Reformat Ruby source code in vim?

[John Lam]

I'm in the process of converting to vim from emacs to help save my
hands. I'm using the excellent vim-ruby gem to syntax color my code.

One thing that I haven't figured out how to do yet in vim is
reformatting source code. I do this in emacs via ESC-CTRL-Q . It's
really useful during refactoring when moving code fragments from one
place to another.


Thanks!

Hi,

gg=G works too, and it's shorter

Ah yes - I'm still learning about motions, as well as visual mode. Now
I just have to download this information into my fingers

One other thing - is it possible to syntax color a ruby instance
method in vim? I spent some time this morning tweaking my .vimrc to
color things the same way the Vibrant Ink theme in Textmate does, but
the Ruby syntax file in vim doesn't seem to attempt to try and pick
out method names where there's an explicit receiver (eg.
foo.method_name).

Thanks,

It would be interesting to see how textmate does this, cause I can't
think of a way to determine whether foo.method_name is an instance
method or a class method for example.

def foo.method_name... is always a singleton class method, isn't it?

To save my hands, I switched to using the dvorak layout and also to
using this keyboard: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/contoured.htm .
Highly recommended.

I am afraid it might be a class method

A class method is a singleton method on a class:
=> ["method_name"]

Not at all. That's why I said "singleton class" in the first place.

Hey man, all this singleton class stuff is just finally starting to
sink into my brain, don't set me back on the path to enlightenment!

I think I read you know.
Do you mean when defining
def Foo.x
it does not matter if Foo is a class or anyting else, the
"singleton method"
is defined on behalf of the "Object"?

I'm not sure I understood you here. What I was saying is, whenever
you see:

def abc.some_method
# ...
end

You can be sure that some_method() was just defined as a singleton
method of abc. This is often used to make "class methods" in Ruby,
but that's really just applying a familiar term to a Ruby concept.

It's always a singleton method being defined, as I understand it.
