Use Vim anywhere

[Eric Weir]

You may know about this, or maybe you can do this without this. If not: An app that lets you use your favorite text editor in any application. Works with MacVim, I would guess with Vim, too. If I can use Vim everywhere, maybe I'll learn to use Vim.

This developer also has a really cool and versatile list/todo list creating/managing application called TaskPaper. Price is a little steep.

Thanks, Alexander. I've downloaded and started using the Mac app version, but I'll definitely check this one out. Do you use it?

Hi Eric,

I've been using it before I read about vimoutliner. It's a very simple
approach (GTD) for task management. What I really liked was using
tags. You can fold all lines that do not contain your search tag. Just
put your cursor on @mytag and \tc will show you the relevant lines.
With vim's Ctrl-X Ctrl-N you can use autocompletion for your used
tags. Another nice feature is a different color for tasks that are
@done. But you can't fold projects separately.

Would be nice to have tag folding in vimoutliner.

FWIW, TKDO does this with VO files. In the GTK or curses UI,
type @mytagname then press enter, and it will show only items
with that tag. It works with command line queries too.

I would like to try this plugin, but I'm not sure how to do it with VO installed. Originally I tried to install VO using Pathogen, with all the VO files and folders in their own folder. Eventually, I abandoned that, and moved the VO files and folders into the .vim folder.

How do you install two plugins without putting each plugin's files and folders in a separate folder, the way Pathogen does, when some of the folders have the same names, e.g., doc, ftdetect, ftplugin, syntax?

Thanks,

If you don't use Pathogen all of your plugins have to share the _same_
folders. Just drop the files in doc, ftdetect etc.
If you want to remove a Plugin you have to search for all the files in
every .vim/folder

One argument for using Pathogen.

Thanks for the clarification, Alexander.

Pathogen was the first plugin I installed after my first ever installation of Vim. Even as the noobie I am I could see the logic. VO was the first -- and last, at least for now -- plugin I installed after Pathogen, but I just couldn't get VO running right.

I don't recall what the problem was, but ultimately Steve Litt despaired of being of any more help to me and recommended that I try VO without Pathogen. I gladly took his advice and have had no problems since.

I take it you use Pathogen? Perhaps at some point I'll give it a try again. No doubt sooner rather than later would be better.

But I think I'll check out vim-addon-manager before I do. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2905 It sounds like it nearly installs itself and installs, updates, and uninstalls plugins automatically. Anyone have any experience with it?
