VIM keybindings for OneNote brings the efficiency of VIM to the organizing power of Onenote.
This project uses AutoHotKey. If you don't have autohotkey installed you can still run prebuilt executables.
You can run the VIM keybinding via autohotkey, or by downloading and running the prebuilt executable.
-
Download vim_onenote.exe from releases
-
Run the buildscript to compile to exe from source .ahk
The buildscript can run the tests beforehand when passed /t as an argument. This runs the tests with the -quiet flag, so no messageboxes interrupt execution.
Clone this repo and run the script via AutoHotKey.
REM Launch AutoHotKey passing vim_onenote as the script name.

Numbers can be used before a motion to repeat it.
There are lots of quirks because AutoHotKey doesn't know the current cursor location, and OneNote behaves differently based on the cursor location. I'll list some of the bigger ones here
- Fold only works in list mode.
