27 2. Usage *zip-usage* *zip-manual*
29 When one edits a *.zip file, this plugin will handle displaying a
30 contents page. Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop
31 the desired file, then hit the <return> key. After editing, one may
32 also write to the file. Currently, one may not make a new file in
33 zip archives via the plugin.
39 If this variable exists and is true, the file window will not be
40 automatically maximized when opened.
43 Different operating systems may use one or more shells to execute
44 commands. Zip will try to guess the correct quoting mechanism to
45 allow spaces and whatnot in filenames; however, if it is incorrectly
46 guessing the quote to use for your setup, you may use >
48 < which by default is a single quote under Unix (') and a double quote
49 under Windows ("). If you'd rather have no quotes, simply set
50 g:zip_shq to the empty string (let g:zip_shq= "") in your <.vimrc>.
53 Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "unzip".
54 It's used during browsing. By default: >
55 let g:zip_unzipcmd= "unzip"
58 Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "zip".
59 It's used during the writing (updating) of a file already in a zip
61 let g:zip_zipcmd= "zip"
65 If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine zipped files,
66 you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent
67 the zip plugin from loading: >
69 let g:loaded_zipPlugin= 1
73 ==============================================================================
74 3. Additional Extensions *zip-extension*
76 Apparently there are a number of archivers who generate zip files that
77 don't use the .zip extension (.jar, .xpi, etc). To handle such files,
78 place a line in your <.vimrc> file: >
80 au BufReadCmd *.jar,*.xpi call zip#Browse(expand("<amatch>"))
82 One can simply extend this line to accommodate additional extensions that
83 should be treated as zip files.

86 4. History *zip-history* {{{1
87 v24 Jun 21, 2010 * (Cédric Bosdonnat) unzip seems to need its filenames

89 * (Motoya Kurotsu) inserted keepj before 0d to protect
91 v17 May 09, 2008 * arno caught a security bug
92 v15 Sep 07, 2007 * &shq now used if not the empty string for g:zip_shq

95 v10 May 02, 2006 * now using "redraw then echo" to show messages, instead
96 of "echo and prompt user"

98 command being passed via :r! ... commands.
99 v8 Apr 10, 2006 * Bram Moolenaar reported that he received an error message
100 due to "Pattern not found: ^.*\%0c"; this was caused by
