Coqtail enables interactive Coq proof development in Vim similar to CoqIDE or ProofGeneral.
It supports:
- Coq 8.4 - 8.12
- Python 21 and 3
- Vim >=7.4 and Neovim >=0.3
- Simultaneous Coq sessions in different buffers
- Non-blocking communication between Vim and Coq (Vim >=8.0 and NeoVim only)
As a vim package:
mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/coq/start
git clone https://github.com/whonore/Coqtail.git ~/.vim/pack/coq/start/Coqtail
vim +helptags\ ~/.vim/pack/coq/start/Coqtail/doc +q
Using pathogen:
git clone https://github.com/whonore/Coqtail.git ~/.vim/bundle/Coqtail
vim +Helptags +q
Using Vundle:
Plugin 'whonore/Coqtail' (add this line in .vimrc)
vim +PluginInstall +qa
Using VimPlug:
Plug 'whonore/Coqtail' (add this line in .vimrc)
vim +PlugInstall +qa
Requirements:
- Vim compiled with either
+python
1 or+python3
- Vim configuration options
filetype plugin on
, and optionallyfiletype indent on
andsyntax on
(e.g. in.vimrc
) - Coq 8.4 - 8.12
- The
python3-distutils
package.
Newer versions of Coq have not yet been tested, but should still work as long
as there are no major changes made to the XML protocol Coqtail uses to
communicate with coqtop
.
Coqtail provides the following commands (see :help coqtail
for more details):
Command | Mapping | Description |
---|---|---|
Starting and Stopping | ||
CoqStart |
<leader>cc |
Launch Coqtail in the current buffer. |
CoqStop |
<leader>cq |
Quit Coqtail in the current buffer. |
CoqInterrupt |
CTRL-C |
Send SIGINT to coqtop . |
Movement | ||
{n}CoqNext |
<leader>cj |
Send the next n (1 by default) sentences to Coq. |
{n}CoqUndo |
<leader>ck |
Step back n (1 by default) sentences. |
{n}CoqToLine |
<leader>cl |
Send/rewind all sentences up to line n (cursor position by default). n can also be $ to check the entire buffer. |
CoqToTop |
<leader>cT |
Rewind to the beginning of the file. |
CoqJumpToEnd |
<leader>cG |
Move the cursor to the end of the checked region. |
CoqGotoDef[!] <arg> |
<leader>cg |
Populate the quickfix list with possible locations of the definition of <arg> and try to jump to the first one. If your Vim supports 'tagfunc' you can also use CTRL-] , :tag , and friends. |
Queries | ||
Coq <args> |
Send arbitrary queries to Coq (e.g. Check , About , Print , etc.). |
|
Coq Check <arg> |
<leader>ch |
Show the type of <arg> (the mapping will use the term under the cursor or the highlighted range in visual mode). |
Coq About <arg> |
<leader>ca |
Show information about <arg> . |
Coq Print <arg> |
<leader>cp |
Show the definition of <arg> . |
Coq Locate <arg> |
<leader>cf |
Show where <arg> is defined. |
Coq Search <args> |
<leader>cs |
Show theorems about <args> . |
Panel Management | ||
CoqRestorePanels |
<leader>cr |
Re-open the Goal and Info panels. |
{n}CoqGotoGoal |
<leader>cgg |
Scroll the Goal panel to the start of the n th goal (defaults to 1). Number of lines shown is controlled by g:coqtail_goal_lines . |
{n}CoqGotoGoal! |
<leader>cGG |
Scroll the Goal panel to the end of the n th goal. |
CoqGotoGoalNext |
g] |
Scroll the Goal panel to the start of the next goal. |
CoqGotoGoalNext! |
G] |
Scroll the Goal panel to the end of the next goal. |
CoqGotoGoalPrev |
g[ |
Scroll the Goal panel to the start of the previous goal. |
CoqGotoGoalPrev! |
G[ |
Scroll the Goal panel to the end of the previous goal. |
The mappings above are set by default, but you can disable them all and define
your own by setting g:coqtail_nomap = 1
in your .vimrc
.
Some of the commands, such as CoqNext
, also have insert-mode mappings by
default, which can be disabled with g:coqtail_noimap
.
Alternatively, you can keep the defaults but remap specific commands.
For example, use map <leader>ci <Plug>CoqInterrupt
to avoid hijacking CTRL-C
.
The <leader>c
prefix may be inconvenient depending on your mapleader
setting.
In that case you can set a custom prefix with g:coqtail_map_prefix
(or
g:coqtail_imap_prefix
for just insert-mode mappings).
By default Coqtail uses the first coq(ide)top(.opt)
found in your PATH
.
Use b:coqtail_coq_path
(or g:coqtail_coq_path
) to specify a different
directory to search in.
You can also override the name of the Coq executable to use with
b:coqtail_coq_prog
(or g:coqtail_coq_prog
).
For example, to use the HoTT library:
let b:coqtail_coq_path = '/path/to/HoTT'
let b:coqtail_coq_prog = 'hoqidetop'
Coqtail understands and will search for _CoqProject
files on :CoqStart
.
Additional or different project files can be specified with g:coqtail_project_files
.
For example, to include arguments from both _CoqProject
and _CoqProject.local
:
let g:coqtail_project_files = ['_CoqProject', '_CoqProject.local']
Coqtail also comes with an ftdetect script for Coq, as well as modified
versions of Vincent Aravantinos' syntax and indent scripts for Coq.
These scripts are used by default but can be disabled by setting
g:coqtail_nosyntax = 1
and g:coqtail_noindent = 1
respectively.
Formatting of comments can be disabled with g:coqtail_noindent_comment
.
See :help coqtail-configuration
for more configuration variables.
Coqtail defines b:match_words
patterns to support jumping between matched
text with %
using the matchup or matchit plugins.
Coqtail defines patterns to enable automatic insertion of the appropriate End
command for code blocks such as Section
s, Module
s, and match
expressions
with endwise.
Parts of Coqtail were originally inspired by/adapted from Coquille (MIT License, Copyright (c) 2013, Thomas Refis).
Because Python 2 has reached its end-of-life and supporting it alongside Python 3 makes it difficult to improve and maintain the code, Coqtail will drop support for Python 2 in the near future. At that time a stable version will be tagged and all future versions will be Python 3-only. See YouCompleteMe for help building Vim with Python 3 support.
