Verbosity

Provides mappings and commands for easily enabling verbose mode while working in VIM, printing the verbose output on newly created log files in a temporary directory.

This is especially useful for debugging just a few actions or auto commands while working inside the editor.

The default mappings (inspired by the style of Unimpaired) and commands are:

Mapping	Command	Description
[oV	:VerbosityEnable	Enables verbose mode
]oV	:VerbosityDisable	Disables verbose mode
=oV	:VerbosityToggle	Toggles verbose mode
goV	:VerbosityOpenLast	Opens last/current verbose output in a vertical split
doV	:VerbosityDeleteAll	Deletes all Verbosity generated log files

Enable and toggle mappings and commands can be prefixed with a number (e.g. 12[oV or :3VerbosityEnable) to set a specific verbose level. This level will be treated as the new default level for the rest of the session.

Installation

VimPlug

Add Plug 'mtdl9/vim-verbosity' to your ~/.vimrc and run PlugInstall.

Vundle

Add Plugin 'mtdl9/vim-verbosity' to your ~/.vimrc and run PluginInstall.

Pathogen

$ git clone https://github.com/mtdl9/vim-verbosity ~/.vim/bundle/vim-verbosity

Manual Install

Copy the contents of the plugin folder in its respective ~/.vim/* counterpart.

Configuration

By default Verbosity will create verbose log files inside a temporary directory, created using the tempname() VIM function. If you want to write the files in a specific directory, you can customize the following variable:

let g:verbosity_log_directory = '/tmp'

The default verbose level used if none is specified is 10, you can overwrite that with the following variable:

let g:verbosity_default_level = 5

You can overwrite the key mappings using the provided <Plug> maps, for example if you do not need the gV mapping in Vim you can use:

nmap gVe <Plug>(verbosity-enable)
nmap gVd <Plug>(verbosity-disable)
nmap gVt <Plug>(verbosity-toggle)
nmap gVo <Plug>(verbosity-open-last)
nmap gVr <Plug>(verbosity-delete-all)
