nêhiyawêwin/ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐍᐏᐣ

Vim plugin that defines digraphs to write syllabics for nêhiyawêwin (Plains Cree).

Demo of typing "ᐊᒋᒧᓯᐢ"

Once installed, you can access the full documentation by typing:

:help nehiyawewin.txt

Or read the documentation online.

NOTE: This plugin overrides many default digraphs (mostly hiragana and katakana characters). I did this because the languages overridden already have established input methods on modern operating systems, and thus, the Vim's digraph feature is not as vital to write them.

Installation

Use your plugin manager of choice.

  • Pathogen
    • git clone https://github.com/eddieantonio/nehiyawewin ~/.vim/bundle/nehiyawewin
  • Vundle
    • Add Bundle 'eddieantonio/nehiyawewin' to .vimrc
    • Run :BundleInstall
  • NeoBundle
    • Add NeoBundle 'eddieantonio/nehiyawewin' to .vimrc
    • Run :NeoBundleInstall
  • vim-plug
    • Add Plug 'eddieantonio/nehiyawewin' to .vimrc
    • Run :PlugInstall

Usage

Like all other digraphs, enter INSERT mode, and start each digraph by typing ctrl+k (which is written as <C-k>):

For example, typing "ᐊᒋᒧᓯᐢ" (acimosis):

<C-k>a.<C-k>ci<C-k>mo<C-k>si<C-k>s.

For more examples, read the documentation, or access it within Vim by typing:

:help nehiyawewin.txt
