Installation instructions for VimOrganizer v. 0.30, November 2011
|
|
=================================================================
|
|
|
|
1. Install VimOrganizer files as you would any other ftplugin, with downloaded
|
|
files going in their respective directories under your .vim (Linux/Mac)
|
|
or vimfiles (Windows) directory.
|
|
|
|
2. Run helptags on the help file in the /doc directory, vimorg.txt,
|
|
so hep items can be accessed using the Vim help system.
|
|
|
|
3. Make sure your vimrc has these lines:
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
filetype plugin indent on
|
|
|
|
[...and then somewhere below that:]
|
|
|
|
au! BufRead,BufWrite,BufWritePost,BufNewFile *.org
|
|
au BufEnter *.org call org#SetOrgFileType()
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you use VimOrganizer much you will also want to configure variables
|
|
and/or functions in your vimrc. A sample vimrc has been included
|
|
in the download.
|
|
|
|
ALSO, you will want to install the plugins listed below. VimOrganizer
|
|
will work without them, but some functionality will be unavailable:
|
|
|
|
4. Make sure you have Calendar.vim installed.
|
|
(Calendar.vim comes included in the /plugin/ directory as part of
|
|
the Vim runtime in some Vim installs, otherwise available at:
|
|
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=52)
|
|
|
|
Second, here are two plugins that you will want to download to
|
|
take advantage of Org-mode-like narrowing and link features that have been built
|
|
into VimOrganizer:
|
|
|
|
5. Christian Brabandt's NarrowRegion plugin. Find and install it from here:
|
|
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3075
|
|
6. The Utl "Universal Text Linking" plugin. Find and install it from here:
|
|
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=293
|
|
|
|
If you are running on Windows another plugin will be useful:
|
|
|
|
7. If you're running on Windows then you may want to get Peter Rodding's
|
|
shell.vim plugin. It's not necessary, but if you have installed
|
|
it VimOrganizer will use it to ensure that you don't see
|
|
the annoying Windows command prompt window pop up when VimOrganizer
|
|
calls out to Emacs/Org-mode.
|
|
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3123
|
|
|
|
8. FINALLY, install Emacs. Not necessary for basic outlining, agenda
|
|
searches, and other basic stuff, but it is necessary to do exports
|
|
to html and PDF (which you will definitely want) as well as other
|
|
advanced stuff. Don't be afraid, install is simply and configuration
|
|
is not hard. Find Emacs here:
|
|
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
|
|
|
|
Vimorg uses a variable, g:org_command_for_emacsclient, to hold the
|
|
command that will start the emacsclient on your system. If you are
|
|
not on Linux or OSX you will need to set this explicitly in your
|
|
vimrc file.
|
|
|
|
Also, please note that emacsclient works slightly differently on
|
|
Windows and Linux/OSX systems. You must manually start
|
|
Emacs on Linux/OSX or calls to emacsclient will not work. Please see
|
|
:h vimorg-emacs-setup
|
|
|
|
For Emacs you should also install a hook function in the .emacs file,
|
|
which will automatically make minor conversions when you export and/or
|
|
open a VimOrganizer .org file in Emacs. You can find the text for that
|
|
function in the VimOrganizer help file:
|
|
:h vimorg-orgmode-conversion
|
|
|
|
If you're scared of Emacs, don't worry. You don't ever need to edit
|
|
a document using Emacs. The most you will need to do is open up
|
|
the .emacs configuration file (in Vim) to make some configuration
|
|
changes, and that is required only if you're doing more advanced stuff.
|
|
Having said, that, if there are problems it can sometimes be easiest to
|
|
open Emacs and diagnose an issue there. Still, you don't ever need
|
|
to edit a document in Emacs, just think of Emacs as your "application
|
|
server".
