Hi, This is what i do to use vim as the editor for long tiddler bodies or run a quick s/find/replace/g
Using vim as one editor helps me keep continuity working between TiddlyWiki and VimWiki On windows cygwin, you can call vim directly with the path to the vim.exe in the ItsAllText preferences just like you normally do. I don't remember the path offhand. but if I'm on my Chromebook running Linux via Crouton I make a shell script, called say editor.sh Where editor.sh is #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal -e "vim '$1'" I then put the path to this editor.sh script in the ItsAllText preferences in my case it is /home/<myusername>/editor.sh Basically the script just tells the terminal to open vim and is called by ItsAllText as set in the preferences. Depending on your setup you may need to substitute with the name of your terminal Other configs are found here: https://github.com/docwhat/itsalltext https://docwhat.org/its_all_text_v06/#comment-2054 http://iheartryan.com/post/its-all-text http://blog.asyd.net/2009/09/using-its-all-text-on-mac-os-x/ hth Best, tony On Thursday, February 2, 2017 at 2:11:19 PM UTC-8, kelsang sherab wrote: > > on linux > the whereis command retruns: > > > whereis vim >> vim: /usr/bin/vim /usr/bin/vim.tiny /usr/bin/vim.basic /etc/vim >> /usr/share/vim /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz >> >> > the which command returns > > /usr/bin/vim > > I added the path to the firefox addon its all text > and when i try working with it here's what firefox returns: > > I ran this command: /usr/bin/vim >> /home/sherab/.mozilla/firefox/mwad0hks.default/itsalltext/tiddlywiki.com_.1w1x371h.txt >> >> ...and it exited with a status of 1. >> > > any ideas what to do? > > Also any advice on how to use TW with vim? > > I know there is a plug in but it says to add it to vim/syntax/ > and i just cannot find /.vim/syntax. > cheers > > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
