README.md

nvcli

FIXME: general description here

Installation

Install nvcli by running:

$ gem install nvcli

The installation may take a while, as the Xapian search library will be fetched and compiled for your machine.

Configuration

The first time you run nvcli, it will create a configuration file in your platform's configuration directory (either ~/Library/Application Support/nvcli, ~/.config/nvcli, or $APPDATA\nvcli). This is a YAML file containing the following keys:

notes_dir (default: ~/Notes): The folder containing all of your notes. Sub-folders within this folder are not supported (following the original Notational Velocity model).
notes_ext (default: .md): The file extension for all of your notes. Files in the notes directory not containing this extension will not be parsed. This must be Markdown (as nvcli will parse the Markdown of your notes), but could be, for instance, .md, .markdown, .txt, etc. This value must include the dot.
language (default: en): The note searching is internally performed by the Xapian search server, which will correct spelling and stem words in the selected language. Set to an ISO language code.
use_hash (default: true): If true, nvcli will check the hash (xxHash's XXH64) of your notes in order to see if they should be re-parsed in the search database. If false, the file's modification time will be used instead. Hashing is, in general, extremely fast, so you shouldn't need to set this to false for normal workloads.
color (default: true): If true, the console output will be colorized.

Usage

All you need to know are the various key bindings:

Esc or Ctrl + Q: Quit the program
↑ and ↓: Scroll through the list of notes
Enter: If there is a note selected, open it in your editor
Tab: Create a new note, with the filename set to the current content on the search line. The note will be placed in your notes directory, and your chose notes file extension will automatically be added.
(any other typing): Add to the search that is being performed in the list.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
