vim-autorun

NOTE: This is very much a work-in-progress! It was mostly just a way to familiarize myself with Vimscript syntax, but I've found it somewhat useful for quickly executing code. I am continually updating it as I think of additional features or notice any bugs. For anyone who tries it out, I'd appreciate any comments, suggestions, bug information, etc.

This plugin provides commands for running Python and C++ files from Vim.

Commands

Running files

• :Run
  This command is basically just a combined version of :RunPython and :RunCPP. It recognizes the filetype of the buffer and calls :RunPython or :RunCPP accordingly.

* `:RunPython`
Saves the current buffer and executes it as a Python file.
* `:RunCPP`

Managing projects

• :MakeCPPProject {project name}
  

* `:SetCurrentProject {project name}`
