vitrc(5)

NAME
vitrc - Configuration file for the vit(1) command

SYNOPSIS
$HOME/.vitrc

DESCRIPTION
VIT obtains its configuration data from a file called .vitrc . This file must be located in the user's home directory. Except for comments (lines starting with "#"), currently the only acceptable commands in .vitrc are map commands. They take the form
    map <KEY>=<KEY-SEQUENCE>
where:

    <KEY>
        should represent a key or combination of keys, such as "a" or a <KEY-CODE> as listed below.

    and

    <KEY-SEQUENCE> is a sequence of <KEY>s to emulate. The result should be the same as if these keys were pressed manually by the user. <KEY-CODE>s are strings that represent keys. The following may be used:
    Function keys: <F1> <F2> <F3> <F4> <F5> <F6> <F7> <F8> <F9> <F10> <F11> <F12> Navigation keys: <Home> <End> <PageUp> <PageDown> <Up> <Down> <Right> <Left> Editing keys: <Insert> <Del> <Backspace> <Space> <Tab> <Return> Modifier combinations: \ca for Ctrl + "a" combination.

EXAMPLES

  EXTERNAL COMMANDS
Note that for many of the examples, you need to have the appropriate extension installed and in your PATH. Recall that after :! a 'w' means that VIT should "wait". This allows another command to take over (e.g. Vim when you're editing a task) and for you to see the output of a command. After :! a 'r' means that VIT should reread your list of tasks. This should be used when your external command changes the task data.

map \\cn=:!wr tasknote %TASKID<Return>
    When Ctrl + n is pressed, runs the command 'tasknote <ID>', where <ID> is the ID of the task that is currently selected in VIT.

map c=:! task %TASKID rc.defaultwidth:200 | grep -o -P -m 1 (ftp|http)s?:// | tr -d ' | xsel -b<Return>
    Copies the first link it finds to the clipboard.

map Z=:!rw echo Changing due date ; task %TASKID modify due:$(read -p How many days?  DAYS; echo $DAYS)days<Return>
    Asks you for input and then changes the due date of the selected task to NOW plus that many days.

map <Left>=:!wr task $(task _get %TASKID.parent) edit<Return>
    When the left arrow key is pressed, edits the parent of a recurring task (do not use on non-recurring task).

  INTERNAL COMMANDS

map Q=
    Disables whatever the Q key is bound to internally in VIT, which is a quick quit.
