
" this trailing slashes hint for a long time before 'backupdir' caught up to
" them.  The 'directory' option for swap files has supported it at least as
" far back as v5.8.0 (2001), and 'undodir' appears to have supported it since
" its creation in v7.2.438.  Even though ‘:help 'backupdir'’ didn’t say so,
" people assumed it would work the same way, when in fact Vim simply ignored
" it until v8.1.0251.
"
" I don’t want to add the slashes to the option value in older versions of Vim
" where they don’t do anything, so we’ll check the version ourselves to see if
" there’s any point in including them.
"
" <https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v8.1.0251>
"
" It’s all so awkward.  Surely separate options named something like
" 'backupfullname', 'swapfilefullname' would have been clearer.
"
set backup
execute 'set backupdir^='.argument#Escape(option#item#Escape(
      \ $MYVIM.'/backup'.(has#('patch-8.1.251') ? '//' : ''),
      \))
CreatePath! $MYVIM/backup

" Files in certain directories on Unix-compatible filesystems should not be
" backed up, for security reasons.  This is particularly important if editing
" temporary files created by sudoedit(8).  On Unix-like systems, we here add
" a few paths to the default value of 'backupskip' in order to prevent the
" creation of such undesired backup files.
"
" * /dev/shm: RAM disk, default path for password-store’s temporary files
" * /usr/tmp: Hard-coded path for sudoedit(8) [1/2]
" * /var/tmp: Hard-coded path for sudoedit(8) [2/2]
"
" Prior to v8.1.1519, Vim didn’t check patterns added to 'backupskip' for
" uniqueness, so adding the same path repeatedly resulted in duplicate strings
" in the value.  This was due to the absence of the P_NODUP flag for the
" option’s definition in src/option.c in the Vim source code.  If we’re using
" a version older than v8.1.1519, we’ll need to explicitly reset 'backupskip'
" to its default value before adding patterns to it, so that reloading this
" file doesn’t stack up multiple copies of any added paths.
"
" <https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v8.1.1519>
"
if has#('unix')
  if !has#('patch-8.1.1519')
    set backupskip&
  endif
  set backupskip^=/dev/shm/*,/usr/tmp/*,/var/tmp/*
endif

" Keep swap files for file buffers in a dedicated directory, rather than the
" default of writing them to the same directory as the buffer file.  Add two
" trailing slashes to the path to prompt Vim to use the full escaped path in
" its name, in order to avoid filename collisions, since the 'directory'
" option has supported that hint for much longer than 'backupdir' has.  We
" apply path#Create() to attempt to create the path, if needed.
"
execute 'set directory^='
      \.argument#Escape(option#item#Escape($MYVIM.'/swap//'))
CreatePath! $MYVIM/swap

" Keep tracked undo history for files permanently, in a dedicated cache
" directory, so that the u/:undo and CTRL-R/:redo commands will work between
" Vim invocations.
"
" The 'undodir' option has the same structure as 'backupdir' and 'directory';
" if we have a user runtime directory, create a sub-subdirectory within it
" dedicated to the undo files cache.  Note also the trailing double-slash as
" a signal to Vim to use the full path of the original file in its undo file
" cache’s name.
"
" Support for these persistent undo file caches was not released until v7.3.0,
" so we need to check for the feature’s presence before we enable it.
"
if has#('persistent_undo')
  set undofile
  execute 'set undodir^='
        \.argument#Escape(option#item#Escape($MYVIM.'/undo//'))
  CreatePath! $MYVIM/undo
endif

" Now that we have a bit more confidence in our runtime environment, set up
" all of the filetype detection, plugin, and indent hooks.
"
filetype plugin indent on

" There are a couple of contexts in which it's useful to reload filetypes for
" the current buffer, quietly doing nothing if filetypes aren't enabled.
" We'll set up a user command named :ReloadFileType to do this, with
" a script-local function backing it.
"
command! -bar ReloadFileType
      \ call reload#FileType()

" We'll also define a :ReloadVimrc command.  This may seem like overkill, at
" first.  Surely just `:source $MYVIMRC` would be good enough?
"
" The problem is there are potential side effects to the current buffer when
" the vimrc is reloaded.  The global :set commands for some options may
" trample over different buffer-local settings that were specified by filetype
" and indent plugins.  To ensure these local values are reinstated, we'll
" define the new command wrapper around an autoloaded function that itself
" issues a :ReloadFileType command after the vimrc file is sourced.
"
" We can't put the actual :source command into the script-local function we
" define here, because Vim would get upset that we're trying to redefine
" a function as it executes!
"
command! -bar ReloadVimrc
      \ call reload#Vimrc()

" We'll now create or reset a group of automatic command hooks specific to
" matters related to reloading the vimrc itself, or maintaining and managing
" options set within it.
"
augroup vimrc
  autocmd!
augroup END

" Reload the stub vimrc, and thereby this main one, each time either of them
" is written.  This often makes errors in the file immediately apparent, and
" saves restarting Vim or running the :source command manually, which I almost
" always want to do after changing my vimrc file anyway.
"
autocmd vimrc BufWritePost $MYVIMRC,$MYVIM/vimrc
      \ ReloadVimrc

" If Vim is new enough (v7.0.187) to support the ##SourceCmd event for
" automatic command hooks, we'll also apply a hook for that event to catch
" invocations of :source of either vimrc file, and translate that into
" reloading the stub vimrc.
"

" For spelling, use New Zealand English by default, but later on we’ll
" configure a leader mapping to switch to United States English, since I so
" often have to write for Yankees.
"
set spelllang=en_nz

" Spell checking includes optional support for catching lower case letters at
" the start of sentences, and defines a pattern in 'spellcapcheck' for the end
" of a sentence.  The default is pretty good, but with two-spacing with
" 'cpoptions' including ‘J’ and 'formatoptions' including ‘p’ as set later in
" this file, we can be less ambiguous in this pattern.  We require two
" consecutive spaces, a newline, a carriage return, or a tab to mark the end
" of a sentence.  This means that we could make abbreviations like “i.e.
" something” without flagging “something” as a spelling error.
"
set spellcapcheck=[.?!]\\%(\ \ \\\|[\\n\\r\\t]\\)

" For word completion in insert mode with CTRL-X CTRL-K, or if 'complete'
" includes the ‘k’ flag, the 'dictionary' option specifies the path to the
" system word list.  This makes the dictionary completion work consistently,
" even if 'spell' isn’t set at the time to coax it into using 'spellfile'.
"
" It’s not an error if the system directory file added first doesn’t exist;
" it’s just a common location that often yields a workable word list, and does
" so on all of my main machines.
"
" At some point, I may end up having to set this option along with 'spellfile'
" a bit more intelligently to ensure that spell checking and dictionary
" function consistently, and with reference to the same resources.  For the
" moment, I’ve just added another entry referring to a directory in the user
" runtime directory, but I don’t have anything distinct to put there yet.
"
" In much the same way, we add an expected path to a thesaurus, for completion
" with CTRL-X CTRL-T in insert mode, or with ‘t’ added to 'completeopt'.  The
" thesaurus data isn’t installed as part of the default ‘install-vim’ target
" in tejr’s dotfiles, but it can be retrieved and installed with
" ‘install-vim-thesaurus’.
"
" I got the thesaurus itself from the link in the :help for 'thesaurus' in
" v8.1.  It’s from WordNet and MyThes-1.  I maintain a mirror on my own
" website that the Makefile recipe attempts to retrieve.  I had to remove the
" first two metadata lines from thesaurus.txt, as Vim appeared to interpret
" them as part of the body data.
"
" Extra checks for appending the 'dictionary' and 'thesaurus' paths in MYVIM
" need to be made, because the P_NDNAME property is assigned to them, which
" enforces a character blacklist in the option value.  We check for the
" expected Vim error code here, and if the MYVIM path offends, we just skip
" the setting entirely, rather than throwing cryptic errors at the user.  None
" of the blacklisted characters are particularly wise characters to have in
" paths, anyway, legal though they may be on Unix filesystems.  We can’t work
" around this one with 'isfname'; the blacklist is hard-coded.

" Next, we’ll modernize a little in adjusting some options with old
" language-specific defaults.
"
" Traditional vi was often used for development in the C programming language.
" The default values for a lot of Vim’s options still reflect this common use
" pattern.  In this case, the 'comments' and 'commentstring' options reflect
" the C syntax for comments:
"
"     /*
"      * This is an ANSI C comment.
"      */
"
" Similarly, the 'define' and 'include' options default to C preprocessor
" directives:
"
"     #define FOO "bar"
"
"     #include "baz.h"
"
" Times change, however, and I don’t get to work with C nearly as much as I’d
" like.  The defaults for these options no longer make sense, and so we blank
" them, compelling filetype plugins to set them as they need instead.
"
" The default value for the 'path' option is similar, in that it has an aged
" default; this option specifies directories in which project files and
" includes can be unearthed by navigation commands like 'gf'.  Specifically,
" its default value comprises /usr/include, which is another C default.  Let’s
" get rid of that, too.
"
set comments= commentstring= define= include=
set path-=/usr/include

" Relax traditional vi’s harsh standards over what regions of the buffer can
" be removed with backspace in insert mode.  While this admittedly allows bad
" habits to continue, since insert mode by definition is not really intended
" for deleting text, I feel the convenience outweighs that in this case.
"
set backspace+=eol     " Line breaks
set backspace+=indent  " Leading whitespace characters created by 'autoindent'
set backspace+=start   " Text before the start of the current insertion

" When soft-wrapping text with the 'wrap' option on, which is off by default,
" break the lines between words, rather than within them; it’s much easier to
" read.
"
set linebreak

" Similarly, show that the screen line is a trailing part of a wrapped line by
" prefixing it with an ellipsis.  If we have a multi-byte encoding, use
" a proper ellipsis character to save a couple of columns, but otherwise three
" periods will do just fine.
"
"     …  U+2026  HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
"
" Note that we test for the presence of a multi-byte encoding with a special
" feature from ‘:help feature-list’, as recommended by ‘:help encoding’.
" Checking that ‘&encoding ==# 'utf-8'’ is not quite the same thing, though
" it’s unlikely I’ll ever use a different Unicode encoding by choice.
"

endif

" The visual structure of code provided by indents breaks down if a lot of the
" lines wrap.  Ideally, most if not all lines would be kept below 80
" characters, but in cases where this isn’t possible, soft-wrapping longer
" lines when 'wrap' is on so that the indent is preserved in the following
" line mitigates this breakdown somewhat.
"
" With this 'breakindent' option set, it’s particularly important to have
" 'showbreak' set to something besides an empty string, as done above,
" otherwise without line numbers it’s hard to tell what’s a logical line and
" what’s not.
"
" The 'breakindent' option wasn’t added until v7.4.338, so we need to check it

" stops showing '--INSERT--'.
"
" This breaks the function keys and the Meta/Alt modifier in insert mode in
" most or maybe all of the terminals I use, but I don’t want those keys in
" insert mode, anyway.  All of this works fine in the GUI, of course.

" begin here.  I rely on the filetype plugins to set the ‘t’ and ‘c’ flags for
" this option to configure whether text or comments should be wrapped, as
" appropriate for the document type or language, and so I don’t mess with
" either of those flags here.

" If a line is already longer than 'textwidth' would otherwise limit when
" editing of that line begins in insert mode, don’t suddenly automatically
" wrap it; I’ll break it apart myself with a command like 'gq'.  This doesn’t
" seem to stop paragraph reformatting with ‘a’, if that’s set.
"
set formatoptions+=l

" Don’t wrap a line in such a way that a single-letter word like “I” or “a” is
" at the end of it.  Typographically, as far as I can tell, this seems to be
" a stylistic preference rather than a rule, rather like avoiding “widow” and
" “orphan” lines in typesetting.  I think it generally looks better to have
" the short word start the line, so we’ll switch it on.
"
set formatoptions+=1

" If the filetype plugins have correctly described what the comment syntax for
" the buffer’s language looks like, it makes sense to use that to figure out
" how to join lines within comments without redundant comment syntax cropping
" up.  For example, with this set, joining lines in this very comment with ‘J’
" would remove the leading ‘"’ characters.
"
" This 'formatoptions' flag wasn’t added until v7.3.541.  Because we can’t
" test for the availability of option flags directly, we resort to a version
" number check before attempting to set it.  I don’t like using :silent! to
" suppress errors for this sort of thing when I can reasonably avoid it, even
" if the tests are somewhat more verbose.

" A momentary digression here into the doldrums of 'cpoptions'—after staunchly
" opposing it for years, I have converted to two-spacing.  You can blame Steve
" Losh:
"
" <http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/why-i-two-space/>
"
" Consequently, we specify that sentence objects for the purposes of the ‘s’
" text object, the ‘(’ and ‘)’ sentence motions, and formatting with the 'gq'
" command must be separated by *two* spaces.  One space does not suffice.
"
" My defection to the two-spacers is also the reason I now leave 'joinspaces'
" set, per its default, so that two spaces are inserted when consecutive
" sentences separated by a line break are joined onto one line by the ‘J’
" command.
"
set cpoptions+=J

" Separating sentences with two spaces has an advantage in making a clear
" distinction between two different types of periods: periods that abbreviate
" longer words, as in “Mr. Moolenaar”, and periods that terminate sentences,
" like this one.
"
" If we’re using two-period spacing for sentences, Vim can interpret the
" different spacing to distinguish between the two types, and can thereby
" avoid breaking a line just after an abbreviating period.  For example, the
" two words in “Mr. Moolenaar” should never be split apart, lest the
" abbreviation “Mr.” look too much like the end of a sentence.  This also
" preserves the semantics of that same period for subsequent reformatting; its
" single-space won’t get lost.
"
" So, getting back to our 'formatoptions' settings, that is what the ‘p’ flag
" does.  I wrote the patch that added it, after becoming envious of an
" analogous feature during an ill-fated foray into GNU Emacs usage.

" My mapping definitions begin here.  I have some general personal rules for
" approaches to mappings:
"
" * Use the configured Leader key as a prefix for mappings as much as
"   possible.
"
" * Use only the configured LocalLeader key as a prefix for mappings that are
"   defined as local to a buffer, which for me are almost always based on
"   &filetype and set up by ftplugin files.
"
" * If a normal mode map would make sense in visual mode, take the time to
"   configure that too.  Use :xmap and its analogues rather than :vmap to
"   avoid defining unusable select-mode mappings, even though I never actually
"   use selection mode directly.
"
" * Avoid mapping in insert mode; let characters be literal to the greatest
"   extent possible, and avoid “doing more” in insert mode besides merely
"   inserting text as it’s typed.
"
" * Avoid key chords with Ctrl in favor of leader keys.
"
" * Never use Alt/Meta key chords; the terminal support for them is just too
"   confusing and flaky.
"
" * Don’t suppress display of mapped commands for no reason; it’s OK to show
"   the user the command that’s being run under the hood.  Do avoid HIT-ENTER
"   prompts, though.
"
" * Avoid shadowing any of Vim’s existing functionality.  If possible, extend
"   or supplement what Vim does, rather than replacing it.
"
" We’ll start with the non-leader mappings.  Ideally, there shouldn’t be too
" many of these.
"

" Use backspace as an even quicker way to switch to the current buffer’s
" alternate buffer.  User nickspoons of #vim was incredulous that I had never

" character to be useless.  Instead, I remap it to be a lazy way of paging
" through the argument list buffers, scrolling a page until the last line of

"
" I always wanted you to go into space, man.

" I hate CTRL-C’s default insert mode behavior.  It ends the insert session
" without firing the InsertLeave event for automatic command hooks.  Why would
" anyone want that?  It breaks plugins that hinge on mirrored functionality

" from Escape or :stopinsert.  Even worse, people think it’s a *synonym* for
" Escape, and use it because it’s easier to reach than the Escape key or
" CTRL-[.  Terrible!
"
" Instead, I apply a custom plugin named insert_cancel.vim to make it cancel

" These are sometimes applicable in visual mode, and sometimes not.  We’ll
" start with the ones that only make sense as normal mode maps.  Annoyingly,
" a visual mode mapping for 'cursorline' toggling doesn’t work at all;
" 'cursorline' is always off when in any visual mode, including block mode,
" where it actually might have been really handy.

"" Leader,TAB toggles automatic indentation based on the previous line
nnoremap <Leader><Tab>

" The next group of option-toggling maps are much the same as the previous
" group, except they also include analogous maps for visual mode, defined as

" The next mapping is also for toggling an option, but it’s more complicated;
" it uses a simple plugin of mine called copy_linebreak.vim to manage several
" options at once, related to the 'wrap' option that soft-wraps text.
"
" It’s designed for usage in terminal emulators and multiplexers to
" temporarily make the buffer text suitable for copying in such a way that the
" wrapping and any associated soft formatting won’t pervert the text,
" including 'breakindent', 'linebreak', and 'showbreak' artifacts.
"
" This is really handy for quick selections of small regions of text.  For
" larger blocks of text or for manipulating the text as it leaves the buffer,
" it makes more sense to use :! commands.

" The above mappings show that mappings for toggling boolean options are
" simple, but there isn’t a way to toggle single flags within option strings
" with just the :set command, so I wrote a plugin called toggle_flags.vim to
" provide :ToggleFlag and :ToggleFlagLocal commands.  The first argument is
" the name of an option, and the second is the flag within it that should be
" toggled on or off.

"" Leader,a toggles 'formatoptions' ‘a’ auto-flowing flag

" This mapping uses my paste_insert.vim plugin to queue up automatic commands
" for the next insert operation.  It’s still pretty new.  It replaces my old
" paste_open.vim plugin which did this only for opening new lines, and which
