vim-count-words

Display the count for every word in the current buffer.

Why?

I find it useful to:

• Detect duplicate words and do what I want that info.
• Get a gist of what a file/module is about.

Usage

vim-count-words provides the <Plug>CountWords mapping. Map it however you want to. Example:

map <leader>gc <Plug>CountWords

This binding works for both visual and normal modes.

Upon using the binding, you'll have to open the quickfix window to display the results, as so:

:copen

Settings

g:wordcount_threshold is used for setting a lower limit of the word count for a word to be displayed. By default it is 2. For example:

let g:wordcount_threshold = 2

g:wordcount_ignore_case is used for ignoring the case of the words. By default it is 1, i.e., the case is ignored. If 0, the case will not be ignored. For example:

let g:wordcount_ignore_case = 1

g:wordcount_descending_order is used for displaying the words in descending order. By default it is 0, i.e., ascending order. For example:

let g:wordcount_descending_order = 0

Installation

Use your favorite plugin manager. For vim-plug:

Plug 'jajajasalu2/vim-count-words'

TODO

• Write test cases
• Enable CI/CD
• Take care of exception handling
• Add a command, enable passing in user args to override default (g:) settings
• Add an ignore words list setting?
• Look into compatibility issues with Windows/Mac OS, resolve if any
• Write help files to read from Vim
