copied!<p>After trying @hobbs answer I noticed that when filtering the entire buffer through <code>perltidy</code> the cursor returned to byte 1, and I had to make a mental note of the original line number so I could go back after <code>:Tidy</code> completed.</p> <p>So building on @hobbs' and @Ignacio's answers, I added the following to my <code>.vimrc</code>:</p> <pre><code>"define :Tidy command to run perltidy on visual selection || entire buffer" command -range=% -nargs=* Tidy <line1>,<line2>!perltidy "run :Tidy on entire buffer and return cursor to (approximate) original position" fun DoTidy() let l = line(".") let c = col(".") :Tidy call cursor(l, c) endfun "shortcut for normal mode to run on entire buffer then return to current line" au Filetype perl nmap <F2> :call DoTidy()<CR> "shortcut for visual mode to run on the the current visual selection" au Filetype perl vmap <F2> :Tidy<CR> </code></pre> <p>(closing <code>"</code> added to comments for SO syntax highlighting purposes (not required, but valid vim syntax))</p> <p><code>DoTidy()</code> will return the cursor to its original position plus or minus at most <code>X</code> bytes, where <code>X</code> is the number of bytes added/removed by <code>perltidy</code> relative to the original cursor position. But this is fairly trivial as long as you keep things tidy :).</p> <p>[Vim version: 7.2]</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Updated <code>DoTidy()</code> to incorporate @mikew's comment for readability and for compatibility with Vim 7.0</p>
