28 2. Usage *zip-usage* *zip-manual*
30 When one edits a *.zip file, this plugin will handle displaying a
31 contents page. Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop
32 the desired file, then hit the <return> key. After editing, one may
33 also write to the file. Currently, one may not make a new file in
34 zip archives via the plugin.
40 If this variable exists and is true, the file window will not be
41 automatically maximized when opened.
44 Different operating systems may use one or more shells to execute
45 commands. Zip will try to guess the correct quoting mechanism to
46 allow spaces and whatnot in filenames; however, if it is incorrectly
47 guessing the quote to use for your setup, you may use >
49 < which by default is a single quote under Unix (') and a double quote
50 under Windows ("). If you'd rather have no quotes, simply set
51 g:zip_shq to the empty string (let g:zip_shq= "") in your <.vimrc>.
54 Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "unzip".
55 It's used during browsing. By default: >
56 let g:zip_unzipcmd= "unzip"
59 Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "zip".
60 It's used during the writing (updating) of a file already in a zip
62 let g:zip_zipcmd= "zip"
66 If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine zipped files,
67 you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent
68 the zip plugin from loading: >
70 let g:loaded_zipPlugin= 1
74 ==============================================================================
75 3. Additional Extensions *zip-extension*
77 Apparently there are a number of archivers which generate zip files that
78 don't use the .zip extension (.jar, .xpi, etc). To handle such files,
79 place a line in your <.vimrc> file: >
81 au BufReadCmd *.jar,*.xpi call zip#Browse(expand("<amatch>"))
83 One can simply extend this line to accommodate additional extensions that
84 should be treated as zip files.

87 4. History *zip-history* {{{1
88 v26 Nov 15, 2012 * (Jason Spiro) provided a lot of new extensions that
90 v25 Jun 27, 2011 * using keepj with unzip -Z
91 (consistent with the -p variant)
92 * (Ben Staniford) now uses
93 has("win32unix") && executable("cygpath")
94 before converting to cygwin-style paths
95 v24 Jun 21, 2010 * (Cédric Bosdonnat) unzip seems to need its filenames
96 fnameescape'd as well as shellquote'd
97 * (Motoya Kurotsu) inserted keepj before 0d to protect
99 v17 May 09, 2008 * arno caught a security bug
100 v15 Sep 07, 2007 * &shq now used if not the empty string for g:zip_shq
101 v14 May 07, 2007 * using b:zipfile instead of w:zipfile to avoid problem
102 when editing alternate file to bring up a zipfile
103 v10 May 02, 2006 * now using "redraw then echo" to show messages, instead
104 of "echo and prompt user"
105 * g:zip_shq provided to allow for quoting control for the
106 command being passed via :r! ... commands.
107 v8 Apr 10, 2006 * Bram Moolenaar reported that he received an error message
108 due to "Pattern not found: ^.*\%0c"; this was caused by
109 stridx finding a Name... at the beginning of the line;
110 zip.vim tried 4,$s/^.*\%0c//, but that doesn't work.
112 v7 Mar 22, 2006 * escaped some characters that can cause filename handling
114 v6 Dec 21, 2005 * writing to files not in directories caused problems -
115 fixed (pointed out by Christian Robinson)
116 v5 Nov 22, 2005 * report option workaround installed
117 v3 Oct 18, 2005 * <amatch> used instead of <afile> in autocmds
118 v2 Sep 16, 2005 * silenced some commands (avoiding hit-enter prompt)
119 * began testing under Windows; works thus far
120 * filetype detection fixed
121 Nov 03, 2005 * handles writing zipfiles across a network using
123 v1 Sep 15, 2005 * Initial release, had browsing, reading, and writing
