Vim Marker Sharpener

There are tons of plugins that do similar things or even the same. So why create this one?

This plugin works properly in VIM VISUAL mode.
You can configure your vimrc and use a leader key combo to format selected text as bold, italic, and more via a command list.

If you're not a VIM user, check out what the plugin can do — it enhances the basic text formatting functionality.

We Couldn't, Now We Can

• Commands for formatting as bold – highlight – italic – strikethrough – code – comments
• Combine multiple formatting styles
• Remove formatting from a selected block
• Delete formatting
• Format a word in NORMAL mode
• ...and more I forgot to mention

Here's How It Works

Planned Features

• Proper support for non-vim selection mode
• clear format command
• Jump to next formatting
• Format the formatting (meta!)
• Format part of a sentence, or the whole sentence

Installation & Usage

For regular users, the plugin also works — you just need to bind the plugin's commands to hotkeys and enjoy the formatting process.

For ❤️ Vimers ❤️

The plugin shines when you create a .vimrc file. To do this, install this plugin:

• Vimrc Support https://github.com/esm7/obsidian-vimrc-support
  Implements .vimrc behavior.
  By default, the file should be located at: path/to/VaultName/.obsidian.vimrc — this is configurable in Vimrc Support settings.

You’ll need to create a VIM command for each plugin command.

Here’s an example .vimrc to format text as bold.
In VISUAL or VISUAL LINE mode, pressing !b or <Space>b will format the selected text as bold.
In normal mode, use <Space>efb.

" bold 
exmap toggleBoldCommand obcommand vim-marker-sharpener:toggle-bold
map <Space>efb :toggleBoldCommand<CR>
vmap <Space>b :toggleBoldCommand<CR>
vmap !b :toggleBoldCommand<CR>

And here's a full example of my .vimrc for all commands:

" bold 
exmap toggleBoldCommand obcommand vim-marker-sharpener:toggle-bold
map <Space>efb :toggleBoldCommand<CR>
vmap <Space>b :toggleBoldCommand<CR>
vmap !b :toggleBoldCommand<CR>

" highlight
exmap toggleHighlightCommand obcommand vim-marker-sharpener:toggle-highlight
map <Space>efh :toggleHighlightCommand<CR>
vmap !h :toggleHighlightCommand<CR>
vmap <Space>h :toggleHighlightCommand<CR>

" italic
exmap toggleItalicCommand obcommand vim-marker-sharpener:toggle-italic
map <Space>efi :toggleItalicCommand<CR>
vmap !i :toggleItalicCommand<CR>
vmap <Space>i :toggleItalicCommand<CR>

" strikethrough
exmap toggleStrikethroughCommand  obcommand vim-marker-sharpener:toggle-strikethrough
map <Space>efs :toggleStrikethroughCommand<CR>
vmap !s :toggleStrikethroughCommand<CR>
vmap <Space>s :toggleStrikethroughCommand<CR>

" code 
exmap toggleCodeCommand obcommand vim-marker-sharpener:toggle-code
map <Space>efc :toggleCodeCommand<CR>
vmap !c :toggleCodeCommand<CR>
vmap <Space>c :toggleCodeCommand<CR>
