With pearofducs/ansible-vim plugin installed, following mapping behaves like `gf`, navigates to role under cursor's tasks/main.yml file. Ideal to be used in playbooks

au BufRead,BufNewFile */ansible/*.yml nnoremap <leader>gr :call FindAnsibleRoleUnderCursor()<CR>
au BufRead,BufNewFile */ansible/*.yml vnoremap <leader>gr :call FindAnsibleRoleUnderCursor()<CR>

Showcase:

Thanks for the snippet. But why are we having 2 au lines at the end. And some people, atleast me, uses yaml as the extention.

    au BufEnter,BufNewFile */ansible/*.y[a]\\\{0,1\}ml nnoremap <silent> <leader>gr :call FindAnsibleRoleUnderCursor()<CR>

I think this will support both yml and yaml
BufEnter will be more efficient than BufRead as we've to process only when we enter the butter.

@rjshrjndrn you are welcome!

But why are we having 2 au lines at the end.

First one is for normal mode, hence nnoremap; second one is for visual mode, hence vnoremap.

Thanks for the file extension addition :)

Stupid me.. Didn't notice the V in vnoremap haha.. Thanks though
