Introduction

fortran ide for vim. It is intended to make the coding with fortran easier and faster in vim.

Features

• An ide like environment for fortran 90+
• Supports LSP
• Increases development speed considerably.
• Easy to add new subprograms
• Auto completion of program blocks, like if-endif etc.
• Popup menu for standard and user defined modules and subroutines
• Support for menu mode
• Support for gnu-autotools (configure, make)

Install

The easiest way of installation is to use a vim plugin manager.

• Vundle

 Plugin 'rudrab/vimf90'

• vim-plug

 Plug 'rudrab/vimf90'

Dependencies

1. Modern vim, tested and developed with 8+. Vim must be build with python3+
2. Ultisnips: (Essential) Snippets.
3. language server protocol aka fortls: Highly recommended.
4. coc-nvim: Recommended to use fortls.
5. fprettify.

fortls and fprettify will be installed automatically if you enable the feature (see below.)

Options

There are several options to configure how VimF90 will work.

1. fortran_leader: Set your leader. Default is "`"
2. fortran_linter: Rudimentary linting (unless you use 2). Default is 1. 2 is preferred). Option 2 will install fprettify and fortls. -1 will disable linting. 3 will stop asking about installing fprettify and fortls
3. fortran_completer: Completing do, if etc. Default is <F3>.
4. fprettify_options: Works only with fortran_linter=2. Check fprettify --help for available options. Default is --silent.

N.B fortran_leader is different from <Leader>. <Leader> is a universal key for vim. Check your leader using :echo mapleader and :h Leader. By default, it's \.

Features

Default leader key used here is `. You can change this by using:

let fortran_leader = "your chosen key"

in your .vimrc.

Completions

There are two ways to do the completions. One is Inbuilt Completions and Completions using snippets

Inbuilt (completed using fortran_leader)

This is deprecated.

Full completions will be handed over to snips step by step. This also means, inbuilt completions related bugs will no more be fixed; rather snippets will be created.

if,do,select etc statements, that are closed by a corresponding end is defined here. after typing the first line, pressing <F3> will complete the construct. for example: you type:

trial: do i=1,10<F3>

you will get:

trial: do i=1,10
  <cursor here>
end do trial

Constructs

NB: this part is shamelessly copied from fortran-codecomplete

Statements

Some statements is included here for less typing. these are mostly one-liner or part of the line:

The <++> is a nice option, a <c-j> will put your cursor in that position. Use

inoremap <c-j> <Esc>/<++><CR><Esc><cf>

in your .vimrc for this feature.

Subprograms (completed using fortran_completor)

These key-combinations makes program and subprograms header. It supports program(`prg), module(`mod), subroutine(`sub) and function(`fun). The initiator ` can be changed using fortran_leader (See Options for more). For example,

`prg

will yeild:

!this is file : <your file name>
! author= <users login name>
! started at: <current time>
!
program  <filename>
implicit none
  <++start typing++>
end program  <filename>

available constructs

Snippets

Completions can also be achieved using snippets (Few snippets are supplied with this code, as ultisnips does not provide fortran snippets. More snippets are welcome!). if, do, do while etc is inbuilt. You should define your ultisnips trigger in your vimrc(<c-b> here).

This is tested for Ultisnips. snipmates comes with fortran snippets.

and so on. Please check vimf90/Ultisnips/fortran.snippets in your .vim/ for complete list. (Too lazy to type all.)

NB: Kindly consider submitting your snippets as pull request. This will help me enhance my snippets.

Linting (Controlled by fortran_linter)

Basic linting is enabled. So, when a operator is typed preceded by a space, e.g. A =B⌶, a space is automatically inserted, yielding A = B⌶. This basically enables python's pep8-like whitespace rule in fortran. You can enable/disable linting behaviour using

let fortran_linter =0/1/2/3/-1

where

• 0: linting as you write. But this will check every keystroke. Use cautiously. Mostly for testing purpose.
• 1: Default. Lint only when you save a buffer
• 2: Strongly recommended. Other options are there because I don't want to force you to install fprettify. This will automatically install fortls too. Modify fprettify options with fprettify_optios.
• 3: Stop asking you about installing fprettify and fortls.
• -1: Disable Linting.

Compile and Autotool Support

Some build and GNU autotool features are added. You can configure the options to your tastes.

Available compilation options

variables

• fortran_compiler: Set fortran compiler. Default is gfortran
• fortran_exeExt: Executable Extension. Default is ''. So, the executable of foo.f90 is foo
• fortran_fcflags: Compiler options. Default is -Wall -O0 -c
• fortran_flflags: Compiler options. Default is -Wall -O0

Keyboard shortcuts (Your current options are visible in menu)

• fortran_compile: Compile current buffer. Default is <leader>cc
• fortran_exe: Create the executable, without running it. Default in <leader>ce
• fortran_run: Compile and run current buffer. Default is <leader>cr
• fortran_cla: Command Line Arguments for compile and run current buffer. Default is <leader>cl
• fortran_dbg: Debug current buffer. Default is <leader>cd
• fortran_make: Make if makefile exists. Default is <leader>mk
• fortran_makeProp: CLA to make. Default is <leader>mp
• fortran_genProj: Creates a gnu style project structure. Default is <leader>gp

Menu

Menu is added for gui-help. it helps building project using gnu-autotool. Every fortran file will open with fortran90 element in the menubar. it currently has the option of compile(make, make clean, build current file), automake( a rudimentary configure.ac and makefile.am file generator) and programing blocks (as given in Subprograms).

Language Server Protocol

To enable language server, we need coc-nvim and language server protocol aka fortls. coc-nvim is a vim plugin, use your favourite plugin manager to install it. fortls is automatically installed if fortran_linter=2).

An example vimrc for fortls using coc-nvim is shown here

let g:coc_start_at_startup = 0
augroup coc
  autocmd!
  autocmd VimEnter * :silent CocStart
augroup end
let g:coc_user_config = {
      \   'languageserver': {
      \     'fortran': {
      \       'command': '${HOME}/.local/bin/fortls',
      \       'args': ['--lowercase_intrinsics'],
      \       'filetypes': ['fortran'],
      \       'rootPatterns': ['.fortls', '.git/'],
      \     }
      }
