ferrine/md-img-paste.vim: paste image to markdown #62

md-img-paste.vim

Yet simple tool to paste images into markdown files

Use Case

You are editing a markdown file and have an image on the clipboard and want to paste it into the document as the text ![](img/image1.png). Instead of first copying it to that directory, you want to do it with a single <leader>p key press in Vim. So it hooks <leader>p, checks if you are editing a Markdown file, saves the image from the clipboard to the location img/image1.png, and inserts ![](img/image1.png) into the file.

Installation

Using Vundle

Plugin 'ferrine/md-img-paste.vim'

Usage

Add to .vimrc

autocmd FileType markdown nmap <silent> <leader>p :call mdip#MarkdownClipboardImage()<CR>
" there are some defaults for image directory and image name, you can change them
" let g:mdip_imgdir = 'img'
" let g:mdip_imgname = 'image'

Acknowledgements

I'm not yet perfect at writing vim plugins but I managed to do it. Thanks to Karl Yngve Lervåg and Rich for help on vi.stackexchange.com where they proposed a solution for my use case.
