Atom data-grammar syntax for keybindings - atom-editor

Can someone give a full explanation of the syntax for Atom's data-grammar attribute (used in keybinding selectors)?
For instance, what is the difference between
[data-grammar='source example']
and
[data-grammar~='source example']
?
Also, how do you specify multiple grammars? For instance, how would you specify that a key binding should be limited to html or xml formats?
If there already exists documentation on this somewhere, I have not yet found it, but would appreciate being pointed to it.

Quick Example:
keymap.cson:
"atom-text-editor[data-grammar='text tex latex']":
'f5':'latex:build'
Grammar Information & Documentation
I began by looking at the file-types package. source and text categorize languages - source deals with development languages, while text deals with documentation/logs formats.
You can add and customize language recognition by reading the flight manual. I've linked some specific sections below that are helpful for that.
Flight Manual | Basic Customization:
Language Recognition
Language Specific Settings
Working with [data-grammar]:
The little doocumentation given is listed under the Keymaps in Depth section.
Flight Manual | Keymaps in Depth
Selectors and Custom Packages.
This also describes the not([...]) functionality used below and how to manipulate various rules.
Although in the above, grammars are listed in a dot format, ie source.c, to use them in the [data-grammar='<name>'] format spaces are instead required.
An example of how I might use the data grammar option in my keymap.cson config is as such (here I'm using the latex package):
"atom-text-editor[data-grammar='text tex latex']":
'f5':'latex:build'
The ~ is not the correct syntax for desired functionality with data-grammar. Instead, use something like "atom-text-editor:not([data-grammar='<name>'])":
Note that you wouldn't use data-grammar in something like config.cson. The syntax for language specifics looks something like this instead:
# **config.cson**
".latex.tex.text":
editor:
softWrap: true

To complement Mr G's answer, atom-text-editor[data-grammar~='html'] with the ~= means match an <atom-text-editor> HTML element with a data-grammar attribute that contains "html" amongst any other possible whitespace separated words.
For example, if the current language of the file is PHP, then the text-editor HTML element will look something like this:
<atom-text-editor data-grammar="text html php">
And atom-text-editor[data-grammar~='html'] will match this.
More info on attribute selectors: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Attribute_selectors
As for trying to select multiple grammars, I don't think it's possible unless they share a common word in the data-grammar attribute, e.g., both HTML and PHP share "html", or both C and JavaScript share "source" (but in this case many other grammars share "source"). The only other way is to specify a keymap for each grammar individually even if it's the same key combination.

Why Juila module have to be prefixed with dot?

Why module using .A has to be prefixed with dot? It doesn't work if you omit the dot.
File ./A.jl
module A
export sayHi
function sayHi()
println("hi")
end
end
File ./Main.jl
include("./A.jl")
using .A # <= Why it has to be prefixed with dot?
sayHi()
Running, start REPL and type
include("./Main.jl")
Part 2
And if you move file A.jl to different location, like ../some-dir/A.jl it has to be prefixed to two dots using ..A. Why?
Because you define module A inside your current module. The dot means "look inside the current module for this". https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/modules/#Relative-and-absolute-module-paths-1
After digging it deeper - it seems like the answer is - don't use modules.
The documentation is wrong, it says
When in reality, the module usage is heavily tied to the location of files, it could be using Foo, using .Foo, using ..Foo or using Main.Foo - depending on the location of the Foo module relative to the file that imports it. In my personal opinion - something is very wrong with that design.
No support in the VSCode Editor, it doesn't understand using ..Foo. There are other ways to use modules, including altering startup.jl or JULIA_LOAD_PATHS - none of it works either. I assume nobody noticing these problems because nobody actually using modules.
Top answer on YCombinator - gives the same answer - the best way to use modules in Julia - is to not use it at all https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19232824

Atom - Force Tab Width 2

I just switched from Sublime Text to Atom in order to turn completely open source.
I have trouble with something very very simple: I want Atom to use always (!) and under any circumstances tab width 2 and replace tab with spaces. This setting is so simple in gedit or Sublime Text, but no matter what I am trying: When I start a new file, tab size is 2 (good!). When I use an existing file, tab size is sometimes 4. I find that a bit annoying.
My current setting in Editor are seen in the screenshot:
There is more than one tab setting
Each package (such as python-language) has its own tab setting(s). Whether the language uses the global default or its own default is up to whoever created the package, but you can generally override it.
In your screenshot, you have set the "Tab Type" to "soft". That will take care of using spaces rather than tabs. You have left the default tab width of 2. That is your global setting.
Now, if you look under "Packages" and search for "python" you will find a package named "language-python". Click on its settings button and you will find a number of syntax-specific settings.
Python Grammar
Python Console Grammar
Python Traceback Grammar
Regular Expressions (Python) Grammar
Each of those grammars has its own Tab Length setting. You can set them explicitly to 2 here to override the package's default. (You probably mostly care about the first one, Python Grammar.)
Python is different
In the case of Python, the package is explicitly configured to default to 4 spaces, probably because Python is very opinionated about whitespace, and PEP 8 recommends 4-space indents. You can see the default package setting here in the package's source:
https://github.com/atom/language-python/blob/master/settings/language-python.cson
'autoIndentOnPaste': false
'softTabs': true
'tabLength': 4
This overrides the global default. That's why Python Grammar does not honor the global tab width, the way that most packages do.
Sometimes there are package overrides
Additionally, certain packages will override your settings for syntax reasons. For example, language-make will override and use real tabs instead of spaces, because that is required by make.
In the case of Python, there is an override to use spaces. The language-python settings page offers a spot for you to change the indentation level, but it does not offer a way to switch to using tab characters. (That's probably justifiable, as tab characters and mixed indentation in Python are a very common cause of difficult-to-debug syntax errors.)
You might need to reload
Lastly, sometimes settings don't take effect completely until you reload the Atom window. You can use the Window: Reload command to do so. Or using the keyboard:
Mac: CtrlOptCmdL
Windows/Linux: CtrlAltR
This is what worked for me.
Disable all non-default packages
Open ~/.atom/config.cson, and append this (same level than the "*" element)
:
".python.source":
editor:
autoIndent: true
tabLength: 2
Re-enable all packages.
I got this help from someone else. Not my own discovery. However, for confidentiality, I cannot cite the source.
Based on soham's answer, I found that setting all tabLength: fields in ~/.atom/config.cson (assuming osx) to your desired length solved the problem.

Proper way to use FMap in Coq 8.6?

I am trying to use a tree based map in Coq, specifically Coq.FSets.FMapAVL.
I found this 4 year old question: Finite map example
Looking at the standard lib documentation referenced in the comments, I see this note:
NB: This file is here only for compatibility with earlier version of FSets and FMap. Please use Structures/Orders.v directly now.
What does this mean? When I google "Structures.v" or "Orders.v" I always end up at other documentation pages with related deprecation warnings.
What is the proper, non-deprecated way to use an FMap in Coq 8.6?
Since the OrderedTypeEx module is deprecated, we won't use Nat_as_OT defined in it.
There is Nat_as_OT in OrdersEx (just a synonym for PeanoNat.Nat), which is useful for our purposes.
Unfortunately, the following code
Require Import Coq.Structures.OrdersEx.
Module M := FMapAVL.Make Nat_as_OT.
won't work, because signatures OrderedType.OrderedType (currently used by FMapAVL) and Orders.OrderedType are not compatible.
However, the OrdersAlt module contains functors, which allow to build a module of one type from another. In this case, we are interested in Backport_OT. The following code shows how to use FMapAVL.Make, the rest of the code can be copied from the linked question:
From Coq Require Import
FSets.FMapAVL Structures.OrdersEx Structures.OrdersAlt.
Module backNat_as_OT := Backport_OT Nat_as_OT.
Module M := FMapAVL.Make backNat_as_OT.
The situation with FMapAVL was explained by Pierre Letouzey in this Coq-Club post:
the transition between old-style OrderedType and the new one isn't
finished yet (some work remain to be done on FMaps for instance),
and we cannot simply remove the old-style OrderedType.

ack - Binding an actual file name to a filetype

For me ack is essential kit (its aliased to a and I use it a million times a day). Mostly it has everything I need so I'm figuring that this behavior is covered and I just can't find it.
I'd love to be able to restrict it to specific kinds of files using a type. the problem is that these files have a full filename rather than an extension. For instance I'd like to restrict it to build files for buildr so i can search them with --buildr (Similar would apply for mvn poms). I have the following defined in my .ackrc
--type-set=buildr=buildfile,.rake
The problem is that 'buildfile' is the entire filename, not an extension, and I'd like ack to match completely on this name. However if I look at the types bound to 'buildr' it shows that .buildfile is an extension rather than the whole filename.
--[no]buildr .buildfile .rake
The ability to restrict to a particular filename would be really useful for me as there are numerous xml usecases (e.g. ant build.xml or mvn pom.xml) that it would be perfect for. I do see that binary, Makefiles and Rakefiles have special type configuration and maybe that's the way to go. I'd really like to be able to do it within ack if possible before resorting to custom functions. Anyone know if this is possible?
No, you cannot do it. ack 1.x only uses extensions for detecting file types. ack 2.0 will have much more flexible capabilities, where you'll be able to do stuff like:
# There are four different ways to match
# is: Match the filename exactly
# ext: Match the extension of the filename exactly
# match: Match the filename against a Perl regular expression
# firstlinematch: Match the first 80 characters of the first line
# of text against a Perl regular expression. This is only for
# the --type-add option.
--type-add=make:ext:mk
--type-add=make:ext:mak
--type-add=make:is:makefile
--type-add=make:is:gnumakefile
# Rakefiles http://rake.rubyforge.org/
--type-add=rake:is:Rakefile
# CMake http://www.cmake.org/
--type-add=cmake:is:CMakeLists.txt
--type-add=cmake:ext:cmake
# Perl http://perl.org/
--type-add=perl:ext:pod
--type-add=perl:ext:pl
--type-add=perl:ext:pm
--type-add=perl:firstlinematch:/perl($|\s)/
You can see what development on ack 2.0 is doing at https://github.com/petdance/ack2. I'd love to have your help.

Why do <C-PageUp> and <C-PageDown> not work in vim?

I have Vim 7.2 installed on Windows. In GVim, the <C-PageUp> and <C-PageDown> work for navigation between tabs by default. However, it doesn't work for Vim.
I have even added the below lines in _vimrc, but it still does not work.
map <C-PageUp> :tabp<CR>
map <C-PageDown> :tabn<CR>
But, map and works.
map <C-left> :tabp<CR>
map <C-right> :tabn<CR>
Does anybody have a clue why?
The problem you describe is generally caused by vim's terminal settings not knowing the correct character sequence for a given key (on a console, all keystrokes are turned into a sequence of characters). It can also be caused by your console not sending a distinct character sequence for the key you're trying to press.
If it's the former problem, doing something like this can work around it:
:map <CTRL-V><CTRL-PAGEUP> :tabp<CR>
Where <CTRL-V> and <CTRL-PAGEUP> are literally those keys, not "less than, C, T, R, ... etc.".
If it's the latter problem then you need to either adjust the settings of your terminal program or get a different terminal program. (I'm not sure which of these options actually exist on Windows.)
This may seem obvious to many, but konsole users should be aware that some versions bind ctrl-pageup / ctrl-pagedown as secondary bindings to it's own tabbed window feature, (which may not be obvious if you don't use that feature).
Simply clearing them from the 'Configure Shortcuts' menu got them working in vim correctly for me. I guess other terminals may have similar features enabeld by default.
I'm adding this answer, taking details from vi & Vim, to integrate those that are already been given/accepted with some more details that sound very important to me.
The alredy proposed answers
It is true what the other answer says:
map <C-PageUp> :echo "hello"<CR> won't work because Vim doesn't know what escape sequence corresponds to the keycode <C-PageUp>;
one solution is to type the escape sequence explicitly: map ^[[5^ :echo "hello"<CR>, where the escape sequence ^[[5^ (which is in general different from terminal to terminal) can be obtained by Ctrl+VCtrl+PageUp.
One additional important detail
On the other hand the best solution for me is the following
set <F13>=^[[5^
map <F13> :echo "hello"<CR>
which makes use of one of additional function key codes (you can use up to <F37>). Likewise, you could have a bunch of set keycode=escapesequence all together in a single place in your .vimrc (or in another dedicated file that you source from your .vimrc, why not?).
