== A better GNU Octave syntax file == | |||
As for now, VIM hasn't a dedicated, officially distributed filetype for GNU Octave. The community agreed the best solution is to use [http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3600 octave.vim] by Rik. All the instructions for installing it can be found on the hyperlink. | |||
== Accessing GNU Octave info == | |||
GNU Octave info package can be found in almost all Linux distributions. For installing it under Ubuntu, you can type: | |||
$ sudo apt-get install octave<version>-info | |||
where {{Codeline|<version>}} must be substituted by the appropriate string. Add the following line to your {{Path|~/.vimrc}} file: | |||
autocmd FileType matlab setlocal keywordprg=info\ octave\ --vi-keys\ --index-search | |||
Now, when editing a {{Path|*.m}} file, you can type {{Key|K}} in normal mode and the word under the cursor will be searched for in the GNU Octave documentation index. Pressing {{Key|,}} yields the next occurrence. | |||
'''OBS:''' If using the Rik's [http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3600 octave.vim] syntax, replace {{Codeline|matlab}} by {{Codeline|octave}}. | |||
