This article is part of the ongoing Vi / Vim Tips and Tricks Series. As a Linux sysadmin or programmer, you may do following repetitive tasks while coding bash shell script:
The bash-Support Vim plugin offers easiest way to do all of the above, saving lot of time and keystrokes.
The plugin was written by Fritz Mehner, who explains the purpose of the
plugin as: “Write and run BASH-scripts using menus and hotkeys.”
This article explains how to install the plugin in 3 easy steps and 8 powerful features of the plugin.
Download the plugin from vim.org website.
$ cd /usr/src $ wget -O bash-support.zip http://www.vim.org/scripts/download_script.php?src_id=9890
$ mkdir ~/.vim # if the directory does not exist already $ cd ~/.vim $ unzip /usr/src/bash-support.zip
Add the following line to the ~/.vimrc to enable the plugin for Vim editor.
$ vim ~/.vimrc filetype plugin on
When you open a file with the extension .sh it opens the file with header as shown below. This will also place the cursor in the Description field in Insert mode.
#!/bin/bash #============================================================ # # FILE: myscript.sh # # USAGE: ./myscript.sh # # DESCRIPTION: # # OPTIONS: --- # REQUIREMENTS: --- # BUGS: --- # NOTES: --- # AUTHOR: (), # COMPANY: # VERSION: 1.0 # CREATED: 02/14/09 15:42:08 IST # REVISION: --- #============================================================
To change the default value of the AUTHOR and COMPANY, add the following lines in ~/.vimrc
let g:BASH_AuthorName = ‘SathiyaMoorthy‘ let g:BASH_Email = ‘subscribe@thegeekstuff.com‘ let g:BASH_Company = ‘Open Source Corporation‘
Now, when you create a new bash script file, it will show the modified values for AUTHOR and COMPANY as shown below.
#!/bin/bash #============================================================ # # FILE: myscript.sh # # USAGE: ./myscript.sh # # DESCRIPTION: # # OPTIONS: --- # REQUIREMENTS: --- # BUGS: --- # NOTES: --- # AUTHOR: SathiyaMoorthy (), subscribe@thegeekstuff.com # COMPANY: Open Source Corporation # VERSION: 1.0 # CREATED: 02/14/09 15:39:58 IST # REVISION: --- #============================================================
Note: To add custom fields to the header, modify the
~/.vim/perl-support/templates/bash-file-header file and add your own
custom field.
For writing a subroutine, type \sfu in normal mode, which will prompt
for the function name (as shown in Fig1 below) and inserts the
subroutine with default function content (as shown in Fig2 below).
Fig 1: Type \sfu to add a bash function inside a shell script
Fig 2: Bash function added automatically inside shell script
For inserting a function header, type \cfu in normal mode, which shows comments as shown in Fig 3.

To add a frame comment, type \cfr in normal mode, which will give the following formatted comment as shown in Figure 4.

Short cut keys to insert statements are:
\sc will insert the case statements and places the cursor next to the case statement in INSERT mode as shown in figure 5. Like this you can use all the mentioned short cut keystrokes to get the appropriate statement in the table 1.

Code snippets can be read / written by using \nr and \nw respectively. The plugin comes with few pre-defined code snippets that you can insert into your code. Following are the default code snippets that comes with the plugin.
$ ls -1 ~/.vim/bash-support/codesnippets/ assert basename+pathname basename-function check-number-of-command-line-arguments create-tempfile create-tempfile-with-trap free-software-comment read-and-split-into-array timestamp usage-and-command-line-arguments.noindent use-file-descriptor-read use-file-descriptor-write well-behaved-script
To include the check-number-of-command-line-arguments code snippet,
press \nr and you will be prompted for a file name. Give the file name
as check-number-of-command-line-arguments and the following code will be
automatically inserted to the shell-script.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Check number of command line arguments
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
if [ $# -lt 1 ]
then
echo -e "\n\tUsage: ${0##/*/} File\n"
exit 1
fi
Note: You can define your own code snippets and place
it under ~/.vim/bash-support/codesnippets/. You can also build your own
code snippets from the existing code – select the part of code need to
be made as code snippet, press \nw, and give a file-name to it. From
next time, type \nr and the file-name to get your custom code snippet.
When you need to read help page for the bash builtins use \hh when the cursor is in the word.
In the following example (Fig 6), the read bash builtin command is
selected and \hh is typed, which displayed the quick-help on the read
command. Use the same method to get quick-help on all bash builtin
commands.

Following commands will add the corresponding keyword comments. For example, type \ckb to add the BUG comment line inside shell-script.
Type \ckt to add a comment line with the keyword “# :TODO: mm/dd/yy:: “.
This is basically a comment line that acts as a TODO, where you can
type the items that you would like to get it done later.

There are lot of powerful features in the bash-support Plugin. Read the
documentation for more information. The documentation is located in the
