Sorry if this is a misunderstanding, but do you have whitespace dumped in a file in order to start drawing with boxdraw? If I go into visual mode, I can only "select" areas where there is text within the file.

Ideally I'd like to open a new, blank file and start drawing diagrams immediately.
Maybe a vim macro to help? dump say 20 lines of 72char columns of whitespace?

how to create a rectangle without clean content inside？

That's it.

So this plugin does not work on xVim on windows.

Hi there,

This VIM plugin is so great, thanks for you work.
Can you support Line with Label?

Hi, awesome plugin.

It would be nice if this can remember cursor position, right now it resets the cursor position to the top.

Hi,

lately, boxdraw would empty my whole files after I used any of the boxdraw commands.
When using +O I can enter a label, but vim show the following message:

Shell returned 1
x lines filtered

My setup:

• vim 8.1
• Windows 10
• Python 3.6.5

Since I've run out of ideas why this happens, maybe you can give me a hint?

Best regards and thanks in advance
Thomas

I'm interested in adding some new functionality, are you interested in a PR for the following?

Double-lined rectangles

• +d is like +o
• +D is like +O

Except it produces

╔════════╗
║        ║
╚════════╝

Likewise for arrow and line commands.

If you're open to it, I'll do some more work on the proposal so you can give more detailed feedback.

Unfortunately this plugin is unusable now that python2 is retired.
