osseus

I have this little setup dubbed “Osseus” that allows me to load templates (stored in ~/.osseus/) into vim. It works in tandem with dmenu and can be summoned with <leader>m.

function Osseus(template)
  :1,$d
  execute ':read ' . '~/.osseus/' . a:template
endfunction

function OsseusMenu()
  :1,$d
  :read ! cat ~/.osseus/$(ls -1 ~/.osseus | dmenu)
endfunction

nmap <leader>m :call OsseusMenu()<CR>
