[Feature Request] Add custom function support when create new file with `<C-y>`

[hiberabyss]

Is it possible to add custom function support like g:ctrlp_open_func for new file creating with <C-y>?

I would like to create files in some specific directories, and want to automatically add file suffix with custom function.

Thanks!

Hi, is there any comment on this idea?

[mattn]

What you expect the function? arguments, return value?

[hiberabyss]

Just like ctrlp_open_func with (action, line) as arguments should be ok.

[mattn]

return value ?

[hiberabyss]

Return value should be the filename to be created.

[mattn]

Could you please try this? #448

@mattn Sorry for the late reply, I tried to use the ctrlp_create_func with following settings:

function! CreateNewFile(action, line)
    echom "VimWiki Dir"

    return expand("$HOME/vimwiki/hbliu.wiki")
endfunction

let g:ctrlp_create_func = "CreateNewFile"

However, I got following error:

Error detected while processing function <SNR>272_CreateNewFile:
line   22:
E735: Can only compare Dictionary with Dictionary
E15: Invalid expression: s:createfunc != {} && has_key(s:createfunc, s:ctype)

g:ctrlp_create_func must be dictionary as same as g:ctrlp_open_func. see help g:ctrlp_open_func
