vim-pipe submits the whole buffer only

[randomizedthinking]

Then a user has to either open a new file or comment out other lines when working on different piece of codes. It becomes so inconvenient especially when working with a large file. I wonder it possible to add a keymap which will submit selected lines? Thanks!

The VimPipe() command that r maps to does take a range, which means this is trivial to implement. This is in my vimrc:

vnoremap <silent> <LocalLeader>r : call VimPipe()<CR>

I have certain SQL files with common commands that I want to run individually, not all at once, without having to comment out the rest. For those, I also override the range for the usual VimPipe() command:

nnoremap <silent> <LocalLeader>r :. call VimPipe()<CR>

(uses "." as the range, i.e. the current line, rather than "%" which is the whole buffer.)

@krisajenkins would you be interested in PRs for the following?

• Optionally implement the vnoremap based on, say, g:vimpipe_selection = 1
• Change the nnoremap to something like exec "nnoremap <silent> " . g:vimpipe_invoke_map . " :" . g:vimpipe_invoke_range . "call VimPipe()<CR>", with g:vimpipe_invoke_range having a default value of %
