Simple todo in Vim

Maybe this is the smallest Vim plugin in the world. It adds some useful mappings for manage simple todo lists (example below) and nothing more.

[x] Create plugin
[x] Add helpful documentation
[x] Publish to GitHub
[ ] Spread the word

Features

• Support GitHub-like task lists:

  • [x] Works well with different markdown list markers, e.g. -, +, *.
  • [ ] So it’s easy to create tasks in issues or pull requests on GitHub

• Visually selected tasks can be processed at once.

• Each mapping is repeatable via . (require tpope/repeat).

• Tick symbol is configurable, e.g.

  [y] Water
  [y] Bread
  [ ] Milk
  

Installation

Use your favorite installation method:

• Tim Pope’s pathogen:

  cd ~/.vim/bundle
  git clone https://github.com/vitalk/vim-simple-todo
  

• Junegunn Choi’s Plug (recommend):

  Plug 'vitalk/vim-simple-todo'
  

  vim +PlugInstall +qall
  

Usage

All this mappings use the <leader> key and they work the same on NORMAL, VISUAL and INSERT modes. The default <leader> is backslash (\), but I prefer to use the comma as the <leader> key but feel free to set your own.

Or even remap them to somethings more comfortable for you:

# Disable default key bindings
let g:simple_todo_map_keys = 0

# Map your keys
nmap <c-i> <Plug>(simple-todo-new)
imap <c-i> <Plug>(simple-todo-new)
# ...etc.

See :help simple-todo-maps for list of available mappings.

You can also change the tick symbol to something else. Default is x.

let g:simple_todo_tick_symbol = 'y'
