CommentReader

Read your favorite content (twitter, weibo, digital novel, etc.) at work by pretending you are reading source code. :P

Requirements

• Vim 7.3+
• Python support for Vim

Installation

It can be easily installed by just dropping all files to your $HOME/.vim/ directory.

However I recommend using vundle or pathogen instead as managing your vim plugins.

Usage and Configuration

Twitter

1. Open a source file and run

    :CRopentwitter
   

2. If it is the first time you run the command, it will guide you to authorize it. Open the url stored in + register in your browser. If you are using gVim, you can paste it by Ctrl + V(Windows) or Commands + V(Mac) as usual.

3. It should be the twitter authorization page containing a PIN code. Copy it and run

    :CRopentwitter <your PIN code>
   

4. If everything goes right, the tweets should appear as comments now!

Weibo

1. Open a source file and run

    :CRopenweibo
   

2. It will require your authorization at the first time you run it. Open the url in + register the same as above.

3. Copy the last part of redirected url. For example, 17e80a3d4fe458da96f8561ab21d32fe for redirected url as https://api.weibo.com/oauth2/default.html?code=17e80a3d4fe458da96f8561ab21d32fe.

4. run

    :CRopenweibo <your code>
   

and enjoy!

Novel

1. Open a source file and run

    :CRopenbook
   

2. If you haven't opened a book ever, it will require you to give the path to the command as argument. Like

    :CRopenbook <path to your file>
   

3. Up to now, CommentReader can read plain text file in UTF-8 encoding only.

Maps

• l: next page
• h: previous page
• j: next item
• k: previous item
• r: refresh (for twitter and weibo)
• q: quit

There is also a useful command CRtoggle you can map to the key as you like, <F5> for example.

    :nnoremap <F5> :CRtoggle<CR>

Session

By default, CommentReader will save your profile about API key, novel's file path in $HOME/.vim_creader_session. With the profile file, you can run :CRopentwitter, :CRopenweibo, :CRopenbook without argument for easy.

If you want, the profile auto-save can be turned off by adding

    let g:creader_auto_save = 0

in your .vimrc.

Or, maybe you don't want to turn it off but just to save the profile in another position, you can. Add

    let g:creader_session_file = path/to/you/want

in your .vimrc.
