ConTeXt : inline code highlighting with t-vim

Question

I am trying to insert code in a ConTeXt document, so I tryed to use the vimtyping module. It works well for text blocks, but not for inline text, since it makes a new line. Here is my MWE:

\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\usemodule[vim]
\definevimtyping[python][
  syntax=python,
  strip=yes,
  tab=4,
  margin=2em,
  before={\blank[samepage,line]},
  after={\blank[line]},
]

\starttext
The block works
\startpython
  def function(foo):  # test
      a = foo
      return(foo**a)
\stoppython
But the inline writing of \inlinepython{def function} makes new lines.
\stoptext

Is there an option I need to activate to use this module inline macro ?

Answer 1

There are spacebefore and spaceafter keys that you should use to set up spaces.

This is not a bug, but is due to misconfigured defaults. The before and after values are used only when you use \start<vim-typing> ... \stop<vim-typing>; when you use \inline<vim-typing>, left and right keys get used.

But, in t-filter, I had defined:

\c!left=\externalfilterparameter\c!before,
\c!right=\externalfilterparameter\c!after,

So, the default values of left and right were same as that of before and after. So, to avoid the wrong behaviour, add:

\definevimtyping[python]
   [
     ...,
     left=,
     right=,
   ]

so that left and right keys are set to be empty.

NOTE: Actually, I had fixed this bug a while back, but modules.contextgarden.net is down; so I haven't been able to update the module in the distribution.
