Vim plugin for Himalaya CLI email client.
Bringing emails to the terminal is a pain. The mainstream TUI, (neo)mutt, takes time to configure. The default mapping is not intuitive when coming from the Vim environment. It is even scary to use at the beginning, since you are dealing with sensitive data!
The aim of Himalaya is to extract the email logic into a simple (yet solid) CLI API that can be used either directly from the terminal or UIs. It gives users more flexibility.
This Vim plugin is a TUI implementation for Himalaya CLI.
First you need to install and configure the himalaya
CLI. Then you can install
this plugin with your favorite plugin manager. For eg with
vim-plug add to your .vimrc:
Plug "soywod/himalaya.vim"Then:
:PlugInstall:Himalaya
