This system has been superseded by the new mode map code. If requested
in future, some code may be added to manipulate the active/passive types
in the mode map at runtime to provide the same functionality.
This option will allow users to fine tune when automatic syntax checking
is done.
The option should be set to something like:
let g:syntastic_mode_map = { 'mode': 'active',
\ 'active_filetypes': [],
\ 'passive_filetypes': ['puppet'] }
g:syntastic_mode_map['mode'] can take one of 2 values - "active" or
"passive". When set to active, syntastic does automatic checking as
usual. When set to "passive" syntastic only checks when the user calls
:SyntasticCheck.
The exceptions to these rules are defined in "active_filetypes"
"passive_filetypes". In passive mode, automatic checks are still done
for all filetypes in the "active_filetypes" array. In active mode,
automatic checks are not done for any filetypes in the
"passive_filetypes" array.
I'd attempted to find something useful in the sh/csh/tcsh man pages to
get similar shell redirection that &>/>& does, but it appears that all
fds are redirected, not just stderr and stdout.
This allows a particular file type to be disabled but still be checked
when desired. Useful for syntax checks that take a few seconds like the
puppet one.
Add the syntastic_stl_format flag and doc it under
:help syntastic_stl_format. This allows the user to control what
information is displayed in the syntastic statusline flag.
g:syntastic_auto_loc now has the following possible options:
1 or "full_auto" or "fully_auto" behaves as normal, closing the loclist
when there are no errors and opening when there are errors.
2 or "semi_auto" will automatically close the loclist but _not_
automatically open it.
Previously, the location list didn't get populated unless the Errors
window was displayed. As a consequence there is no way to use :lnext
and :lprev to navigate the errors. This makes it so that the list is
populated if there are new errors/warnings.
Add these:
:SyntasticDisable [filetype]
:SyntasticEnable [filetype]
[filetype] defaults to the current filetype.
Add functions to bind the commands to.
Add g:syntastic_disabled_filetypes option to specify which filetypes
are disable by default.
this is to stop the multiple syntax checking invocations that were
occurring when &ft was being detected as compound eg ruby.sinatra. i.e.
the ft was getting set as ruby, then another autocommand was resetting
it to ruby.sinatra, causing the syntax checking to be run twice.
