    <p>A little something that could be borrowed from IDEs. So the idea would be to highlight function arguments (and maybe scoped variable names) inside function bodies. This is the default behaviour for some C:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9a4a4.png" alt="plain vim highlighting"></p> <p>Well, if I were to place the cursor inside <code>func</code> I would like to see the arguments <code>foo</code> and <code>bar</code> highlighted to follow the algorithm logic better. Notice that the similarly named <code>foo</code> in <code>func2</code> wouldn't get highlit. This luxury could be omitted though...</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/k23Hk.png" alt="func hilighted"></p> <p>Using locally scoped variables, I would also like have locally initialized variables highlit:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/JmHlw.png" alt="highlight &lt;code&gt;i&lt;/code&gt; inside for"></p> <p>Finally to redemonstrate the luxury:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/JSjEU.png" alt="luxury again"></p> <p>Not so trivial to write this. I used the C to give a general idea. Really I could use this for Scheme/Clojure programming better:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Q4RN1.png" alt="for clojure too"> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/J6amb.png" alt="inside let construct"></p> <p>This should recognize <code>let</code>, <code>loop</code>, <code>for</code>, <code>doseq</code> bindings for instance.</p> <p>My vimscript-fu isn't that strong; I suspect we would need to</p> <ul> <li>Parse (non-regexply?) the arguments from the function definition under the cursor. This would be language specific of course. My priority would be Clojure.</li> <li>define a syntax region to cover the given function/scope only</li> <li>give the required syntax matches</li> </ul> <p>As a function this could be mapped to a key (if very resource intensive) or <code>CursorMoved</code> if not so slow.</p> <p>Okay, now. Has anyone written/found something like this? Do the vimscript gurus have an idea on how to actually start writing such a script?</p> <p>Sorry about slight offtopicness and bad formatting. Feel free to edit/format. Or vote to close.</p>

    2. COIt is totally feasible for C/C++/Obj-C. I know that it is possible to use Python/Clang to get the scope of current cursor as well as signature of current function. Source: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/07/03/parsing-c-in-python-with-clang/. It should not be difficult to write a vim plugin with this.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
