vim-ledger
==========
This is the ledger filetype for Vim.
Usage
-----
Copy each file to the corresponding directory in your `~/.vim` directory or
install using [Pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen).
You can also use a modeline like this in every ledger file:
vim:filetype=ledger
Tips and useful commands
------------------------
* Try account-completion (as explained below)
* `:call ledger#transaction_date_set(line('.'), 'auxiliary')`
will set today's date as the auxiliary date of the current transaction. You
can use also `primary` or `unshift` in place of `auxiliary`. When you pass
"unshift" the old primary date will be set as the auxiliary date and today's
date will be set as the new primary date.
To use a different date pass a date measured in seconds since 1st Jan 1970
as the third argument.
* `:call ledger#transaction_state_set(line('.'), '*')`
sets the state of the current transaction to '*'. You can use this in custom
mappings.
* `:call ledger#transaction_state_toggle(line('.'), ' *?!')`
will toggle through the provided transaction states. You can map this to
double-clicking for example:
noremap <silent><buffer> <2-LeftMouse>\
:call ledger#transaction_state_toggle(line('.'), ' *?!')<CR>
* Align commodities at the decimal point. See `help ledger-tips`.
* `:call ledger#entry()`
will replace the text on the current line with a new transaction based
on the replaced text.
Configuration
-------------
Include the following let-statements somewhere in your `.vimrc` to modify the
behaviour of the ledger filetype.
* Number of columns that will be used to display the foldtext. Set this when
you think that the amount is too far off to the right.
let g:ledger_maxwidth = 80
* String that will be used to fill the space between account name and amount in
the foldtext. Set this to get some kind of lines or visual aid.
let g:ledger_fillstring = ' -'
* If you want the account completion to be sorted by level of detail/depth
instead of alphabetical, include the following line:
let g:ledger_detailed_first = 1
* By default vim will fold ledger transactions, leaving surrounding blank lines
unfolded. You can use `g:ledger_fold_blanks` to hide blank lines following a
transaction.
let g:ledger_fold_blanks = 0
A value of 0 will disable folding of blank lines, 1 will allow folding of a
single blank line between transactions; any larger value will enable folding
undconditionally.
Note that only lines containing no trailing spaces are considered for
folding. You can take advantage of this to disable this feature on a
case-by-case basis.
Completion
----------
Omni completion is currently implemented for account names only.
### Accounts
Account names are matched by the start of every sub-level. When you
insert an account name like this:
Asse<C-X><C-O>
You will get a list of top-level accounts that start like this.
Go ahead and try something like:
As:Ban:Che<C-X><C-O>
When you have an account like this, 'Assets:Bank:Checking' should show up.
When you want to complete on a virtual transaction, it's currently best
to keep the cursor in front of the closing bracket. Of course you can
insert the closing bracket after calling the completion, too.
