2. Usage *zip-usage* *zip-manual*
When one edits a *.zip file, this plugin will handle displaying a
contents page. Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop
the desired file, then hit the <return> key. After editing, one may
also write to the file. Currently, one may not make a new file in
zip archives via the plugin.
*zip-x*
x : may extract a listed file when the cursor is atop it
OPTIONS
*g:zip_nomax*
If this variable exists and is true, the file window will not be
automatically maximized when opened.
*g:zip_shq*
Different operating systems may use one or more shells to execute
commands. Zip will try to guess the correct quoting mechanism to
allow spaces and whatnot in filenames; however, if it is incorrectly
guessing the quote to use for your setup, you may use >
g:zip_shq
< which by default is a single quote under Unix (') and a double quote
under Windows ("). If you'd rather have no quotes, simply set
g:zip_shq to the empty string (let g:zip_shq= "") in your <.vimrc>.
*g:zip_unzipcmd*
Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "unzip".
It's used during browsing. By default: >
let g:zip_unzipcmd= "unzip"
<
*g:zip_zipcmd*
Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "zip".
It's used during the writing (updating) of a file already in a zip
file; by default: >
let g:zip_zipcmd= "zip"
<
*g:zip_extractcmd*
This option specifies the program (and any options needed) used to
extract a file from a zip archive. By default, >
let g:zip_extractcmd= g:zip_unzipcmd
<
PREVENTING LOADING~
If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine zipped files,
you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent
the zip plugin from loading: >
let g:loaded_zipPlugin= 1
let g:loaded_zip = 1
<
==============================================================================
3. Additional Extensions *zip-extension*
Apparently there are a number of archivers which generate zip files that
don't use the .zip extension (.jar, .xpi, etc). To handle such files,
place a line in your <.vimrc> file: >
au BufReadCmd *.jar,*.xpi call zip#Browse(expand("<amatch>"))
<
One can simply extend this line to accommodate additional extensions that
should be treated as zip files.
Alternatively, one may change *g:zipPlugin_ext* in one's .vimrc.
Currently (11/30/15) it holds: >
let g:zipPlugin_ext= '*.zip,*.jar,*.xpi,*.ja,*.war,*.ear,*.celzip,
\ *.oxt,*.kmz,*.wsz,*.xap,*.docx,*.docm,*.dotx,*.dotm,*.potx,*.potm,
\ *.ppsx,*.ppsm,*.pptx,*.pptm,*.ppam,*.sldx,*.thmx,*.xlam,*.xlsx,*.xlsm,
\ *.xlsb,*.xltx,*.xltm,*.xlam,*.crtx,*.vdw,*.glox,*.gcsx,*.gqsx,*.epub'

4. History *zip-history* {{{1
v28 Oct 08, 2014 * changed the sanity checks for executables to reflect
the command actually to be attempted in zip#Read()
and zip#Write()
* added the extraction of a file capability
Nov 30, 2015 * added *.epub to the |g:zipPlugin_ext| list
Sep 13, 2016 * added *.apk to the |g:zipPlugin_ext| list and
sorted the suffices.
v27 Jul 02, 2013 * sanity check: zipfile must have "PK" as its first
two bytes.
* modified to allow zipfile: entries in quickfix lists
v26 Nov 15, 2012 * (Jason Spiro) provided a lot of new extensions that
are synonyms for .zip
v25 Jun 27, 2011 * using keepj with unzip -Z
(consistent with the -p variant)
* (Ben Staniford) now uses
has("win32unix") && executable("cygpath")
before converting to cygwin-style paths
v24 Jun 21, 2010 * (Cédric Bosdonnat) unzip seems to need its filenames
fnameescape'd as well as shellquote'd
* (Motoya Kurotsu) inserted keepj before 0d to protect
jump list
v17 May 09, 2008 * arno caught a security bug
v15 Sep 07, 2007 * &shq now used if not the empty string for g:zip_shq
v14 May 07, 2007 * using b:zipfile instead of w:zipfile to avoid problem
when editing alternate file to bring up a zipfile
v10 May 02, 2006 * now using "redraw then echo" to show messages, instead
of "echo and prompt user"
* g:zip_shq provided to allow for quoting control for the
command being passed via :r! ... commands.
v8 Apr 10, 2006 * Bram Moolenaar reported that he received an error message
due to "Pattern not found: ^.*\%0c"; this was caused by
stridx finding a Name... at the beginning of the line;
zip.vim tried 4,$s/^.*\%0c//, but that doesn't work.
Fixed.
v7 Mar 22, 2006 * escaped some characters that can cause filename handling
problems.

fixed (pointed out by Christian Robinson)

* began testing under Windows; works thus far
* filetype detection fixed
Nov 03, 2005 * handles writing zipfiles across a network using
netrw#NetWrite()
