Configuring Vim as a Writing Tool - It's FOSS News

Vim is not just for coding. You can use it for writing novels as well. Fiction writer Theena shares how he configures Vim for writing.

Bonjour tout le monde, je suis #nouveauici. Mes centres d'intérêt sont #borg, #btrfs, #debian, #freesofftware, #guake, #kvm, #libre, #mate, #mywork, #remmina, #ssh, #sysadmin et #vim.

(et contrairement à ce que l'auto-complétion défectueuse a voulu me faire dire la première fois, j'ai bien dit "ssh" comme centre d'intérêt, pas "ss")

How To Use VIM Editor - Because if you've not used it for years you won't be able to exit it

Yes VIM Editor is renowned for its flexibility and power (probably second to none) but it does not follow any of the current conventions even for cut-and-paste, or scrolling around, or exiting. So most people, like me, who start it up to test it out, have to do an Internet search to figure out how to exit it. Just remember :h for help and :wq for save and exit.

The article below scratches the surface in terms of the very basics but does not cover any of the more detailed functionality of plugins that VIM can use. It does give some idea though that if you use a number of steps regularly, there is a lot of power in using VIM.

You either love VIM or you hate it

Auf Wunsch habe ich das Logo von Vim als Schlüsselanhänger gestickt. Es ist in Plastik canvas mit Twist gestickt. 8 cm ist es groß.

How to encrypt a single text file symmetrically in VIM/GVIM:
(https://www.vim.org/download.php or use your package manager)

1. open (G)VIM
2. :set cm=blowfish2
3. :X
4. enter your password or -phrase twice; longer is better; 10 words+ excellent!
5. optional: write passphrase down hard copy and put in wallet
6. enter text as usual; then ESC to exit insert mode
7. :w (/path/to)/FILENAME.TXT
8. :q

When you open the file again, VIM will ask your passphrase first, then you edit again as usual. Done!
