About

VLide.vim is a global plugin for interactive presentations.

Requirements

• Vim 7.0+

Usage

VLide.vim allows you to use Vim as a presentation tool.

Slides are separated by:

• ====================================================

Subslides by:

• ----------------------------------------------------

Besides displaying content it can run commands and modify syntax highlighting per slide by using @blocks:

@autoexe{ vim: set tw=78 ts=8 ft=sh: }

@autoexe{sh}
    printf "%s\\n" "Hello world!"
@end

To move around, it maps the following keys:

Key	Action
<Space>	Next Slide
<Backspace>	Previous Slide

Subslides

Slides separated by g:vlide_subslide_separator are automatically handled as steps of the main slide and displayed in order.

Subslide 1

Subslide 2

Subslide 3

Tmux

A specially interesting use case is combining vlide.vim with tmux to launch interactive demo sessions. To get a glanse at this, execute the following command in a new terminal:

$ tmux kill-session -t vlide-demo; tmux new-session -s vlide-demo vim

Now type :VLideReferenceSlide 12 from the recently opened tmux session. You should see a <0> blinking a couple of times, if that's the case you've followed the procedure sucessfully, keep pressing <Space> in the new session to see the demo

See :h Vlide for more help.
