I’m probably in the minority, but for a notetaking app to be “pretty much perfect” I absolutely need to be able to easily view and edit notes with vim/nvim, or at least have basic Vim emulation.
- nsomaru 6y agoIt’s all or nothing, basic just leads to frustration when it doesn’t work as expected
- dtgay 6y agoI agree, mostly. An example of "close enough" for me is the IdeaVim plugin[1] for JetBrains IDEs. It supports all the features I need to be quite productive, including registers. The killer feature is that it reads in an `~/.ideavimrc` file, in which I can just `source ~/.vimrc`. I wish more apps had that level of Vim support. Loading a `vimrc` file like that would be a killer feature for a notetaking app. [1]: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/164-ideavim https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/164-ideavim
- ajford 6y agoI also love JetBrains' vim implementation. Have you found a way to perform a text reflow (`gq`) in JetBrains? I don't know if I've just overlooked a config somewhere, or if it's just not part of the standard JetBrains support and I need some kind of plugin.
- dtgay 6y agoI know what you mean, that's the one feature I'm wanting for, as well. It's not supported yet, according to the YouTrack issues[1][2][3]. If you get a chance, upvote those issues and/or make your voice heard in the comments!
