Pickachu --- ## Demo [Watch the GIF](https://gfycat.com/AccomplishedTintedJoey) ## Usage ### Commands ``` :Pick ``` or... ``` :Pick [app] [optional: format] ``` **Note:** The full command of `:Pick` is `:Pickachu`. Use whatever feels more intuitive for you. **Note:** By default, `app` is set to `color` and `format` has different defaults depending on what app you choose. See more about defaults and how to change them in the [Configuration](#configuration) section **Availible Apps**: - **color** - The color-picker utility. Default format = `hex`. - **date** - The date-picker utility. Default format is `%m/%d/%Y`. More about formatting is discussed in the [Configuration](#configuration) section. - **file** - The file-picker utility. There are no format options for this utility. ### Keyboard shortcuts By default, there are no keyboard mappings to avoid conflicts with mappings you currently use. However, here are some ideas: **Mapping the default color picker to `alt+c`:** ``` map <A-c> :Pickachu<CR> ``` **Mapping the file chooser to `alt+f`:** ``` map <A-c> :Pickachu file<CR> ``` **Mapping the date chooser to `alt+d`:** ``` map <A-d> :Pickachu date<CR> ``` ## Configuration ### Global Variables #### Default Color Format `let g:pickachu_default_color_format = "hex"` **Availible color formats are:** - hex - rgb - rgba #### Default Date Format: `let g:pickachu_default_date_format = "%m/%d/%Y"` Date formatting is done through [Python datetime](https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html). ### KDE / Qt5 / Qarma support If you are a KDE and/or would rather use Qt5's color picker, install `qarma`. After doing so, add the following line to your configuration: `let g:pickachu_default_command = "qarma"`

install details

**Notes**: - You must have a Vim installation with Python3 support. If you're using NeoVim, you can simply type `pip3 install neovim`. - You must have Zenity installed on your computer. On most Linux operating systems, this is already installed. - If you're on a Mac, there may still be hope. [Here is a guide on installing Zenity with Homebrew on Mac](https://brewinstall.org/install-zenity-on-mac-with-brew/) ### Plug Add this line to your plugin loop: ``` Plug 'DougBeney/pickachu' ``` ### Pathogen ``` git clone https://github.com/DougBeney/pickachu.git ~/.vim/bundle/nerdtree ``` ### Apt-Vim ``` apt-vim install -y https://github.com/DougBeney/pickachu.git ```
