Vim: Call an ex command (set) from function?
- by sixtyfootersdude
Drawing a blank on this, and google was not helpful.
Want to make a function like this:
function JakPaste()
let tmp = :set paste?
if tmp == "paste"
set nopaste
else
set paste
endif
endfunction
map <F2> :call JakPaste()<CR>
However this does not work. I have isolated the broken line:
function JakPaste()
let tmp = set paste?
endfunction
map <F2> :call JakPaste()<CR>
Pressing F2 results in this error:
Error detected while processing function JakPaste:
line 1:
E121: Undefined variable: set
E15: Invalid expression: set paste?
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
How should I call an ex command (set) from a vim function?
This seems somewhat relevant however I still don't get it.
