While fonts can be manually selected in GVim from the menu, I have a few preferred fonts I would like to switch between depending on the task at hand (small bitmap, larger OTF... etc).
Is there a way I can setup key-binding to cycle over a list of fonts predefined in my vimrc?
The basic idea could be something like:
" Define a list of the fonts you want to use, and the index in the
" list of the default font. See :help Lists
let g:fc_list = [
\ "DejaVu Sans Mono 9",
\ "Source Code Pro 12",
\ "GohuFont 11"
\ ]
let g:fc_current = 0
" Set default font
let &guifont = g:fc_list[g:fc_current]
function! FontCycle()
" Increment circular list. See :help expr-%
let g:fc_current = (g:fc_current + 1) % len(g:fc_list)
let &guifont = g:fc_list[g:fc_current]
endfunction
noremap <leader>fc :call FontCycle()<cr>
I have the following defined in my .vimrc file.
set guifont=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono\ for\ Powerline\ 10
So you can set that up as a mapping like this...
nmap <Leader>f :set guifont=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono\ for\ Powerline\ 10<CR>
Add additional mappings for other fonts.
