Is there something similar to Org-mode for vi?
- Dejital 15y agoThere are a couple of work-in-progress `org-mode` clones for Vim, VimOrganizer in particular. However, I do not feel comfortable recommending either VimOrganizer or its counterparts. Personally, I've realized that any `org-mode` implementation to Vim would be going against the editor's nature. I might recommend TaskWarrior if you're looking for command-line GTD application as an alternative to `org-mode`.
- aerique 15y agoIf you're not totally against using Emacs: it has Vi(m) emulating modes so you can at least try org-mode out and perhaps port it to vi if you happen to like it.
- silentbicycle 15y agoYes, it's called Unix. I mean, that sounds glib, but a lot of the Unix toolchain involves text: searching it, typesetting it, (automatically) editing it, and so on. You can use make to automate static HTML generation from a tree of Markdown files, for example. vi lacks the "persistent, integrated environment" aspect of Emacs, which is what sustains tools like org-mode. vim can edit multiple files, have multiple windows, and the like, but it wasn't a fundamental design principle. You may be better off using a couple simple scripts and using vi(m) where it shines: editing text.
