1 Abstract

What is the reason why you use Vim on a daily basis? Use it for editing some configurations? Or writing lots of source code? That’s good. But some of you may want to use Vim for other purposes. For such users, Vim-orgmode has been developed by Jan Christoph Ebersbach as a Vim plugin from 2011. The vim-orgmode provides attractive capabilities to Vim users who potentially want to manage a bunch of TODO items, to write blog posts, and to edit technical articles or reports. In this lighting talk, the basic functionalities of vim-orgmode and remarkable features of the original Org Mode of Emacs are briefly introduced.

4 Org Mode

4.1 What is this? attach

IMO, Org Mode is…

┌────────────────────────┐          ┌────────────────────────┐
│    the second brain    │    or    │        Exocortex       │
└────────────────────────┘          └────────────────────────┘
                                     An extension to your brain

4.2 Change your situation attach

4.3 What is your requirements to text editor?

Visual feedback (e.g. syntax highlighting)
Efficiency
- you don't like duplicated works
Snippet or code completion
- since we have limited memory in brain
  etc…

4.4 But the ideal goal is…

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│     Just imagine, then get the results.      │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Question:
Why are you typing your keyboard now?

4.5 Do not work too much secret

                *Just imagine, then get the results!*
             ┌────────────────┐       ┌────────────────┐
             │     Imagine    │   →   │    Results!    │
             └────────────────┘       └────────────────┘
            ---------------------------------------------

Need a report in Microsoft Word   →   Export it from an org file

I cannot remember but I know...   →   Search and find it from org files

   When I have to go to Vimconf   →   Get a reminder from Org

                      Security?   →   just encrypt data

5 Problems

5.1 Current status of development

vim-orgmode doesn't support full functionalities of Org Mode in Emacs.
