A Vim plugin for previewing sequence diagram in a browser. It's inspired by vim-markdown-preview and JS Sequence Diagram.
JS Sequence Diagram is awesome! And its online editing feature is cool as well. However, there're 2 drawbacks:
- Online editing is opt to be lost, especially with an unexpected browser fresh or history-back.
- You have to copy&paste between the online web page and your text editor repeatedly for updating/preview.
This vim plugin helps you handle the issues above, write your sequence diagram description in vim, press a hotkey to preview it in browser!

This plugin only applies to files with .seq or .sequence file extension,
that means it has nearly no performance impact on other file types.
Note: Make sure you have renamed the file name with proper extension.
The default keymap is <leader>t, it brings up a browser window and shows the sequence diagram for you.
You can also define your keymap in vimrc.
nmap <unique> <leader>t <Plug>GenerateDiagram
Currently there're mainly 2 themes with js-sequence-diagrams, hand drawn and simple.
You can add the following line into your vimrc for using hand drawn theme, set it to 0 or remove the line for simple theme.
let g:generate_diagram_theme_hand = 1
Use the buttons at the bottom to download the diagram as SVG or PNG.
