This package provides Vim support for Papis a command-line based bibliography manager.

This package depends on fzf.vim.

If you want to use the (experimental) :PapisCreateBibliography command, you need to install the papis custom script papis-format, that is provided in the papis_assets/ directory. Copy all of the folders contents next to your papis config file, e.g. to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/papis when using a Linux machine.

Add these lines to the .vimrc:

Plugin 'junegunn/fzf'
Plugin '[email protected]:papis/papis-vim.git'

The :Papis command will open a search window for your bibliographic database. Enter command will insert citation for the selected record in the current buffer.

The :PapisView command will open the pdf file of the citation currently under your cursor with the same pdf-reader used by papis. This currently only works when using whoosh as backend for the papis database. Add the following to your config file of papis:

database-backend = whoosh
whoosh-schema-fields = ['ref']

The second is needed to enable whoosh for searches through the ref field.

Add the following to your tex.vim file for useful keyboard shortcuts:

nnoremap <buffer> <localleader>pc :Papis<cr>
nnoremap <buffer> <localleader>pv :PapisView<cr>
