vitrc(5) User Manuals vitrc(5)NAMEvitrc - Configuration file for the vit(1) command
SYNOPSIS
$HOME/.vitrc
DESCRIPTION
VIT obtains its configuration data from a file called .vitrc . This
file must be located in the user's home directory.
Except for comments (lines starting with "#"), currently the only
acceptable commands in .vitrc are map commands. They take the form
map <KEY>=<KEY-SEQUENCE>
where:
<KEY> should represent a key or combination of keys, such as
"a" or a <KEY-CODE> as listed below.
and
<KEY-SEQUENCE> is a sequence of <KEY>s to emulate. The result
should be the same as if these keys were pressed manually by the
user.
<KEY-CODE>s are strings that represent keys. The following may
be used:
Function keys: <F1> <F2> <F3> <F4> <F5> <F6> <F7> <F8> <F9>
<F10> <F11> <F12>
Navigation keys: <Home> <End> <PageUp> <PageDown> <Up> <Down>
<Right> <Left>
Editing keys: <Insert> <Del> <Backspace> <Space> <Tab> <Return>
Modifier combinations: \ca for Ctrl + "a" combination.
EXAMPLES
EXTERNAL COMMANDS
Note that for many of the examples, you need to have the appropriate
extension installed and in your PATH. Recall that after :! a 'w' means
that VIT should "wait". This allows another command to take over (e.g.
Vim when you're editing a task) and for you to see the output of a com‐
mand. After :! a 'r' means that VIT should reread your list of tasks.
This should be used when your external command changes the task data.
map \cn=:!wr tasknote %TASKID<Return>
When Ctrl + n is pressed, runs the command 'tasknote <ID>',
where <ID> is the ID of the task that is currently selected in
VIT.
map c=:! task %TASKID rc.defaultwidth:200 | grep -o-P -m 1
(ftp|http)s?:// | tr -d '0 | xsel -b<Return>
Copies the first link it finds to the clipboard.
map Z=:!rw echo Changing due date0; task %TASKID modify due:$(read -p
How many days? DAYS; echo $DAYS)days<Return>
Asks you for input and then changes the due date of the selected
task to NOW plus that many days.
map <Left>=:!wr task $(task _get %TASKID.parent) edit<Return>
When the left arrow key is pressed, edits the parent of a recur‐
ring task (do not use on non-recurring task).
INTERNAL COMMANDS
map Q= Disables whatever the Q key is bound to internally in VIT, which
is a quick quit.
