Re: [tlaplus] Ability to use Vim keystrokes with TLA+ Toolbox?

Hi Markus,

I have failed to installed vrapper in the latest version of Toolbox (Version 1.6.0 of 10 July 2019)

on Ubuntu 18.04 following the instructions.

(It works for the 1.5.7 Toolbox on Ubuntu 18.04.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The configuration:

eclipse.buildId=1.6.0

java.version=11.0.3

java.vendor=AdoptOpenJDK

BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86_64, WS=gtk, NL=en_US

Command-line arguments: -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -console -consoleLog

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

Release: 18.04

Codename: bionic

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The error info:

- ./toolbox -console -consoleLog

- start org.eclipse.equinox.p2.console

provaddrepo http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/update-site/stable

How to fix this?

By the way, is there a plan to support vim "officially" in Toolbox?

Best regards,

hengxin

This is admittedly kind of petty, but I am having a slight bit of trouble navigating around the Eclipse-based Toolbox, as I use Vim keystrokes basically everywhere.

Traditionally when I've used Eclipse I've installed a plugin to give me basic Vim support, but I don't see an option to install any plugins in the Toolbox. Has anyone here figured out a way to do that?

Hi Thomas, Hi Yoriyasu,

while Yoriyasu's way to install vrapper obviously works, this way to install plugins has been deprecated by Eclipse and might break your Toolbox in subtle ways. If you ever run into problems, here's how you install plugins manually:

1) Start the toolbox from the command line with the two parameters "./toolbox -console -consoleLog" to activate its console

2) In the console ("osgi>" prompt), activate the functionality to install plugins: "start org.eclipse.equinox.p2.console"

3) Add the p2 repository a.k.a update site of the plugin, e.g. "provaddrepo http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/update-site/stable"

4) List the available "installation units" (IU) in the update site "provlg http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/update-site/stable"

5) Install the top-level IU with "provinstall net.sourceforge.vrapper.feature.group 0.72.0 DefaultProfile"

provinstall triggers a (modal) dialog in the Toolbox. Accept it and restart the Toolbox.

Cheers

Markus
