Right now, we can open session.log.gz
file in gvim from the command line and it will unzip automatically & will
show correct contents of the session.log whereas if you try to open the
same file from gvim editor itself, it won’t unzip.
If you add the following code to your .vimrc, it will fix
that problem.
:augroup gzip
: autocmd!
: autocmd
BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gz set bin
: autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz
'[,']!gunzip
: autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz
set nobin
: autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz
execute ":doautocmd BufReadPost " . expand("%:r")
: autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gz !mv
<afile> <afile>:r
: autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gz !gzip
<afile>:r
: autocmd
FileAppendPre
*.gz !gunzip <afile>
: autocmd
FileAppendPre
*.gz !mv <afile>:r <afile>
: autocmd
FileAppendPost
*.gz !mv <afile> <afile>:r
: autocmd
FileAppendPost
*.gz !gzip <afile>:r
:augroup END
