How can I use vim-slime to send multiple lines/regions, and can it be set up with lazy?

[FIREBAT-66]

Hi everyone, I currently have my setup set to this configuration, and I was wondering if anyone could help me make a keymap for the regions in the visual block mode? Thanks for the clarification, because I wasn't able to exactly figure out how to set the region "slurping"

return {'jpalardy/vim-slime',
keys = {
{ 'rc', 'SlimeConfig', desc = 'Slime Config' },
{ 'rr', 'SlimeSendCell/^# %%', desc = 'Slime Send Cell' },
},
config = function()
vim.g.slime_target = 'tmux'
vim.g.slime_cell_delimiter = '# %%'
vim.g.slime_bracketed_paste = 1
end,
}

Hi @ghostnation66

What are you trying to do exactly? Can you show some sample text and what you would like to happen?

Hi @ghostnation66

Hello @jpalardy , thanks so much for getting back to me! Say I have a julia file, and I would like to send lines 10 and 15 to the buffer at the same time to the buffer, (with the intent to avoid the equation). I was curious if that was a functionality that I can implement

Also, if I wanted to block send a bulk of lines, such as all lines from line 1-10, how can I perform that?

Thus far, I only have this mapping in a keymaps.lua file:

hi @ghostnation66

to send line 1-10, I would visually select those lines and use the regular binding (ctrl-c, ctrl-c)

to send content but filter out (if I understand correctly) some line, you might consider this workaround from the advanced use-cases. The idea would be to detect and remove lines (equations) from the payload before it's sent.

Thank you very much!

Just curious, but some of the mappings have a expression in them, could you clarify if this has a specific purpose to vim slime or if its for a packaging utility? I'm using lazy.nvim

which mappings?

I don't use lazy.vim myself, so I can't speak to those (if that's what you meant)

Hello @jpalardy , thanks again for helping me out! The way lazy.nvim works is it automatically performs a lua "require" in specifically structured directories, so I have a keymaps.lua file nested appropriately in my nvim directory so that the slime keymap gets registered

Apologies, as I wasn't clear on what I meant by mappings. I was particularly interested in the "advanced configuration" link, and found that vim-slime has awareness of delimiters:

let g:slime_cell_delimiter = "#%%" nmap <leader>sc <Plug>SlimeSendCell

I was curious if there was a way to map slime to do a "region send" (when I have text selected in visual mode) and use this mechanism to avoid sending lines between two sets of $$ $$ delimiters. I am using the mdmath plugin to render out mathematical notation on my files directly, but you can see here that they are simply latex block equations in disguise. The image below shows a split window with the same document, but my cursor is hovering over one of the equations in a pane, which is enough to expose it's raw text string (line 12):

You also mention vim-slime-cells, so I was curious if this is something I should familiarize myself with in the meantime?

[jpalardy]

Out of the box, vim-slime mappings are set so

• ctrl-c, ctrl-c, in normal mode, sends the paragraph under the cursor
• ctrl-c, ctrl-c, in visual mode, sends the selection itself

as for "cells" -- that's another way to do it, that's a relatively late comer to the plugin. The idea is that if you buffer already has delimiters, you might use those to bound selections automatically

Thank you @jpalardy! This works well for me! I'll continue testing in vim slime to see if there is anything else I encounter. Thank you for building this functionality into vim!
