==============================================================================
USAGE *ledger-usage*
Copy each file to the corresponding directory in your ~/.vim directory or
install using Pathogen.
You can also use a modeline like this in every ledger file:
vim:filetype=ledger
==============================================================================
TIPS *ledger-tips*
Tips and useful commands
* vim-ledger can do syntax-sensitive folding when you set `foldmethod=syntax`
in the |modeline| of your ledger file. This way transactions can shrink down
to just one line.
* Try account-completion (as explained below). If you use YouCompleteMe, you
should disable it for Ledger files. Put this in your .vimrc:
if exists('g:ycm_filetype_blacklist')
call extend(g:ycm_filetype_blacklist, { 'ledger': 1 })
endif
* You may use `:make` for syntax checking. It may be convenient to define a
mapping for the following command:
:silent make | redraw! | cwindow
It is recommended to set the value of `g:ledger_extra_options` (see below)
as follows:
let g:ledger_extra_options = '--pedantic --explicit --check-payees'
to catch most potential problems in your source file.
* Remap vim paragraph motion to move by transaction.
In vim, the "{" and "}" keystrokes move the cursor up and down by whole
paragraphs. They can be redefined in ledger files to move by transaction
instead. Add these lines to .vimrc:
au FileType ledger noremap { ?^\d<CR>
au FileType ledger noremap } /^\d<CR>
The default definitions already work in ledger files that separate
transactions with blank lines.
* `: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>
* `:call ledger#transaction_post_state_set(line('.'), '*')`
is similar to ledger#transaction_state_set but can set state of individual
post.
* `:call ledger#transaction_post_state_toggle(line('.'), ' *?!')`
is similar to ledger#transaction_state_toggle but can toggle state of
individual post.
* `:LedgerAlign`
moves the amount expression of a posting so that the decimal separator is
aligned at the column specified by g:ledger_align_at. If an amount has no
decimal point, the imaginary decimal point to the right of the least
significant digit will align. The command acts on a range, with the default
being the current line.
The decimal separator can be set using `g:ledger_decimal_sep`. The default
value of `g:ledger_decimal_sep` is `'.'`.
See below for the recommended mappings.
* `:LedgerAlignBuffer`
This command aligns the commodity for each posting in the entire buffer,
similar to the command `:LedgerAlign`. It differs from manually specifying
the entire buffer as the range to `:LedgerAlign` or
`ledger#align_commodity()` by saving and restoring the cursor and window
position.
Due to performance concerns, it is not recommended to call this command
on large buffers.
* `:call ledger#align_amount_at_cursor()`
aligns the amount under the cursor and append/prepend the default currency.
The default currency can be set using `g:ledger_default_commodity`. Whether
the commodity should be inserted before the amount or appended to it can be
configured with the boolean flag `g:ledger_commodity_before` (the default
value is 1). A separator between the commodity and the amount may be set
using `g:ledger_commodity_sep`.
See below for the recommended mappings.
* `:call ledger#autocomplete_and_align()`
when the cursor is on a number or immediately after it, invokes
`ledger#align_amount_at_cursor()` to align it and add the default currency;
otherwise, performs autocompletion. If you define the following mappings in
your `.vimrc` then you may perform both autocompletion and alignment using
the <Tab> key:
au FileType ledger inoremap <silent> <Tab> \
<C-r>=ledger#autocomplete_and_align()<CR>
au FileType ledger vnoremap <silent> <Tab> :LedgerAlign<CR>
Alternatively, you may create a file `.vim/after/ftplugin/ledger.vim`
containing the following definitions:
inoremap <silent> <buffer> <Tab> \
<C-r>=ledger#autocomplete_and_align()<CR>
vnoremap <silent> <buffer> <Tab> :LedgerAlign<CR>
Now, you may type `asset:check<Tab><Space>123.45<Tab>`, and have the
account name autocompleted and `$123.45` properly aligned (assuming your
default commodity is set to `'$'`). Or you may press <Tab> in Visual mode
to align a number of transactions at once.
* `:call ledger#entry()`
enters a new transaction based on the text in the current line.
The text in the current line is replaced by the new transaction.
This is a front end to `ledger entry`.
==============================================================================
REPORTS *ledger-reports*
* `:Ledger`
Executes an arbitrary Ledger command and sends the output to a new buffer.
For example:
:Ledger bal ^assets ^liab
Errors are displayed in a quickfix window. The command offers account and
payee autocompletion (by pressing <Tab>): every name starting with `@` is
autocompleted as a payee; any other name is autocompleted as an account.
In a report buffer or in the quickfix window, you may press <Tab> to switch
back to your source file, and you may press `q` to dismiss the current window.
There are three highlight groups that are used to color the report:
* `LedgerNumber`
This is used to color nonnegative numbers.
* `LedgerNegativeNumber`
This is used to color negative numbers.
* `LedgerImproperPerc`
This is used to color improper percentages.
* `:Balance`
Show the pending and cleared balance of a given account below the status
line. For example:
:Balance checking:savings
The command offers payee and account autocompletion (see `:Ledger`). The
account argument is optional: if no argument is given, the first account
name found in the current line is used.
Two highlight groups can be used to customize the colors of the line:
* `LedgerCleared`
This is used to color the cleared balance.
* `LedgerPending`
This is used to color the pending balance.
* `:Register`
Opens an arbitrary register report in the quickfix window. For example:
:Register groceries -p 'this month'
The command offers account and payee autocompletion (see |:Ledger|). You
may use the standard quickfix commands to jump from an entry in the register
report to the corresponding location in the source file. If you use GUI Vim
or if your terminal has support for the mouse (e.g., iTerm2, or even
Terminal.app in OS X 10.11 or later), you may also double-click on a line
number in the quickfix window to jump to the corresponding posting.
It is strongly recommended that you add mappings for common quickfix
commands like `:cprev` and `:cnext`, or that you use T. Pope's Unimpaired
plugin.
* :`Reconcile`
Reconcile an account. For example:
:Reconcile checking
After you press Enter, you will be asked to enter a target amount (use
Vim's syntax for numbers, not your ledger's format). For example, for a
checking account, the target amount may be the balance of your latest bank
statement. The list of uncleared postings appears in the quickfix window.
The current balance of the account, together with the difference between the
target amount and the cleared balance, is shown at the bottom of the screen.
You may use standard quickfix commands to navigate through the postings. You
may use |ledger#transaction_state_set()| to update a transaction's state.
Every time you save your file, the balance and the difference from the
target amount are updated at the bottom of the screen. The goal, of course,
is to get such difference to zero. You may press `<C-l>` to refresh the
Reconcile buffer. To finish reconciling an account, simply close the
quickfix window.
There is a highlight group to customize the color of the difference from
target:
* `LedgerTarget`
This is used to color the difference between the target amount and the
cleared balance.
==============================================================================
SETTINGS *ledger-settings*
Configuration
Include the following let-statements somewhere in your `.vimrc` to modify the
behaviour of the ledger filetype.
* Path to the `ledger` executable:
let g:ledger_bin = 'ledger'
* Additional default options for the `ledger` executable:
let g:ledger_extra_options = ''
* To use a custom external system command to generate a list of account names
for completion, set the following. If g:ledger_bin is set, this will default
to running that command with arguments to parse the current file using the
accounts subcommand (works with ledger or hledger), otherwise it will parse
the postings in the current file itself.
let g:ledger_accounts_cmd = 'your_command args'
* To use a custom external system command to generate a list of descriptions
for completion, set the following. If g:ledger_bin is set, this will default
to running that command with arguments to parse the current file using the
descriptions subcommand (works with ledger or hledger), otherwise it will
parse the transactions in the current file itself.
let g:ledger_descriptions_cmd = 'your_command args'
* 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
unconditionally.
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.
* Decimal separator:
let g:ledger_decimal_sep = '.'
* Specify at which column decimal separators should be aligned:
let g:ledger_align_at = 60
* Default commodity used by `ledger#align_amount_at_cursor()`:
let g:ledger_default_commodity = ''
* Align on the commodity location instead of the amount
let g:ledger_align_commodity = 1
* Flag that tells whether the commodity should be prepended or appended to the
amount:
let g:ledger_commodity_before = 1
* String to be put between the commodity and the amount:
let g:ledger_commodity_sep = ''
* Flag that enable the spelling of the amount:
let g:ledger_commodity_spell = 1
* Format of transaction date:
let g:ledger_date_format = '%Y/%m/%d'
* The file to be used to generate reports:
let g:ledger_main = '%'
The default is to use the current file.
* Position of a report buffer:
let g:ledger_winpos = 'B'
Use `b` for bottom, `t` for top, `l` for left, `r` for right. Use uppercase letters
if you want the window to always occupy the full width or height.
* Format of quickfix register reports (see |:Register|):
let g:ledger_qf_register_format = \
'%(date) %-50(payee) %-30(account) %15(amount) %15(total)\n'
The format is specified using the standard Ledger syntax for --format.
* Format of the reconcile quickfix window (see |:Reconcile|):
let g:ledger_qf_reconcile_format = \
'%(date) %-4(code) %-50(payee) %-30(account) %15(amount)\n'
The format is specified using the standard Ledger syntax for --format.
* Flag that tells whether a location list or a quickfix list should be used:
let g:ledger_use_location_list = 0
The default is to use the quickfix window. Set to 1 to use a location list.
* Position of the quickfix/location list:
let g:ledger_qf_vertical = 0
Set to 1 to open the quickfix window in a vertical split.
* Size of the quickfix window:
let g:ledger_qf_size = 10
This is the number of lines of a horizontal quickfix window, or the number
of columns of a vertical quickfix window.
* Flag to show or hide filenames in the quickfix window:
let g:ledger_qf_hide_file = 1
Filenames in the quickfix window are hidden by default. Set this to 1 is
you want filenames to be visible.
* Text of the output of the |:Balance| command:
let g:ledger_cleared_string = 'Cleared: '
let g:ledger_pending_string = 'Cleared or pending: '
let g:ledger_target_string = 'Difference from target: '
==============================================================================
COMPLETION *ledger-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.
