My helper vim plugin for SmartThings tools

Vimwiki Helpers for SmartThings Tools

I like to keep track of outstanding reviews, tickets, etc. in vimwiki. One annoyance though is adding those tasks to vimwiki: the links for Atlassian and Github don't include title information in their URLs, so I'm stuck either having to enter my own titles or having to open links to remind myself what they are.

This little script uses the tool APIs to take a URL and return a formatted vimwiki link that has the URL, type (i.e. Confluence, Github), and title. This is mapped to a keybinding in vim that reads the current value from my clipboard so all I have to do to insert the link is copy it from an email, Slack, etc and hit the keybinding.

The binding can be installed with a vim plugin manager, i.e. for Plug. The helper script also needs to be on your PATH - I manage these together with pipx and the Plug do command:

Plug 'nastevens/stvimhelper', { 'do': 'pipx install --force .', 'for': 'vimwiki' }

With that inserting a link from the clipboard is bound to in insert mode.
