luis jure

Set of tools for editing Csound files (.orc, .sco, .csd, .udo) with Vim: syntax recognition and highlighting, autocompletion, folding, macros, on-line reference and templates.

Csound is a free and cross-platform language for digital audio synthesis and processing. With around 2000 opcodes and a simple but powerful syntax, Csound is one of the most flexible and complete tools available today for computer music.

Vim is a much improved clone of the traditional vi editor, with lots of added features. Vim is free, very powerful and highly configurable, and runs on almost any operating system, including GNU/Linux and other Unixes, DOS/Windows and MacOS/OSX.

features

• syntax highlighting: opcodes and other lexical entities in Csound (variables, comments, etc.) are recognized an accordingly colorized.
• folding: folds are created from blocks of code (orchestra and score, instruments, user-defined opcodes and multiline comments) for easier navigation.
• macros: function-keys are mapped to macros that can be used to compile your Csound files and listen to the output, without leaving Vim.
• on-line help: an abridged version of the Csound manual is formatted as a Vim help file for on-line reference.
• templates: every time a new .csd file is created, Vim loads a template.
• autocompletion: a dictionary is provided for autocompletion of opcode names.
• manual page and examples: function-keys can open the manual page or the example csd for the opcode under the cursor.

These tools turn Vim, with all its editing power, into a simple but productive Csound frontend.
