282. Usage						*zip-usage* *zip-manual*
29
30   When one edits a *.zip file, this plugin will handle displaying a
31   contents page.  Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop
32   the desired file, then hit the <return> key.  After editing, one may
33   also write to the file.  Currently, one may not make a new file in
34   zip archives via the plugin.
35
36   COMMANDS~
37								*zip-x*
38   x : extract a listed file when the cursor is atop it
39
40   OPTIONS~
41
42   							*g:zip_nomax*
43
44   If this variable exists and is true, the file window will not be
45   automatically maximized when opened.
46
47							*g:zip_shq*
48   Different operating systems may use one or more shells to execute
49   commands.  Zip will try to guess the correct quoting mechanism to
50   allow spaces and whatnot in filenames; however, if it is incorrectly
51   guessing the quote to use for your setup, you may use >
52	g:zip_shq
53<  which by default is a single quote under Unix (') and a double quote
54   under Windows (").  If you'd rather have no quotes, simply set
55   g:zip_shq to the empty string (let g:zip_shq= "") in your <.vimrc>.
56
57   							*g:zip_unzipcmd*
58   Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "unzip".
59   It's used during browsing. By default: >
60   	let g:zip_unzipcmd= "unzip"
61<
62							*g:zip_zipcmd*
63   Use this option to specify the program which does the duty of "zip".
64   It's used during the writing (updating) of a file already in a zip
65   file; by default: >
66   	let g:zip_zipcmd= "zip"
67<
68							*g:zip_extractcmd*
69   This option specifies the program (and any options needed) used to
70   extract a file from a zip archive.  By default, >
71   	let g:zip_extractcmd= g:zip_unzipcmd
72<
73   PREVENTING LOADING~
74
75   If for some reason you do not wish to use vim to examine zipped files,
76   you may put the following two variables into your <.vimrc> to prevent
77   the zip plugin from loading: >
78
79	let g:loaded_zipPlugin= 1
80	let g:loaded_zip      = 1
81<
82
83==============================================================================
843. Additional Extensions					*zip-extension*
85
86   Apparently there are a number of archivers which generate zip files that
87   don't use the .zip extension (.jar, .xpi, etc).  To handle such files,
88   place a line in your <.vimrc> file: >
89
90	au BufReadCmd *.jar,*.xpi call zip#Browse(expand("<amatch>"))
91<
92   One can simply extend this line to accommodate additional extensions that
93   should be treated as zip files.
94
95   Alternatively, one may change *g:zipPlugin_ext* in one's .vimrc.
96   Currently (11/30/15) it holds: >
97
98	let g:zipPlugin_ext= '*.zip,*.jar,*.xpi,*.ja,*.war,*.ear,*.celzip,
99       \ *.oxt,*.kmz,*.wsz,*.xap,*.docx,*.docm,*.dotx,*.dotm,*.potx,*.potm,
100       \ *.ppsx,*.ppsm,*.pptx,*.pptm,*.ppam,*.sldx,*.thmx,*.xlam,*.xlsx,*.xlsm,
101       \ *.xlsb,*.xltx,*.xltm,*.xlam,*.crtx,*.vdw,*.glox,*.gcsx,*.gqsx,*.epub'

1044. History							*zip-history* {{{1
105   v32 Oct 22, 2021 * to avoid an issue with a vim 8.2 patch, zipfile: has
106   		      been changed to zipfile:// . This often shows up
107		      as zipfile:/// with zipped files that are root-based.
108   v29 Apr 02, 2017 * (Klartext) reported that an encrypted zip file could
109   		      opened but the swapfile held unencrypted contents.
110		      The solution is to edit the contents of a zip file
111		      using the |:noswapfile| modifier.
112   v28 Oct 08, 2014 * changed the sanity checks for executables to reflect
113   		      the command actually to be attempted in zip#Read()
114		      and zip#Write()
115		    * added the extraction of a file capability
116       Nov 30, 2015 * added *.epub to the |g:zipPlugin_ext| list
117       Sep 13, 2016 * added *.apk to the |g:zipPlugin_ext| list and
118		      sorted the suffices.
119   v27 Jul 02, 2013 * sanity check: zipfile must have "PK" as its first
120		      two bytes.
121		    * modified to allow zipfile: entries in quickfix lists
122   v26 Nov 15, 2012 * (Jason Spiro) provided a lot of new extensions that
123		      are synonyms for .zip
124   v25 Jun 27, 2011 * using keepj with unzip -Z
125		      (consistent with the -p variant)
126		    * (Ben Staniford) now uses
127			has("win32unix") && executable("cygpath")
128		      before converting to cygwin-style paths
129   v24 Jun 21, 2010 * (Cédric Bosdonnat) unzip seems to need its filenames
130		      fnameescape'd as well as shellquote'd
131		    * (Motoya Kurotsu) inserted keepj before 0d to protect
132		      jump list
133   v17 May 09, 2008 * arno caught a security bug
134   v15 Sep 07, 2007 * &shq now used if not the empty string for g:zip_shq
135   v14 May 07, 2007 * using b:zipfile instead of w:zipfile to avoid problem
136                      when editing alternate file to bring up a zipfile
137   v10 May 02, 2006 * now using "redraw then echo" to show messages, instead
138                      of "echo and prompt user"
139		    * g:zip_shq provided to allow for quoting control for the
140		      command being passed via :r! ... commands.
141   v8 Apr 10, 2006 * Bram Moolenaar reported that he received an error message
142                     due to "Pattern not found: ^.*\%0c"; this was caused by
143		     stridx finding a Name... at the beginning of the line;
144		     zip.vim tried 4,$s/^.*\%0c//, but that doesn't work.
145		     Fixed.
146   v7 Mar 22, 2006 * escaped some characters that can cause filename handling
147                     problems.
148   v6 Dec 21, 2005 * writing to files not in directories caused problems -
149                     fixed (pointed out by Christian Robinson)
150   v5 Nov 22, 2005 * report option workaround installed
151   v3 Oct 18, 2005 * <amatch> used instead of <afile> in autocmds
152   v2 Sep 16, 2005 * silenced some commands (avoiding hit-enter prompt)
153                   * began testing under Windows; works thus far
154		   * filetype detection fixed
155      Nov 03, 2005 * handles writing zipfiles across a network using
156                     netrw#NetWrite()
157   v1 Sep 15, 2005 * Initial release, had browsing, reading, and writing
