VimWIKI Quick Reference and default keybindings

Opening VIM WIKI

Likely the most common thing you will want to do is open the main index file. This is the default entry point into your WIKI. You'll want to put your main broad categories here likely and maybe your daily to-dos. You don't have to worry to much about this as you can rearrange things later if you want.

  • <leader> ww — opens the index file
  • <leader> wt — opens the index file in a new tab
  • <leader> ws — list and select available wikis

Diary

VIM WIKI has some decent diary management too for pages that are identified as a diary. This is mostly convenient for creating a diary for today/tomorrow/yesterday
