viutils

This is a small collection of scripts I've put together to ease the transition from vim to plain vi. I doubt many people will find any utility in these scripts, but at the very least, this repo will provide a central location for me to grab this functionality when I configure a new box.

• vifmt.sh: Run autoformatters on a file
• vireflow.sh: Reflow a paragraph of text according to the file extension, similar to gq in vim.
• vispellcheck.sh: Denote possible misspellings in a paragraph of text. There is a lot that vim includes but vi does not that makes this tricky, so unfortunately this does modify the text to add misspelling delimiters. Without syntax highlighting, this is the closest I could get to proper "integration" with the editor.

Obviously some of these could maybe be defined directly within your .exrc mappings instead of wrapping in a shell script, but what I found was that without autocmds to change behavior based on the buffer type, I needed some level of indirection to change behaviors for different types of files.

Prerequisites

• GNU fmt(1)
• GNU sed(1)
• aspell(1)
• pandoc(1)

Optional:

• go(1)
• goimports(1)
• rubocop(1)

Usage

Add this repository to $PATH, or for the more security conscious, reference each script with an absolute path instead. Each script has an example of how to map this script into your vi's init file.
