vimlauncher-kde

Python code for launching vim from anywhere. I am using this to input latex anywhere.

Dependencies

1. xdotool
2. xclip
3. python3
4. konsole

Bugs

• Unable to paste the output through command.
• Not able to set shortcut for launching

Workarounds

• Change the shortcut for saving & closing the vim to CTRL-d so that you can CTRL-d CTRL-v for fast input. This can be done by appending the following lines to the end of .vimrc file.

" Remap save and exit to <ctrl>d
inoremap <C-d> <esc>:wq!<cr>               " save and exit
nnoremap <C-d> :wq!<cr>

• Manually set the shortcut through KDE settings.

Thanks

This code is mainly derived out of Gilles Castel's works on making tex input faster. Those shortcuts are part of my daily workflow now. Here is a link to his profile.
