SublimeManpage is small plugin for calling man utility from
Sublime Text 2 editor. Result is opened in new tab inside the
editor.
Plugin now works also on platforms other than Linux and OS X. Though in a limited way.
Install with Package Control.
Command Palette > Package Control: Install Package > SublimeManpage
Or clone this reporitory from github:
$ git clone https://[email protected]/apophys/SublimeManpage.gitPackage is shipped with default configuration prepared for C language - sections 2, 3 and 3p (system calls, function calls). In default, exact match is disabled. Exact match can be turned on/off from Command Palette.
You can edit the configuration in the user settings.
Preferences -> Package Settings -> SublimeManpage -> Settings - Default
Or
Command Palette > Preferences: SublimeManpage Settings - User
{
"sections" : [ "2", "3", "3p"],
"exact_match" : false
}If you need some other sections, just append the section number to this list.
The plugin now supports an exact match functionality. You can turn it on/off either
manually or from command palette.
Use Manpage: Open manual page option, from command palette or on OS X
key binding super + shift + m or key binding ctrl + alt + m on Linux.
This will pop up a form in which you can write the function name.
Another possibility is to use super + alt + w or ctrl + alt + w
on OS X and Linux respectively to lookup the word under the cursor directly.
If exact_match is set to true, plugin will open manpage for the first exact match
in specified sections.
On windows ((*) any platform other than linux and os x), manual page is opened in web browser. The plugin currently uses www.linuxmanpages.com. In this case, plugin does not support listing matching functions but opens first exact match according to sections as defined in settings.
If functions is not found, an error message is raised.
