3/27/2023 0 Comments Macvim tex previewEditors like TextMate now have a much gentler learning curve, while still providing the user with a fantastically wide feature set, and an amazing level of customisation. Unfortunately for vi/vim, now there certainly is. There was nothing this powerful available. In my experience, it is THE hardest text editor to learn, often requiring several months before the new user feels that they are starting to feel comfortable with the new tool.Įven as recently as a couple of years ago, this kind of time investment was worthwhile, if you were a programmer, who had to spend a lot of your day in front of the computer, juggling different graphical text editors who provide only half of the features set you need for any language. Vi/Vim is, of course, an extremely powerful text editor, which is infamously difficult to learn. We have higher standards, and things to get done, and that's why we'll be using MacVim. I'm sure your $DEITY will still love you. If you for some reason, need to have less features because due to some unseen yet crippling inability to teach your muscles to do something, which is a vim requirement, then by golly use something with an "easier learning curve". If you are are fearful, why, pay fear's price and fire up some 100 meg IDE and have it hold your hand and change your diapers. Of course, people program are not stupid, people who program on unix platforms are unafraid of complexity, or at least _were_ not stupid, and _were_ unafraid of complexity. Vim has a steep learning curve, like all things Unix. MacVim is gvim for os X, what an os X program should be like, combined with every optimization that code editing needs and thousands more that are "nice". Troll lurking under the bridge named /Applications. Vim on os X used to be like firefox, a thing from another place, a foul, alien and misshapen MacVim is an excellent version of gvim, easily the lushest and sexiest one i've ever seen. This is _the_ editor, unless you run emacs, and of course all those people, having internalized the concept of "false gods" have cheerily begun running textmate instead.Įnough about that. vpm files : load proper highlightingĪutocmd BufWinEnter *.Well, exactly what I want are thousands of text specific features. Here en example (just putted simple colours) : " with. if you don't like the basic ones for markdown. Then, you can add some special highlighting for titles etc. " silent so if you try to go after the last or before the first slide, you do not get any error (nothing happens) " so other filetypes aren't affected even if you open them in your presentation vpm file is opened, set the shortcutsĪutocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.vpm call SetVimPresentationMode() so vim will open them in the right order. The idea is to make a file named 000.vpm, and a 001.vpm, then 002.vpm etc. I use it with the g:vim_markdown_math set to 1 to I have kink of a LaTeX equation preview. The plugin vim-markdown, that shows pretty markdown, like in emacs org-mode (the surrounding * or _ are removed when your cursor is not on the line). Cool for presentations (I assume you don't want these elements). The plugin Goyo, that removes all the visual elements (line numbering, status bar, tabs.) to make kind of like the VSCode "zen mode". I don't know the linux command to run, but both solutions worked for me.įor presentations I found few useful plugins (not mandatory, but very useful) and options. Example : your slide10.vpng file would contain path/to/my_image.png and then, when vim opens the file, it runs open, so here : open path/to/my_image.png. vpng (vim png), and tell vim to read its contents (that would be the address of the image) and to pass it to a command. For example, you could create your own extetion, like. This one does the job : autocmd BufEnter *.png,*.jpg,*gif,*.svg exec "! ~/.iterm2/imgcat ".expand("%") | :bwĪnother option is to open it with another app. svg and to kill the buffer (so the binary code of the image does not open). So you could program an autocommand that tells vim to run a command (imgcat for ITerms2) when it opens a. ITerms2 has a special escape sequence that can be used by any terminal app to tell the emulator to print an image. I don't know linux options, but for macOS, ITerm2 does it perfectly. In order to get real pictures in vim you have to get a terminal emulator that can show images.
