Vim to RTF

Converts the current buffer or visually selected text to syntax highlighted RTF text and puts it in the paste buffer.

Inspired by vim-copy-as-rtf.

I wrote this because I write code examples in Vim, and I want to paste them in to Keynote but maintain the syntax highlighting. I've been using vim-copy-as-rtf for years, but it uses a macOS utility called textutil, and that utility has started giving me problems. vim-copy-as-rtf would convert the source to HTML, then use textutil to convert the HTML to RTF. This plugin directly converts the text to RTF without an intermediate HTML file.

Installation

$ git submodule add https://github.com/tenderlove/vim-to-rtf.git pack/dist/start/vim-to-rtf

Usage

Convert the entire buffer to RTF and put it in the paste buffer:

:ToRTF

To select lines and put in the paste buffer, just visual select, then do

:ToRTF

Configuration

The default font it uses is Courier, but you can change it like this:

g:tortf_font = "SF Mono"

No font size is specified by default, but you can specify a font size like this:

g:tortf_font_size = 32
