Format your Python code

This plugin is based on https://github.com/rhysd/vim-clang-format. Thank @rhysd!

Requirements

• yapf command
• vim-operator-user(highly recommended)
• vimproc.vim(recommended in Windows)

Installation

Copy plugin, doc and autoload directories into your ~/.vim or use :packadd in Vim8. Or please use your favorite plugin manager to install this plugin. I recommend latter.

Usage

:Yapf command is available. If you use it in normal mode, the whole code will be formatted. If you use it in visual mode, the selected code will be formatted. It is more convenient to map :Yapf to your favorite key mapping in normal mode and visual mode.

If you install vim-operator-user in advance, you can also map <Plug>(operator-clang-format) to your favorite key bind.

:YapfAutoToggle command toggles the auto formatting on buffer write. :YapfAutoEnable command enables the auto formatting on buffer write. Useful for automatically enabling the auto format through a vimrc. :ClangFormatAutoDisable turns it off.

Customization

You can customize formatting using some variables.

• g:yapf#code_style

g:yapf#code_style is a base style. pep8, google is supported. The default value is pep8.

• g:yapf#command

Name of clang-format. If the name of command is not clang-format or you want to specify a command by absolute path, set this variable. Default value is clang-format.

• g:yapf#extra_args

You can specify more extra options in g:yapf#extra_args as String or List of String.

• g:yapf#detect_style_file

When this variable's value is 1, vim-clang-format automatically detects the style file like .clang-format or _clang-format and applies the style to formatting.

• g:yapf#auto_format

When the value is 1, a current buffer is automatically formatted on saving the buffer. Formatting is executed on BufWritePre event.

• g:yapf#auto_format_on_insert_leave

When the value is 1, inserted lines are automatically formatted on leaving insert mode. Formatting is executed on InsertLeave event.

• g:yapf#auto_formatexpr

When the value is 1, formatexpr option is set by vim-clang-format automatically in C, C++ and ObjC codes. Vim's format mappings (e.g. gq) get to use clang-format to format. This option is not comptabile with Vim's textwidth feature. You must set textwidth to 0 when the formatexpr is set.

Vimrc Example

" map to <Leader>cf in python code
autocmd FileType python nnoremap <buffer><Leader>cf :<C-u>Yapf<CR>
autocmd FileType python vnoremap <buffer><Leader>cf :Yapf<CR>
" if you install vim-operator-user
autocmd FileType python map <buffer><Leader>x <Plug>(operator-clang-format)
" Toggle auto formatting:
nmap <Leader>C :YapfAutoToggle<CR>

Auto-enabling auto-formatting

autocmd FileType c YapfAutoEnable
