Spacevim: How to use org mode?

[konradzdeb]

I would like to know if it's possible to utilise the org-mode in SpaceVim, the SpaceVim documentation refers to org mode:

SPC t m c toggle the org task clock (available in org layer)

However, the org-layer is not listed in available layers.

as I know there is no org mode for vim.

I used for years https://github.com/hsitz/VimOrganizer which is a more or less compatible version of orgmode for Vim.

Please note, it requires Emacs as a dependency for some of the advanced stuff.

I think these questions should be answered before developing org-mode:

1. Shall we remap the keys? By default, the vim-orgmode and VimOrganizer use C-c and <localleader> for org-mode operations; however, it is not consistent with SpaceVim behaviors. SpaceVim would like to use SPC or SPC l for org-modes operation with customized help infomation.

2. Shall we still use the keymaps heavily for org-mode; The advantage of use C-c is that it is easy for insert-mode without leaving. However, I think Ultisnips with python might be a better choice. For example, we could customize -tt inline snippets that, for a time range <12:00>-tt<TAB>, we would get <12:00-currenttime>. I think we could operate org-mode faster by ultisnips rather by insert-mode keymaps.

3. What are we doing with org-mode? Personally, I am using org-mode for life management and book reading notes. Therefore, I will write some ultisnip snippets for time statistics and alike. My question here is that, except the default functions by VimOrganizer or by vim-orgmode or by emacs-orgmode, is there anything else we should provide?

[crisidev]

I use it mostly for note taking and exporting in various formats. Also calendars and tasks integration is quite handy. I pull the tasks from my work task manager and update them inside org mode using a custom python plugin.

Regarding the mapping, I think it should follow spacevim general rules, but also leave the user the possibility to use the default Emacs like mapping.

[wsdjeg]

I just create https://github.com/SpaceVim/org-mode, and I will working on it later.

I think use spacevim default snippt plugin neosnippet will be better.

for key mapping, I think SPC l is easy to press than C-c, and if all the mapping only will be used in org buffer. I think language specified mapping will be better

I use vim org mode on top of spacevim. I just add the plugin like any other to my init.vim and it seems to work fine out of the box without any conflicts that I've encountered.

[wsdjeg]

@PeteW Thanks for your info. :)

[wsdjeg]

I just have forked VimOrganizer into org-mode, and will make some changed.

[wsdjeg]

@konradedgar If you want to use vim-orgmode, you can use org mode on top of spacevim, just like what petew did.

Just noticed this was closed. What is the recommended process to enable org-mode exactly? Thx

[zhujinxuan]

@vnijs I think both wsdjeg and I do not have time on that.

[vnijs]

Got it @zhujinxuan. I was just wondering how to enable org-mode as @PeteW suggested. It seems that adding the following to .SpaceVim.d/init.toml works:

[[custom_plugins]]
name = 'jceb/vim-orgmode'

hello, everyone, I have opened new issue about the org mode in vim:
