NeoVim note save

Automatically saves a file in the ~/notes/ directory using the content of the first non empty line as the name of the file.

This is intended for uses of NewVim as a sticky notes editor for the desktop.

Install

Use your favorite Plug-In manager for NeoVim to add 'camilotorresf/neovim-note-save':

Plug 'camilotorresf/neovim-note-save'

Restart NeoVim then run these 2 commands:

:PlugInstall
:UpdateRemotePlugins

This adds 2 commands:

:NoteWrite - To automatically save the content of the file in the ~/notes/ directory, using the first line as the name of the file.
:NoteExcit - To exit the editor trying to save the file first.

To save the notes to a different directory, add this to your .config/nvim/init.vim:

set note-save-directory=/home/camilo/mynotes

You can map your favorite keystrokes sequence to these commands:

nnoremap <Leader>nw :NoteWrite<CR>
nnoremap <Leader>nx :NoteExit<CR>
