" Name: ShowMarks
" Description: Visually displays the location of marks.
" Authors: Anthony Kruize <trandor@labyrinth.net.au>
" Michael Geddes <michaelrgeddes@optushome.com.au>
" Version: 2.2
" Modified: 17 August 2004
" License: Released into the public domain.
" ChangeLog: See :help showmarks-changelog
"
" Usage: Copy this file into the plugins directory so it will be
" automatically sourced.
"
" Default keymappings are:
" <Leader>mt - Toggles ShowMarks on and off.
" <Leader>mo - Turns ShowMarks on, and displays marks.
" <Leader>mh - Clears a mark.
" <Leader>ma - Clears all marks.
" <Leader>mm - Places the next available mark.
"
" Hiding a mark doesn't actually remove it, it simply moves it
" to line 1 and hides it visually.
"
" Configuration: ***********************************************************
" * PLEASE read the included help file(showmarks.txt) for a *
" * more thorough explanation of how to use ShowMarks. *
" ***********************************************************
" The following options can be used to customize the behavior
" of ShowMarks. Simply include them in your vimrc file with
" the desired settings.
"
" showmarks_enable (Default: 1)
" Defines whether ShowMarks is enabled by default.
" Example: let g:showmarks_enable=0
" showmarks_include (Default: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789.'`^<>[]{}()\"")
" Defines all marks, in precedence order (only the highest
" precence will show on lines having more than one mark).
" Can be buffer-specific (set b:showmarks_include)
" showmarks_ignore_type (Default: "hq")
" Defines the buffer types to be ignored.
" Valid types are:
" h - Help p - preview
" q - quickfix r - readonly
" m - non-modifiable
" showmarks_textlower (Default: ">")
" Defines how the mark is to be displayed.
" A maximum of two characters can be displayed. To include
" the mark in the text use a tab(\t) character. A single
" character will display as the mark with the character
" suffixed (same as "\t<character>")
" Examples:
" To display the mark with a > suffixed:
" let g:showmarks_textlower="\t>"
" or
" let g:showmarks_textlower=">"
" To display the mark with a ( prefixed:
" let g:showmarks_textlower="(\t"
" To display two > characters:
" let g:showmarks_textlower=">>"
" showmarks_textupper (Default: ">")
" Same as above but for the marks A-Z.
" Example: let g:showmarks_textupper="**"
" showmarks_textother (Default: ">")
" Same as above but for all other marks.
" Example: let g:showmarks_textother="--"
" showmarks_hlline_lower (Default: 0)
" showmarks_hlline_upper (Default: 0)
" showmarks_hlline_other (Default: 0)
" Defines whether the entire line for a particular mark
" should be highlighted.
" Example: let g:showmarks_hlline_lower=1
"
" Setting Highlighting Colours
" ShowMarks uses the following highlighting groups:
" ShowMarksHLl - For marks a-z
" ShowMarksHLu - For marks A-Z
" ShowMarksHLo - For all other marks
" ShowMarksHLm - For multiple marks on the same line.
" (Highest precendece mark is shown)
"
" By default they are set to a bold blue on light blue.
" Defining a highlight for each of these groups will
" override the default highlighting.
" See the VIM help for more information about highlighting.

*showmarks.txt* Visually show the location of marks
By Anthony Kruize <trandor@labyrinth.net.au>
Michael Geddes <michaelrgeddes@optushome.com.au>
ShowMarks provides a visual representation of |marks| local to a buffer.
Marks are useful for jumping back and forth between interesting points in a
buffer, but can be hard to keep track of without any way to see where you have
placed them.
ShowMarks hopefully makes life easier by placing a |sign| in the
leftmost column of the buffer. The sign indicates the label of the mark and
its location.
ShowMarks is activated by the |CursorHold| |autocommand| which is triggered
every |updatetime| milliseconds. This is set to 4000(4 seconds) by default.
If this is too slow, setting it to a lower value will make it more responsive.
Note: This plugin requires Vim 6.x compiled with the |+signs| feature.

Appendix

B. Using signs |sign|
C. Defining updatetime |updatetime|
D. Defining a mapleader |mapleader|
E. Defining highlighting |highlight|
===============================================================================
2. Configuration *showmarks-configuration*
ShowMarks can be configured to suit your needs.
The following options can be added to your |vimrc| to change how ShowMarks
behaves:
*'showmarks_enable'*
'showmarks_enable' boolean (default: 1)
global
This option enables or disables ShowMarks on startup. Normally ShowMarks
will be enabled when Vim starts, setting this to 0 will disable ShowMarks
by default.
ShowMarks can be turned back on using the |ShowMarksToggle| command.
*'showmarks_include'*
'showmarks_include' string (default:
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789.'`^<>[]{}()\"")
global or local to buffer
This option specifies which marks will be shown and in which order if
placed on the same line. Marks earlier in the list take precedence over
marks later in the list.
This option can also be specified as a buffer option which will override
the global version.
NOTE: When including the " mark, it must be escaped with a \.
For example to only include marks 'abcdefzxABHJio', in that order:
>
let g:showmarks_include="abcdefzxABJio"
<
To override this for a particular buffer with 'ABCDhj.'^':
>
let b:showmarks_include="abcdefzxABJio"
<
*'showmarks_ignore_type'*
'showmarks_ignore_type' string (default: "hq")
global
This option defines which types of buffers should be ignored.
Each type is represented by a letter. This option is not case-sensitive.
Valid buffer types are:
- h : Help
- m : Non-modifiable
- p : Preview
- q : Quickfix
- r : Readonly
For example to ignore help, preview and readonly files:
>
let g:showmarks_ignore_type="hpr"
<
*'showmarks_ignore_name'*
'showmarks_textlower' string (default: ">" )
global
This option defines how the marks a-z will be displayed.
A maximum of two characters can be defined.
To include the mark in the text use a tab(\t) character. A single
character will display as the mark with the character suffixed (same as
"\t<character>"). Specifying two characters will simply display those two
characters.
Some examples:
To display the mark with a > suffixed: >
let g:showmarks_textlower="\t>"
< or >
let g:showmarks_textlower=">"
<
To display the mark with a ( prefixed: >
let g:showmarks_textlower="(\t"
<
To display two > characters: >
let g:showmarks_textlower=">>"
<
*'showmarks_textupper'*
'showmarks_textupper' string (default: ">")
global
This option defines how the marks A-Z will be displayed. It behaves the same
as the |'showmarks_textlower'| option.
*'showmarks_textother'*
'showmarks_textother' string (default: ">")
global
This option defines how all other marks will be displayed. It behaves the
same as the |'showmarks_textlower'| option.
'showmarks_hlline_lower' boolean (default: 0) *'showmarks_hlline_lower'*
global
This option defines whether the entire line a lowercase mark is on will
be highlighted.
'showmarks_hlline_upper' boolean (default: 0) *'showmarks_hlline_upper'*
global
This option defines whether the entire line an uppercase mark is on will
be highlighted.
'showmarks_hlline_other' boolean (default: 0) *'showmarks_hlline_other'*
global
This option defines whether the entire line other marks are on will be
highlighted.
===============================================================================
3. Highlighting *showmarks-highlighting*
Four highlighting groups are used by ShowMarks to define the colours used to
highlight each of the marks.
- ShowMarksHLl : This group is used to highlight all the lowercase marks.
- ShowMarksHLu : This group is used to highlight all the uppercase marks.
- ShowMarksHLo : This group is used to highlight all other marks.
- ShowMarksHLm : This group is used when multiple marks are on the same line.
You can define your own highlighting by overriding these groups in your |vimrc|.
For example: >
highlight ShowMarksHLl guifg=red guibg=green
<
Will set all lowercase marks to be red on green when running in GVim.
See |highlight| for more information.
===============================================================================
4. Mappings *showmarks-mappings*
The following mappings are setup by default:
<Leader>mt - Toggles ShowMarks on and off.
<Leader>mo - Forces ShowMarks on.
<Leader>mh - Clears the mark at the current line.
<Leader>ma - Clears all marks in the current buffer.
<Leader>mm - Places the next available mark on the current line.
(see |mapleader| for how to setup the mapleader variable.)
===============================================================================
5. Commands *showmarks-commands*
*ShowMarksToggle*
:ShowMarksToggle

It doesn't actually remove the mark, it simply moves it to line 1 and
removes the sign.

It doesn't actually remove the marks, it simply moves them to line 1 and
removes the signs.
