Configuration & Use

Setup

-- options shown with default values
require("paperplanes").setup({
  register = "+",
  provider = "0x0.st",
  provider_options = {},
  notifier = vim.notify or print,
})

• register - any valid register name or false
• provider - See provider list.
• provider_options - passed to selected provider, check provider code for accepted options.
• notifier - any function that accepts a string, should show that string in some way.

Commands

Post selection or buffer to configured provider, sets configured register and print's the result.

• :PP -> Post current buffer.

• :[range]PP -> Post range.

  • Vim does not support column aware ranges when using commands. Use post_selection via a map for that behaviour.

Functions

See :h paperplanes for more complete documentation.

Functions are provided in snake_case and kebab-case (post_string and post-string).

All functions accept a callback argument which is called with url, nil or nil, errors.

provider-name and provider-options are optional and the default provider will be used if not given.

Functions to not automatically print the url or set any registers.

• post_string(content, metadata, callback, provider-name, provider-options)
• post_range(buffer, start_pos, end_pos, callback, provider-name, provider-options)
• post_selection(callback, provider-name, provider-options)
• post_buffer(buffer, callback, provider-name, provider-options)
