description

This is a simple script that helps keep a collection of notes organized and allows vim help style linking. VimNotes will: 1.  Automatically create an Index of links and display it in a Menu in Gvim. 2.  Tag file is automatically regenerated every time a VimNote is saved. 3.   VimNotes Configuration:   VimNotes has a few configuration options at the top of the VimNotes.vim file. You should review these and make any desired changes. Default Notes Directory:         by default all notes are kept in a single directory.   let g:VN_DefaultDir = "~/Notes" Folds: VimNotes can be configured to fold note subsections (1) or not (0)   let g:VN_FoldEnable = "1" Note Header Configuration: The default ("d") header will include filename, created date and last modified date and by whom.  Or you can use a minimalist ("m") header.   let g:VN_Header = "d" Note Section Divider: Setting this to "1" will place a divider line of ---- between note sections. Setting it to "0", will disable a visible seperater.   let g:VN_SectionSep = "1" Default Web Browser: VimNotes can open links in a browser of your choosing. Examples:   let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "konqueror"   let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "links -g"   let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "konsole -e lynx"   let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "xterm -e lynx"   let g:VN_DefaultBrowser = "mozilla" Keymappings: If you would like to change any of the keymappings for this script, add the following lines:                map <-key-to-use> <PLUG><-function-to-map>                map! <-key-to-use> <PLUG><-function-to-map> Default Config:                VN_NewFile                    <F2>                VN_NewSection              <F3>                VN_Search                     <F4>                VN_OpenHTTPLink         <F5>       Note: VN_NewFile is always available, however VN_NewSection,                VN_Search, and VN_OpenHTTPLink are only available if the                current buffer is a VimNote. Example:                map  <F1> <Plug>VN_Search                map! <F1> <Plug>VN_Search Customizing Syntax Colors:   You can link the group to an existing syntax group with this command:        highlight link <vimnotes-group>  <group>   You can find the available group names in your current syntax file:        /usr/local/share/vim/vim62/colors/ Default Config:                highlight link VN_Bullet          Comment                highlight link VN_Checkbox        Function                highlight link VN_CheckboxDone    Comment                highlight link VN_HyperTextJump   Function                highlight link VN_HyperTextEntry  Identifier                highlight link VN_Divider         Comment                highlight link VN_Header          Comment                highlight link VN_HeaderTopic     Function                highlight link VN_HTTP            String                highlight link VN_NumberedList    Comment                highlight link VN_Topic           Comment
