# vim-fle-syntax
Vim syntax plugin for writing Fast Log Entry (https://df3cb.com/fle/) compatible log files in Vim.
# Screenshot

## 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:
" set timezone to UTC
let $TZ='UTC'
" insert current time in HHMM format with <F5>
:nnoremap <F5> "=strftime("%H%M ")<CR>P
:inoremap <F5> <C-R>=strftime("%H%M ")<CR>
" insert current date with <F6>
:nnoremap <F6> "=strftime("date %G-%m-%d")<CR>P
:inoremap <F6> <C-R>=strftime("date %G-%m-%d")<CR>
## Install
Copy or symlink these files to your _$VIMRUNTIME/syntax_ and _$VIMRUNTIME/ftdetect_ directory or to _~/.vim/syntax_ and _~/.vim/ftdetect_ directories:
# cd ~/
# git clone https://codeberg.org/mclemens/vim-fle-syntax.git
# mkdir -p ~/.vim/syntax
# mkdir -p ~/.vim/ftdetect
# ln -s ~/vim-fle-syntax/syntax/fle.vim ~/.vim/syntax/fle.vim
# ln -s ~/vim-fle-syntax/ftdetect/fle.vim ~/.vim/ftdetect/fle.vim
# vim ~/.vimrc # <<- optional: paste above lines into this file
## Update
# cd ~/vim-fle-syntax
# git pull
## Usage
Just open any text file ending with .fle in vim:
# vim ~/mylog.fle
Press F5 to enter timestamp, press F6 to enter current date string.
