Extended marks *api-extended-marks*
Extended marks *api-extended-marks* *extmarks*
Extended marks (extmarks) represent buffer annotations that track text changes
in the buffer. They could be used to represent cursors, folds, misspelled
words, and anything else that needs to track a logical location in the buffer
over time.
in the buffer. They can represent cursors, folds, misspelled words, anything
that needs to track a logical location in the buffer over time. |api-indexing|
Extmark position works like "bar" cursor: it exists between characters. Thus
the maximum extmark index on a line is 1 more than the character index: >
f o o b a r line contents
0 1 2 3 4 5 character positions (0-based)
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 extmark positions (0-based)
Extmarks have "forward gravity": if you place the cursor directly on an
extmark position and enter some text, the extmark migrates forward. >
f o o|b a r line (| = cursor)
3 extmark
f o o z|b a r line (| = cursor)
4 extmark (after typing "z")
If an extmark is on the last index of a line and you inputsa newline at that
point, the extmark will accordingly migrate to the next line: >
f o o z b a r| line (| = cursor)
7 extmark
f o o z b a r first line
extmarks (none present)
| second line (| = cursor)
0 extmark (after typing <CR>)
Example:
We will set an extmark at the first row and third column. |api-indexing| is
zero-indexed, so we use row=0 and column=2. Passing id=0 creates a new mark
and returns the id: >
