The vim-zettel package

This is a Vim plugin that implements ideas of the Zettelkasten method using Vimwiki. It supports both Vimwiki and Markdown syntaxes.

Main features:

  • customizable filenames (date and time, title, consecutive numbering)
  • links always show titles, regardless of the actual filename
  • fulltext support using FZF for searching and hyperlinking
  • search your Zettelkasten from LaTeX or Markdown documents and insert selected notes to the document
  • template support
  • automatically updated tag index
  • backlinks

You can read the full documentation using

:help vim-zettel

command in Vim after package installation.

Install

Using Vundle:

Plugin 'vimwiki/vimwiki'
Plugin 'junegunn/fzf'
Plugin 'junegunn/fzf.vim'
Plugin 'michal-h21/vim-zettel'

Using vim-plug

call plug#begin()
Plug 'vimwiki/vimwiki'
Plug 'junegunn/fzf'
Plug 'junegunn/fzf.vim'
Plug 'michal-h21/vim-zettel'
call plug#end()

Silver Searcher is used for searching in the notes by default. The used command can be changed by setting the g:zettel_fzf_command variable.

Usage

Vim-zettel adds some commands and mappings on top of Vimwiki. See Vimwiki documentation on how to set up a basic wiki and navigate it.
