I used the UltiSnips plugin as my main snippet engine. The “live” compilation mechanism took me a long time to set up and SyncTex was not working properly. Vim was pretty hard to configure correctly. I was familiar with Vim keybindings so that was not an issue at all for me. I already knew the blog post from Gilles Castel, How I’m able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim (which I highly recommend you to read), so I decided to take notes in Vim. LaTeX on VimĪs I decided to take my notes in LaTeX, I needed an IDE to write LaTeX more easily. It is because of all these reasons that I decided to switch from Markdown to LaTeX even though I knew that I will not be able to have the same WYSIWYG quality as in Typora.
#Typora vim code#
Files containing a lot of math or code fences were starting to lag, there was some delay when typing.This markdown setup was great and I enjoyed using it for a while until some issues came up: I found the AutoKey application which allowed me to define some snippets that I could use in any desktop application, Typora included. One issue that I had with Typora is that it did not have a way to create and use snippets (textual shortcuts).Īs I were typing a lot of math during lectures, I needed a way to write math faster. I really liked taking notes in Markdown using Typora as it was easy to use and WYSIWYG was very convenient. I is a WYSIWYG application that has support for math equations preview, images copy-paste, code fences, diagrams, etc. Typora is, by far, the best Markdown editor available. Markdown note takingīefore switching to LaTeX, I was taking notes in Markdown using the Typora editor. I went through a lot of different writing environments before settling with LaTeX on VSCode.
This forum really is very helpful in many ways.I decided to take notes during lectures with LaTeX and this is how I set up my LaTeX writing environment. If I don’t hear back here I am going to look into it, so please don’t hold back for my sake. Still, if anyone has a workaround to switch the arrows to left letters, let me know. Honestly, above I am trying to put this out there mainly so it feels like I have made some sort of commitment. Who knows, maybe I will eventually return to playing the piano because of this. This could very well be a turning point that gets me some dexterity back. I kind of gave up on relearning to type correctly, but attempting just these 4 letters seems manageable. I am sure those who are left handed and maybe more so people with disabled right hands like myself would appreciate it.īut really, I am kind of excited to take this on as I have been using just my right ring finger to type on that side for over 10 years now. I do kind of wish the creators had also included an option for left handed letter keys for the arrows, but I haven’t researched that yet. You may have just given me the push I needed. However, would be happy to compromise for some sort of middle ground. I am not expecting it to be easy, and understand there is a bit of a steep learning curve and am ready to take that on. I guess my question is, short of just reading up and experimenting with key bindings and concepts, is there a list or guide that could be useful for me to do this in a way more tailored to the specific implementation in Obsidian?
The ability to select a line with a keystroke and being able to do things like copy from cursor to end of line or go to beginning of document and even set markers to return to are all very cool. I checked out the endless code mirror document with all the bindings and left more confused than I had arrived.
I am trying to learn vim and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to try to efficiently learn the concepts and key bindings that are useful or operational in Obsidian. But still, if anyone has a good source, please let me know. Edit: since posting what is below earlier, I have found some decent YouTube videos and am considering putting together the sort of guide that I was requesting.
