Plugin for use of cppman ("C++ 98/11/14 manual pages for Linux/MacOS" ) from within Vim

vim-cppman

Fork of BeomjoonGoh's vim-cppman which is based itself on gauteh's vim-cppman.

By default, :Cppman <pattern> opens result in a new buffer. The commands Cppmant Cppmans and Cppmanv respectively open the result in a tab, split, vertical split.

A plugin for using cppman from within Vim. cppman is used to lookup "C++ 98/11/14 manual pages for Linux/MacOS" through either cplusplus.com or cppreference.com.

Originally cppman uses Vim to page and syntax highlight the man page, but it is not set up to be used in buffer in an existing VIM instance. That is what this small plugin does.

This is heavily based on the existing cppman.vim which is used for the Vim pager.

Usage

The keywordprg and iskeywordsettings are automatically set for C++ and C files. Otherwise use the same keybindings as in cppman:

Move the cursor to the keyword and hit K to lookup the keyword in a new buffer.

You can also use e.g. :Cppman iostream to lookup a keyword.

Installation

1.) Install cppman

2.) Install this plugin using your favourite plugin manager.
