*ku* is a Vim plugin to provide new interface for Vim.  With ku, - You can choose many items from various sources such as buffers, files and   others.  This selection is very efficient, because ku supports it by   automatic and elegant completion, so that you don't have to type much. - Then you can take an action on the selected item.  Various actions are   available for each kind of items. To start a selection, execute |:Ku| or |ku#start()|.  |the-ku-window| will be opened at the top of the current tabpage.  The window is to select items and to do an action on a selected item.  In the window, - |ins-completion-menu| is automatically appeared to show available items.   As you input a character, the menu is updated to show more proper items for   the given input.   If you want to know how ku interpret what you input,   see |ku-pattern|, |ku-auto-component-completion| and |ku-prefix-expansion|. - If you find what you want in the menu, select it with <C-n> or <C-p>.  If   the first item in the menu is what you want, you don't have to select it. - Then you can take an action on the selected item with <Enter> or <Tab>.   - With <Enter>, ku executes the default action for the item.   - With <Tab>, ku shows a list of available actions for the item.  Each     action is labeled with a key to execute it.  If you type one of the keys,     the corresponding action will be executed.   <Enter> and <Tab> are just the default key bindings.  You can customize   them, of course.  See |ku-key-mappings| and |ku#default_key_mappings()|.   If you want to customize key bindings in a list of actions by <Tab>, see   |ku#custom_key()|, |ku-default-key-table| and |ku-key-table|. - If you don't want to take any action and stop to select, type <C-c> in any   mode.  The window is closed and the current tabpage is restored to the   previous state. In ku, a kind of items is called "source".  Some sources are available by default.  See |ku-default-sources| for the details.  You can write your own sources if you want to select and to take action on something which is not provided by the default sources.  To add sources, put the corresponding scripts into "autoload/ku/" directories in 'runtimepath'.  As scripts are put, ku recognizes them automatically, so that you don't have to reboot Vim.  See alsso |ku-sources| for the details.

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
vim-ku-0.2.4.1.zip	0.2.4.1	2009-05-29	7.0	Kana Natsuno	Bug fixes: - |ku-file|: Fix a serious bug which was mixed in ku source file version 0.1.3.  See |ku-file-changelog-0.1.4| for the details.
vim-ku-0.2.4.zip	0.2.4	2009-05-28	7.0	Kana Natsuno	Feature enhancements: - |ku-file|: Support to deal with files in archives.  See also |ku-file-changelog-0.1.3| for the details. Misc. improvements: - |filetype-ku|: Modify the default initialization on |the-ku-buffer|.  Old versions don't override existing key mappings.  New versions now override existing key mappings.  It is convenient for starters to use ku without any configuration.   For example, many people customize <Tab> to complete something in   Insert mode.  In such cases, old versions don't override <Tab> to   |<Plug>(ku-choose-an-action)|, but it's very inconvenient to use ku.   All key mappings defined by |ku#default_key_mappings()| are local to   a buffer, so that it's not necessary to avoid overriding.   Thanks to rphillips and other persons for reporting this problem. Bug fixes: - |ku#restart()|: Fix a bug that is caused by a change in the previous version.  As ku#restart() is called, the prompt character will be inserted many times.
vim-ku-0.2.3.zip	0.2.3	2009-05-22	7.0	Kana Natsuno	Feature enhancements: - Add |g:ku_personal_runtime| to customize where information such as |ku-input-history| to be saved. - Add |:KuReload| and |ku#reload()| to reload the whole system of ku. Misc. improvements: - Improve an error message. - Add tests, not perfect yet. - |ku-input-history|: Change the directory to save input history.  Use the first directory in the default value of 'runtimepath', instead of the current value of 'runtimepath'.  Because some users customize 'runtimepath', and the first directory in such values may not refer a directory for personal settings. Bug fixes: - Fix a bug that ku list the same sources many times if there are 2 or more source scripts which filenames are the same in 'runtimepath'. - Fix bugs that ku may be confuse if typeahead buffer is not empty at the beginning of a |ku-session|. - |ku#set_the_current_input_pattern()|:   - Fix a wrong description in the document.   - Fix a bug on the treatment of a given string.  If a given string starts with the same character as the prompt, that character is treated as the prompt and not a part of the given string, so it's not easy to set such strings.   - Fix a bug on the automatic completion.  The cursor position may be altered in several cases. See also: - |ku-source-changelog-0.1.2|
vim-ku-0.2.2.zip	0.2.2	2009-05-15	7.0	Kana Natsuno	Bug fixes: - Fix an assumption that the separator for pathes is "/".  This assumption causes unexpected behavior on some environments such as Microsoft Windows. - Fix a wrong condition to use 'shellslash'. Feature enhancements: - Add API functions to deal with pathes.  See also:   - |ku#make_path()|   - |ku#path_separator()| See also: - |ku-file-changelog-0.1.2|
vim-ku-0.2.1.zip	0.2.1	2009-05-03	7.0	Kana Natsuno	Bug fixes: - |<Plug>(ku-choose-action)|: Fix a bug that an error message is displayed unexpectedly, whenever a key which is not associated with any action is pressed. - Fix a bug that the current source name in |the-ku-buffer| is not highlighted correctly in some cases. - Document: Fix a wrong description on the default value of |g:ku_history_reloading_style|.  It is "idle", not "once". - |ku__source|: Fix a bug that it doesn't exist for items which are not completed by ku. - |ku-action-left| and other actions: Fix a bug that they don't close a window or a tab page created by them even if |ku-action-default| is failed. Incompatible changes: - Change the behavior not to take any action if an input pattern is empty and there is no item, because there is nothing to do in such case. - Change the specification on |ku-action|.  Now the function corresponding to an action must return 0 if it succeeds, or a string which represents an error message if it fails.  Old versions don't touch on return values. Misc.: - Refactor the core.
vim-ku-0.2.0.zip	0.2.0	2009-04-28	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Add |ku__source|. - Fix a few assumptions on path separator. - Improve the performance to complete items.  Now it is 10 times faster than old versions. - Modify the sorting order of items.  If an item contains any character of |g:ku_component_separators|, it is prior to other items which don't contain that characters.  For example, if there are two items "foo/bar" and "foo-bar", new versions put "foo/bar" before "foo-bar", while old versions put "foo-bar" before "foo/bar".  This change is to avoid selecting unexpected item with |ku-auto-component-completion|. - |ku-auto-component-completion|:   - Improve the conditions to activate.  Now it is not unexpectedly activated for some cases.   - Improve how many components to be completed. - |g:ku_acc_style|: New. Incompatible changes: - Change many points about |ku-sources| and |ku-action|.   - Sources for 0.1.x are not compatible with 0.2.x.   - |ku#{source}#gather_items()|:     - Change the naming rules about additional entries for each item: Old versions use "_{source}_..." and "_ku_...".  New versions use "ku_{source}_..." and "ku__..." instead.     - Add several rules on return values.   - |ku#{source}#gather_items()|: New API to implement.   - |ku#{source}#acc_valid_p()|: Change the default value if it is not defined.  Old versions always return true.  New versions always return false.   - |ku-special-sources|: Delete this concept.  Now all source scripts may provide more than one sources.   - |ku#{source}#available_sources()|: New function to implement.   - |ku-source-api|: Most of functions must take an additional argument about source name.   - |ku#{source}#event_handler()|: Delete.  This function is now split into the following functions:     - |ku#{source}#on_before_action()|     - |ku#{source}#on_source_enter()|     - |ku#{source}#on_source_leave()| - |ku-pattern|:   - Change the definition of "word" pattern.  Old versions use spaces and slashes as wildcards.  New versions use only spaces as wildcards.   - Add an assumption - see |ku-pattern-prefix-assumption|.
vim-ku-0.1.9.zip	0.1.9	2008-12-30	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Add |g:ku_history_reloading_style|. - Change the default timings to reload and to save |ku-input-history|.  See also "idle" on |g:ku_history_reloading_style|.  Old versions use "each", but "idle" is used instead from now on.
vim-ku-0.1.8.zip	0.1.8	2008-12-24	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Add |g:ku_choosing_actions_sorting_style|. - Change the sorting style of |<Plug>(ku-choose-an-action)|.  See also |g:ku_choosing_actions_sorting_style|. - Fix some bugs - see |ku-buffer-changelog| and |ku-file-changelog|.
vim-ku-0.1.7.zip	0.1.7	2008-12-11	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Include new source |ku-source|. - Change the default value of |g:ku_history_added_p|.  Now it also omits patterns for source |ku-source|. - Add |<Plug>(ku-choose-source)| and the default key mapping for it (see |ku#default_key_mappings()|). - Add |ku#get_the_current_input_pattern()|. - Add |ku#set_the_current_input_pattern()|. - Fix typos in this document. - Revise the internal stuffs. - Change |ku#restart()| to use the last inputted pattern and the last active source.  Old versions don't use ones if a selection is canceled by |<Plug>(ku-cancel)|. - Add |ku-action-selection| and the entry for it in |ku-default-key-table|. - Show an additional message while choosing an action for |<Plug>(ku-do-persistent-action)|.  In older versions, it cannot be distinct from a message either |<Plug>(ku-do-persistent-action)| or |<Plug>(choose-an-action)| is used. Incompatible changes: - Remove |ku-action-persistent|; use |<Plug>(ku-do-persistent-action)| instead. - Change |ku-action-cancel| - now it cannot be overridden, though it should not be overridden from the beginning. - Don't add the current input pattern into |ku-input-history| if the action to be taken is |ku-action-cancel|.  Old versions do add, but it seems to be unexpected behabior.
vim-ku-0.1.6.zip	0.1.6	2008-12-08	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Add |ku#switch_source()|. - Add |ku-action-persistent|, |<Plug>(ku-do-persistent-action)| and the default key mapping for it (see |ku#default_key_mappings()|). - Include new source |ku-history|. - Add |ku#available_source_p()|. - Change the default value of |g:ku_history_added_p|.  Now it also omits patterns for source |ku-history|. Incompatible changes: - Change the behavior of |:Ku| and |ku#start()| if ku is already active.  Old ones change the current source to the specified source.  New ones don't nothing.  Use |ku#switch_source()| to change the current source. - Change the specification of |g:ku_history_added_p|.  It took a single argument, but now, it takes 2 arguments.
vim-ku-0.1.5.zip	0.1.5	2008-12-07	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Show the information about |ku-input-history| in |the-ku-buffer|. - |ku#custom_action()|: Accept "common" for {source2} to specify an   action from the default action table for all sources.  For example: >   call ku#custom_action('buffer', 'xyzzy', 'common', 'tab-Right') < - Modify |ku-action-right| and other actions to refer "default" action   from the default action table of the current source.  Because they   may fall into infinite loop if user-defined "default" action refers   "default" action. - Add |g:ku_history_size|. - Add |<Plug>(ku-older-history-and-source)| and   |<Plug>(ku-newer-history-and-source)|. - Add |<Plug>(ku-history-source)|. Incompatible changes: - Change the format of value returned by |ku#input_history()|.   Now it is a list of dictionaries, not a list of strings.
vim-ku-0.1.4.zip	0.1.4	2008-10-14	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Add |ku#{source}#acc_valid_p()| to filter items for   |ku-auto-component-completion|. - Add |g:ku_history_added_p|. - Fix an error when input history becomes larger than its maximum   size. - Add a way to disable a specific action.  See |ku-disable-action|. - Set 'filetype' of |the-ku-buffer| to "ku". - Add syntax highlighting for |the-ku-buffer| and messages by   |<Plug>(ku-choose-an-action)|. - Refactor on minor stuffs. Incompatible changes: - Don't publish "User plugin-ku-buffer-initialized".   Use "FileType ku" and/or filetype plugin instead.
vim-ku-0.1.3.zip	0.1.3	2008-09-28	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Inconpatible change:   - For |ku-special-sources|, |ku-source-api| takes the name of the     current source as the 1st argument.   - |ku-SourceEnter| and |ku-SourceLeave| don't take extra argument. - |ku#custom_action()|: Add new way to specify {function}. - |ku#start()|: Add {initial-pattern}. - Show some information on the selected item while choosing action. - Add |ku-input-history|. - Add |ku#restart()|. - Add source-specific priority on sorting items.  See   |_ku_sort_priority| for the detail.
vim-ku-0.1.2.zip	0.1.2	2008-08-16	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Fix a bug in |ku-prefix-expansion| - it didn't expand proper prefix if there are 2 or more prefixes which have the same head part.  For example, if there are prefixes "ab", "abc", "abcd" and so forth, it is not possible to predict which prefix will be expanded for user input "abcd/efgh".  It should expand "abcd", but it may use "abc" or "ab" instead. - Add |ku-assumptions|. - Change the name of the ku buffer for Microsoft Windows to avoid unexpected behavior (see |g:ku_buffer_name| for the detail). - Add |g:ku_buffer_name|. - Improve |ku-auto-directory-completion|.  Now the feature is called as |ku-auto-component-completion|. - Fix a bug in |ku-auto-directory-completion|.  It may raise an error if user input contains a special character. - Add |ku-prefix-expansion|. - Fix |:KuDoAction| to check whether ku is active or not. - Improve the performance of |ku#available_sources()|. - Add priorities for |ku-sources-list|.
vim-ku-0.1.1.zip	0.1.1	2008-08-10	7.0	Kana Natsuno	- Add |ku-special-sources|. - Remove the feature to provide |metarw-schemes| as |ku-sources|.   This feature is implemented as a special source and it is included   in |metarw| 0.0.1 or later. - Fix requirements - ku uses |fnameescape()| which is added since Vim   7.1.299.  (thanks to id:thinca)
