capture-nvim

plugin to quickly store ideas with exact place in a file

Installation

Plug 'nagy135/capture-nvim'

Optionally for fancy gui prompt

Plug 'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim'

Usage

• leader X - create new todo
• leader J - jump to file (improved gF that jumps to column as well as line)

both binds have "shift modifier" ... so, leader, shift+x

Configuration

Put these lines in your init.lua or inside lua block in .vimrc.

require("capture").setup({
    location = "~/todo.md",
    project_root_todo = false
})

location

Combined place to store captures.

project_root_todo

Controls behavior where todo.md is stored in root of git repository/

Change binds

Simply define binds you want with provided lua functions

nnoremap <leader>X :lua capture_module.create_todo()<CR>
nnoremap <leader>J :lua capture_module.jump_to_file_with_column()<CR>

Similair projects

I am using this plugin for my own personal use and I like its minimal nature. For more features and more "emacs capture" feel, you might wanna try orgmode.nvim

TODO

• check if inside git repository (now nvim crashes instead)
• make higher level headers in combined root todo list
