Overview

Compared to Vim/Neovim, one of the great features of Emacs is Org Mode. Org Mode is for keeping notes, maintaining to-do lists, planning projects, authoring documents, computational notebooks, literate programming, and more — in a fast and effective plain-text system.

In this article let’s go through the available options for Vim/Neovim for taking notes and managing to-do lists.

VimWiki

This is one of the most popular options we have for Vim/Neovim. Combining this withglow.nvim which I mentioned in my previous article makes writing a Markdown document extremely easy.

With VimWiki, you can:

• Organize notes and ideas
• Manage to-do lists
• Write documentation
• Maintain a diary
• Export everything to HTML

VimWiki with Glow

Once you master the key bindings, editing Markdown documents and writing notes should be easy.
