Verilog

Shortcuts

Configuration

C/C++

VIM can call your make command directly and point to the next compilation error. This works even with remote compile.

Shortcuts

Compile

Once you compile your program ":make", you can move across the errors

Go to the current error (first one if you just run make). This will print the gcc error

:cc 

You can go to the next error

:cn

Or the previous one

:cp

Align Code

If you use the align package, just try to align the assignments. Select the whole line (V), and align the code to the = sign.

V
\t=

Configuration

By default ":make" runs the make command in the current directory (:pwd). You can change as follows

set makeprg=gmake\ -C\ ~/build/qemu

In fact, you can even set a remote compilation in another machine.

set makeprg=ssh\ mada7\ \"gmake\ -C\ ~/build/qemu\"

Editing

Shortcuts

  •  :x - Jump to line 'x' in the file
  • yxy or xyy - Copy x lines to clipboard
  • dxd or xdd - Cut x lines to clipboard
  • SHIFT% - Finds a pair. For example, you want to find a match to the currently highlighted bracket.
  • SHIFT# - Searches for a word
  • gg - Takes you to the top of the page.
  • SHIFTg - Takes you to the bottom of the page.


  • Substitution
    :%s/'x'/'y'/gc             - Replace 'x' with 'y' on all lines (%) 
    :15,25s/hello/goodbye/g    - Replace 'x' with 'y' from between lines 15 and 25 inclusive
    :78s/hello/goodbye/g       - Replace 'x' with 'y' only on line 78
    Options for substitution
    g        Global -- Change every occurrence on a line, not just the first
    c        Confirm -- Ask before making each change

Configuration

Configuration file to have efficient editing.

set nocompatible      " Disables troublesome VI compatibilty
set title             " Sets the title bar to give the filename and path
set ruler             " Enables the location information in bottom right corner
set nowrap            " Disables text wrapping
set ignorecase        " Searches ignore case
set wildmenu          " Menu for autocomplete of filenames
set number            " Prints line numbers on left of screen

Color Scheme

Shortcuts

  • Change the current colorscheme
:colorscheme schemename

Configuration

  • This is a color scheme which I created for myself, but feel free to use it; works best on black backgrounds. ian.vim -- Screenshot -- To install, place the file in your ~/.vim/colors/ directory, (~/.vim/colors/ian.vim), and add the following line to your .vimrc or .gvimrc file
colorscheme ian
  • It is possible to set any file to highlight the syntax correctly for any filetype needed, by associating the filetype with a vim syntax file.
  • For Ruby Verilog, add the following line to your ~/.vimrc file. This will enable Verilog syntax highlighting in Ruby Verilog files.
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.rv set ft=verilog
  • For CUDA Files, you need to do one extra step. You will need to save this CUDA syntax file to your ~/.vim/syntax/ directory, and then add the following two lines to the ~/.vimrc file.
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.cu set ft=cu
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.cuh set ft=cu
