# Vim or Neovim as a Manpager Replacement
|
|
vim religion invades the manpages
|
|
* tutorial video: [Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjYgAn5li4g)
|

|
|
### vim as manpager
|
|
vim ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
|
|
export MANPAGER="/bin/sh -c \"col -b | vim --not-a-term -c 'set ft=man ts=8 nomod nolist noma' -\""
|
|
|
|
# extra stuff in vimrc
|
|
vim ~/.vimrc
|
|
set cursorline " Highligt the cursor line
|
|
set cursorcolumn " Highlight the column line
|
|
set number " Show the line number
|
|
|
|
### neovim as manpager with table of contents
|
|
nvim ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
|
|
export MANPAGER="nvim +set\ filetype=man -"
|
|
|
|
if the above doesn't work try the following:
|
|
export MANPAGER="nvim -c 'set ft=man' -"
|
|
|
|
nvim ~/.config/fish/config.fish
|
|
set MANPAGER "nvim -c 'set ft=man' -"
|
|
|
|
The following code snippet does seem to disable the default keybinding gO to toggle the TOC:
|
|
nvim ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
|
|
filetype plugin on
|
|
syntax on
|
|
|
|
" manpage with table of contents sidebar with neovim
|
|
" https://asciinema.org/a/165076
|
|
" add to shellrc: export MANPAGER="nvim +set\ filetype=man -"
|
|
augroup manlaunchtoc
|
|
autocmd!
|
|
if has('nvim')
|
|
autocmd FileType man
|
|
\ call man#show_toc() |
|
|
\ setlocal laststatus=0 nonumber norelativenumber |
|
|
\ nnoremap <buffer> l <Enter> |
|
|
\ wincmd H |
|
|
\ vert resize 35 |
|
|
\ wincmd p
|
|
endif
|
|
augroup end
|
|
|
