Add custome "<Plug>Pulse" maps

[juanMarinero]

1st of all, I'm a beginner with VIM, so the following ads are focused on VIM users of my skill-level, and might be obvious to experts, and therefore unnecessary rubbish to add to the docu, that's ok.

After reading the plug-in-docu, specially this paragraph

Otherwise the plugin will do the following for you:

nmap n n<Plug>Pulse
nmap N N<Plug>Pulse
nmap * *<Plug>Pulse
[...]

I realized I could remap all jumps, adding <Plug>Pulse to them. May I request to show any of this examples, in a new mini-section of your nice docu? please. Something like: And take advantage of<Plug>Pulse, use it anywhere your imagination leads you to! E.g.

" Pulse after jump with Ctrl-I or Ctrl-O 
nmap <C-O> <C-O><Plug>Pulse
nmap <C-I> <C-I><Plug>Pulse
" pulse current line
nmap <leader>p' <Plug>Pulse
" change line
nmap gg gg<Plug>Pulse
nmap G G<Plug>Pulse
" matching brackets
nmap % %<Plug>Pulse
" Pulse after any jump motion. There is NO autocmd for jumping 'a to 'z, thus I must remap all:
nmap `a `a<Plug>Pulse
nmap `b `b<Plug>Pulse

And I'd love to hear from more ideas where to use it.

Also, in long term, it would be nice if the plug-in had an option to auto-remap any jump (if some plugin-boolean set), not only the search-jumps already implemented. Remaps 'a till 'Z, `a till `Z are like 26x2x2, also 10x2 for digits marks. A lot! Or even more: VIM-mark-help.

PD: Anyone willing to comment, careful: GitHub has no raw text block, it overrides backtick (`), but not apostrophe ('). Check solution here.

Related to jumps, and therefore I think in this issue is ok: I propose to add further related links in plugin-in docu.

• Basic knowledge: cursorline vs cursorcolumn
• Vim documentation: motion
• [Trending] Plug-ins dealing/related to marks, like: vim-signature.

In my opinion, the potential of this great Plug-in is focussing in all jumps, and not only in searching ones.

Hi Juan,

The mappings you are proposing are awesome! I didn't even realize we could take it this far. Yes please, feel free to open a PR to add your ideas and links. Thank you :+1:

[juanMarinero]

Hi @inside , I'm glad you find it a good proposal. I am stating with VIM, with vimscript I am mostly "try and failure" hehe. I mean, if I pull code, I will make you and the pros waste your time correcting it, when you or another supporter can from scratch make it much better. Sorry.

I think we shall let this issue open for a while, and do nothing if NO further people are interested in this upgrade (auto-remap any jump).

[juanMarinero]

Anyway, it's not vital upgrade, so if anyone interested can just copy following code to ~/.vimrc. Notes of following code:

• it's adapted for spanish keyboard, where backtick (`) takes 2 times pressing a key, while apostrophe (') just one. But apostrophe is what I desire, i.e. char in line, and not beginning of line.
• un/foldings are not jumps, so <Plug>Pulse does not work with them. I comment that also in the code, that things like nmap zv zv<Esc><Plug>Pulse do not work.
• In jumps to marks in other buffers (capital letter), in those it does not work the <Plug>Pulse. In code I show a workaround which highlight whole line of that mark. Actually it highlights all strings like those in that line, i.e. a search. It's ugly workaround, I know, but it works (for now). And it opens the :buffers so you can return to the buffer you were before the jump.

Sorry for miss-match issue-topic, but in previous comment I said folding and Plug-Pulse are NO match, I think I was wrong, and the solution could be like this (I just re-read the docu and I'm testing it):

augroup Pulse
    autocmd! User PrePulse
    autocmd! User PostPulse
    autocmd  User PrePulse  execute "normal zv"
augroup END
