vim-logbook

vim-logbook is a minimalist vim plugin which makes keeping a programming logbook easier. I find that keeping a logbook improves my learning, debugging and focus.

I've blogged about keeping a logbook, and I highly recommend Peter Lyons' article on the same topic.

vim-logbook assumes the following structure:

  • Each day's logs are stored in a separate file, stored at ~/logbook/yyyy-mm-dd.md
  • Each logbook entry is marked with a timestamp

Commands

vim-logbook implements two commands:

  • :Lb - open today's logbook in the current buffer
  • :Ts - insert a timestamp under the cursor
