Vimliner is the simplest outliner for vim. It uses vim's existing code folding capabilities with some simple configuration. The result is a fast, powerful outliner using your favourite text editor.
Install vimliner by saving vimliner.vim to $HOME/.vim/ftdetect/vimliner.vim
on unix, or $HOME/vimfiles/ftdetect/vimliner.vim on Windows.
Save your outliner files with a .out extension for vimliner to be
autodetected. Otherwise, use :set filetype=vimliner from within vim.
The outliner uses an indentation level of 2 white spaces to create new levels. You can use vim's default code folding shortcuts to move throughout your outline, or just use TAB to open and close levels.
The most frequent shortcut keys you will use are:
TAB open or close the current fold
zx close all other folds
dd to delete a fold (when it is closed)
[p to paste at the current indent level (use with dd to move outlines)
Use :help fold-commands in vim for additional shorcuts.
The fold function consumes blank lines. If you need to separate one fold from another, use a string of space characters that match the current indent level.
