Filetype detection, syntax highlighting, auto-formatting, auto-completion, and other tools for working with ledger files.
|
|||
|
|
Compatible with both [`ledger`][ledgercli] and [`hledger`][hledger].
|
|||
|
|
See [plaintextaccounting.org][pta] for background information and other useful links.

|
## Usage
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Install as you would any other VIM plugin.
|
|||
|
|
There are a variety of ways depending on your plugin manager.
|
|||
|
|
For example with [Pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) you would clone this repository into your configuration directory.
|
|||
|
|
With [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) and many similar ones, you would declare it in your rc file like this, then run `:PlugInstall`:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```vimscript
|
|||
|
|
Plug 'ledger/vim-ledger'
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can also manually copy the corresponding directories into your VIM plugins directory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One installed this plugin will identify files ending with `.ldg`, `.ledger`, or `.journal` as ledger files automatically.
|
|||
|
|
Alaternatively if you use a different extension you can add a modeline to each like this:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```ledger
|
|||
|
|
; 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 implemented for transactions descriptions and posting account names.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 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.
