## Description
Vim syntax file to imitate the syntax highting of Fast Log Entry (FLE).
## Why?
Because it's nice to take a small GNU/Linux based laptop with me on portable operations, just log everything with VIM and do the rest at home.
## Extras / Shortcuts
You can insert the current time in UTC and HHMM format by pressing < F5 > and the current date string by pressing < F6 > if you add the following lines to your .vimrc file:
"Insert current time in HHMM format with < F5 >
let $TZ='UTC'
:nnoremap < F5 > "=strftime("%H%M ")< CR > P
:inoremap < F5 > < C-R > =strftime("%H%M ")< CR >
"Insert current date with < F6 >
:nnoremap < F6 > "=strftime("date %G-%m-%d")< CR > P
:inoremap < F6 > < C-R > =strftime("date %G-%m-%d")< CR >
## Install
Copy or symlink these files to your $VIMRUNTIME/syntax and $VIMRUNTIME/ftdetect directory or to
~/.vim/syntax and ~/.vim/ftdetect directories
