VimOutliner README file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VimOutliner is an outline processor with many of the same features
|
||
|
|
as Grandview, More, Thinktank, Ecco, etc. Features include tree
|
||
|
|
expand/collapse, tree promotion/demotion, level sensitive colors,
|
||
|
|
interoutline linking, and body text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What sets VimOutliner apart from the rest is that it's been constructed
|
||
|
|
from the ground up for fast and easy authoring. Keystrokes are quick and
|
||
|
|
easy, especially for someone knowing the Vim editor. VimOutliner can be
|
||
|
|
used without the mouse (but is supported to the extent that Vim supports
|
||
|
|
the mouse).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many of the VimOutliner commands start with a double comma ",," because
|
||
|
|
that's very quick to type. All VimOutliner files have the ".otl"
|
||
|
|
extension. For help on VimOutliner type ":h vo". For an overview of
|
||
|
|
all the most important VimOutliner commands you can type ":h votl_cheatsheet"
|
||
|
|
when you have opened an otl file.
|
||
|

|
||
