Hello,
after a long training period (!), I am finally comfortable enough with
Vim to switch
from my current Ledger text editor (TextMate). Given the wonderful
auto-completion
feature of the vim-plugin, my productivity has increased significantly
(TextMate has
auto-completion, too, but not as smart).
To boost my productivity even further, I have added some functionality
to the plugin,
which I have just submitted as a couple of pull requests. One adds a
ledger#entry()
function that acts as a front end to `ledger entry`. The second one
provides a couple
of functions to align commodities, and is based on a tiny brilliant
piece of code
submitted on this list long time ago (GotoCol() or something):
https://github.com/ledger/vim-ledger/pull/23
https://github.com/ledger/vim-ledger/pull/22/files
To give you an idea, with suitable mappings you may type, say:
i<tab>Am<tab><cr>e:h<tab><space>123.45<ctrl-l>
to get something like:
2015/05/20 Amazon
Expenses:Hardware 123.45 EUR
(note the added currency) where the amount is properly aligned. To type
less than that
Vim would have to read your thoughts!
The next step is implementing some functions to generate reports in a
flexible way.
I have some preliminary code, but if there are Vim users reading, I welcome
suggestions. Also, since I do not use Emacs, I'd like to hear from
Emacs users which
killer features Ledger mode has (and the vim-plugin has not), to get
some inspiration
to bring them to Vim!
Enjoy!
Life
