[SOLVED] create command in vim

Hi,

I would like to create a command in the vim that saves a tex document and also compile it. Is it possible?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have these 2 in place (~/.vimrc):

Code:

" -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"  f5 -> Compile (gcc) written code
map <F5> : call CompileGcc()<CR>
func! CompileGcc()
  exec "w"
  exec "!gcc % -o %<"
endfunc

" -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"  shift f5 ->Compile (gcc) and run written code
map <S-F5> :call CompileRunGcc()<CR>
func! CompileRunGcc()
  exec "w"
  exec "!gcc % -o %<"
  exec "! ./%<"
endfunc

F5 -> Write file + compile using gcc.
Shift-F5 -> Write file + compile file (gcc) + run file.

Tailor the above to your liking.

Hope this helps.

And if I want a general compile method?

For example, if the file extension of my file is .c, I press F5 and I compile it with gcc, if the file is .java, I compile it with javac, if the file is .tex, I compile it with latex, etc...

Thanks,

I've found the answer:

Code:

autocmd FileType java       nnoremap <buffer> <silent> <f5> :!javac %:p<cr>
autocmd FileType cpp        nnoremap <buffer> <silent> <f5> :!gcc %:p<cr>
autocmd FileType c        nnoremap <buffer> <silent> <f5> :!gcc %:p<cr>
autocmd FileType tex        nnoremap <buffer> <silent> <f5> :!latex %:p<cr>
