# vim-pencil
> “Extending Vim to better support writing prose and documentation”
Features of this plugin:
* Configures Vim for word processing, with key mappings, undo points, etc.
* Agnostic on hard line endings _versus_ soft wrapping
* Use for editing markdown, textile, documentation, etc.
* Can detect wrapping approach via modeline
Why such a minimalistic approach? There are several Vim plugins for
writing that take a comprehensive approach, including changing not only
the functional behavior of the editor, but also visual aspects such as
colorscheme and font. This plugin heads in the opposite direction,
focusing narrowly on the few tweaks needed to smooth the path to writing
prose in Vim.
Where you need more features, you can tailor your environment
by installing those plugins that meet your specific needs.
## Why use Vim for writing?
While programmers will extol the many virtues of Vim in writing code, few
will appreciate its powerful text manipulation capabilities for writing
documentation and prose.
But with plenty of word processing tools available, including those which
specifically cater to writers, why use a programmers editor like Vim for
writing?
There are good reasons NOT to use Vim for writing:
* Primitive in certain respects (no WYSIWYG or proportionally spaced
characters, e.g.)
* A modal editor with a steep learning curve
* Time and effort to configure to your needs
But then again Vim offers a unique editing environment not matched by
other writing tools:
* Your hands rest in a neutral home position, only rarely straying to
reach for mouse, track pad, or arrow keys
* Minimal chording, with many mnemonic-friendly commands
* Sophisticated capabilities for navigating and manipulating text
* Highly configurable to suit your needs, with many plugins available
## Installation
Install using Pathogen, Vundle, Neobundle, or your favorite Vim package manager.
(Suggestion for those who are new to Vim: you should first work through
one of the Vim tutorials listed at the bottom of this document. Then, once
you are comfortable with the basics of Vim, consider installing this
plugin.)
## Configuration
### Hard breaks or soft wrapping?
Where do you stand on hard line breaks versus soft line wrapping?
Typically, coders will have the most experience with the former, and
writers the latter. But whatever your background, chances are that you
will be living in a mixed environment where you must contend with both.
This plugin doesn't force you to choose a side—each buffer is configured
independently.
In most cases you can set a default to suit your preference and let
auto-detection figure out what to do. Add to your `.vimrc`:
```vim
let g:pencil#wrapModeDefault = 'hard' " or 'soft'
augroup pencil
autocmd!
autocmd FileType markdown call pencil#init()
autocmd FileType textile call pencil#init()
autocmd FileType text call pencil#init({'wrap': 'hard'})
augroup END
```
In the example above, for files of type `markdown` and `textile`, this
plugin will auto-detect the wrapping approach, with `hard` as the default.
But for files of type `text`, it will *always* use hard line endings.
### Commands
Because auto-detect doesnt always work correctly, you can invoke commands
to set the behavior for the current buffer:
* `PencilSoft` - configure for soft wrapping
* `PencilHard` - configure for hard line endings
* `PencilToggle` - if off, enables with detection; if on, turns off
* `PencilOff` - removing mappings and restore global settings
Optionally, you can map to keys in your `.vimrc`:
```vim
nmap <silent> <leader>ws :PencilSoft<cr>
nmap <silent> <leader>wh :PencilHard<cr>
nmap <silent> <leader>ww :PencilToggle<cr>
nmap <silent> <leader>w0 :PencilOff<cr>
```
Also, more commands in Automatic Formatting below.
### Additional settings
You can configure the default `textwidth` for Hard mode, when none is set
or available via modeline:
```vim
let g:pencil#textwidth = 74
```
`joinspaces` determines number of spaces after period (`0`=1 space, `1`=2 spaces)
```vim
let g:pencil#joinspaces=0
```
## Automatic formatting
(This feature affects hard line break mode only.)
When using hard line breaks, Vims autoformat feature can offer many of
the same benefits as soft wrapping lines. But autoformat can cause havoc
when editing outside of paragraphs of sentences. Occasionally, you will
need to disable it.
To set the default behavior, add to your `.vimrc`:
```vim
let g:pencil#autoformat = 1 " 1=enable, 0=disable
```
You can override this default during initialization, as in:
```vim
let g:pencil#wrapModeDefault = 'soft'
augroup pencil
autocmd!
autocmd FileType text call pencil#init({'wrap': 'hard', 'autoformat': 0})
...
augroup END
```
You can also toggle it as needed with a command:
* `PencilFormatAuto` - enables autoformat
* `PencilFormatManual` - disables autoformat
* `PencilFormatToggle`
Or bind to keys in your `.vimrc`:
```vim
nmap <silent> <leader>wa :PencilFormatAuto<cr>
nmap <silent> <leader>wm :PencilFormatManual<cr>
nmap <silent> <leader>wf :PencilFormatToggle<cr>
```
Again, when using soft line wrapping, Vims autoformat feature does not
apply.
## Auto-detection via modeline
At the bottom of this document is a strange code:
```
<!-- vim: set tw=74 :-->
```
This is a modeline that tells Vim to run the following command upon
loading this file into a buffer:
```vim
:set textwidth=74
```
Thats a strong hint to this plugin that we should assume hard line
endings, regardless of whether or not soft wrapping is the default editing
mode for files of type markdown.
To provide a hint for detection, you can add a modeline to the last line
of your documents. For more details:
```vim
:help modeline
```
Note that even if the modelines feature is disabled (such as for security
reasons) the textwidth will still be set by this plugin.
