Usage

Keybindings:

• Preview Markdown Wiki:

  • Press <leader>mip to render and index the Vimwiki Markdown files.

• Convert and Open Markdown:

  • Press <leader>mp to convert the current Markdown file to HTML and open it in Qutebrowser.

Script Options:

• The shell script supports:

Troubleshooting
