Quickstart

Requirements

Neovim 0.9.4 or later

Installation

Use your favourite package manager:

lazy.nvim (recommended)

{
  'nvim-orgmode/orgmode',
  event = 'VeryLazy',
  ft = { 'org' },
  config = function()
    -- Setup orgmode
    require('orgmode').setup({
      org_agenda_files = '~/orgfiles/**/*',
      org_default_notes_file = '~/orgfiles/refile.org',
    })

    -- NOTE: If you are using nvim-treesitter with ~ensure_installed = "all"~ option
    -- add ~org~ to ignore_install
    -- require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup({
    --   ensure_installed = 'all',
    --   ignore_install = { 'org' },
    -- })
  end,
}

packer.nvim

use {'nvim-orgmode/orgmode', config = function()
  require('orgmode').setup{}
end
}

vim-plug

Plug 'nvim-orgmode/orgmode'

dein.vim

call dein#add('nvim-orgmode/orgmode')

Setup

Note that this setup is not needed for lazy.nvim since instructions above covers full setup

-- init.lua

require('orgmode').setup({
  org_agenda_files = {'~/Dropbox/org/*', '~/my-orgs/**/*'},
  org_default_notes_file = '~/Dropbox/org/refile.org',
})

-- NOTE: If you are using nvim-treesitter with ~ensure_installed = "all"~ option
-- add ~org~ to ignore_install
-- require('nvim-treesitter.configs').setup({
--   ensure_installed = 'all',
--   ignore_install = { 'org' },
-- })

Or if you are using ~init.vim~, wrap the above snippet like so:
" init.vim
lua << EOF

require('orgmode').setup({
  org_agenda_files = {'~/Dropbox/org/*', '~/my-orgs/**/*'},
  org_default_notes_file = '~/Dropbox/org/refile.org',
})

EOF

Completion

nvim-cmp

require('cmp').setup({
  sources = {
    { name = 'orgmode' }
  }
})

blink.cmp

require('blink.cmp').setup({
  sources = {
    completion = {
      enabled_providers = { 'lsp', 'path', 'snippets', 'buffer', 'orgmode' }
      -- Or if you want to use only this provider in org files
      -- enabled_providers = function()
      --   if vim.bo.filetype == 'org' then
      --     return { 'orgmode' }
      --   end
      --   return { 'lsp', 'path', 'snippets', 'buffer' }
      -- end
    },
    providers = {
      orgmode = {
        name = 'Orgmode',
        module = 'orgmode.org.autocompletion.blink',
      },
    },
  },
})

completion-nvim

vim.g.completion_chain_complete_list = {
  org = {
    { mode = 'omni'},
  },
}
-- add additional keyword chars
vim.cmd[[autocmd FileType org setlocal iskeyword+=:,#,+]]

Or just use omnifunc via <C-x><C-o>

Usage

Open agenda prompt: <Leader>oa
Open capture prompt: <Leader>oc
In any orgmode buffer press g? for help

If you are new to Orgmode, see Getting started section in the Docs or a hands-on tutorial in our wiki.

Treesitter Info

The built-in treesitter parser is used for parsing the org files.

Known highlighting issues and limitations

LaTex is still highlighted through syntax file

Troubleshoot

Indentation is not working

Make sure you are not overriding indentexpr in Org buffers with nvim-treesitter indentation

I get `treesitter/query.lua` errors when opening agenda/capture prompt or org files

Tree-sitter parser might not be installed. Try running :lua require('orgmode.config'):reinstall_grammar() to reinstall it.

Dates are not in English

Dates are generated with Lua native date support, and it reads your current locale when creating them.

To use different locale you can add this to your init.lua:

vim.cmd('language en_US.utf8')

or init.vim

language en_US.utf8

Just make sure you have en_US locale installed on your system. To see what you have available on the system you can start the command :language and press <TAB> to autocomplete possible options.

Links are not concealed

Links are concealed with Vim’s conceal feature (see :help conceal). To enable concealing, add this to your init.lua:

vim.opt.conceallevel = 2
vim.opt.concealcursor = 'nc'

Or if you are using init.vim:

set conceallevel=2
set concealcursor=nc

Jumping to file path is not working for paths with forward slash

If you are using Windows, paths are by default written with backslashes. To use forward slashes, you must enable shellslash option (see :help shellslash).

vim.opt.shellslash = true

Or if you are using init.vim:

set shellslash

If you built a plugin please add “orgmode-nvim” topic to it.

NOTE: None of the Emacs Orgmode plugins will be built into nvim-orgmode. Anything that’s a separate plugin in Emacs Orgmode should be a separate plugin in here. The point of this plugin is to provide functionality that’s built into Emacs Orgmode core, and a good foundation for external plugins.

If you want to build a plugin, post suggestions and improvements on Plugins infrastructure issue.

@dhruvasagar and his vim-dotoo plugin that got me started using orgmode. Without him this plugin would not happen.
