42header.vim

Add and update the 42 comment header at the top of your files

Installation

The $USER and $MAIL environment variables must be set (in your zshrc or bashrc file), unless b:fortytwoheader_user and/or b:fortytwoheader_mail are defined, in which case they are used instead.

Install with vim-plug

Add to vimrc file:

Plug 'pandark/42header.vim'

And install it:

vim +PlugInstall +qall

Install with pathogen

git clone https://github.com/pandark/42header.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/42header.vim

Stdheader plugin desactivation

42header.vim removes the autocomand set on BufWritePre by stdheader.vim plugin so that the header is not updated if the file has not been modified.

You can optionally add this line to also remove the command Stdheader from the same plugin:

delcommand Stdheader

Usage

• Type :FortyTwoHeader or use the key mapping you've assigned to it.
• Make some change to the file, then save it. The header will update automatically.

Key mapping

Add the following line to your vimrc file so you can add the header by pressing F1 key:

nmap <f1> :FortyTwoHeader<CR>

User-defined delimiters

You can use b:fortytwoheader_delimiters to set or override the characters used in the header borders. E.g. add support for Django templates by adding the following line to your vimrc file:

autocmd FileType htmldjango let b:fortytwoheader_delimiters=['{#', '#}', '*']
