I usually get this new window open up suddenly while I am editing a Ruby file in VIM. This is getting irritating because, i cant type in anything while its processing. And it usually happens arbitarily. Does any one here know which plugin could be doing this? Or is this somekind of VIM's process?
I have this same issue on my work desktop, but not my home machine. The setups are near identical.
While stalking down a possible cause, I noticed that when I leave my cursor over a Ruby symbol such as File
, Vim would popup a short description of the File class. After comparing all the various vim scripts and ri
-related files that I could find, I finally settled on the only solution that worked...
Open $HOME/_vimrc
and add the following line:
autocmd FileType ruby,eruby set noballooneval
Previously, I commented out a block in $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/ruby.vim
, but Brian Carper suggested a better solution of :set noballooneval
. I added the autocmd
line so it is only executed with Ruby files.
If anyone figures out a true solution, please contact me. :(
This is happening when you hit K
in normal mode.
K Run a program to lookup the keyword under the cursor. The name of the program is given with the 'keywordprg' (kp) option (default is "man"). The keyword is formed of letters, numbers and the characters in 'iskeyword'. The keyword under or right of the cursor is used. The same can be done with the command > :!{program} {keyword} There is an example of a program to use in the tools directory of Vim. It is called 'ref' and does a simple spelling check. Special cases: - If 'keywordprg' is empty, the ":help" command is used. It's a good idea to include more characters in 'iskeyword' then, to be able to find more help. - When 'keywordprg' is equal to "man", a count before "K" is inserted after the "man" command and before the keyword. For example, using "2K" while the cursor is on "mkdir", results in: > !man 2 mkdir - When 'keywordprg' is equal to "man -s", a count before "K" is inserted after the "-s". If there is no count, the "-s" is removed. {not in Vi}
If you notice, it's running ri
in the open window, which is the ruby documentation app. In Unixy environments, the help program normally runs inline, just displacing the vim output for a minute.
Is this using gvim, or command-line vim?
In either case, you can try monkeying with 'keywordprg'
to fix the popup
Or, if you can't train yourself not to type it, you can just use :nnoremap K k
to change what K
does (in this case, just treat it as normal k
command and go up one line).
