A Vim/Neovim plugin that brings Notational Velocity-style note-taking to the editor, where searching for a note and creating one are the same operation. It uses fzf (with ripgrep) to fuzzy-search plain-text notes across configured directories and create new notes from unmatched queries.

Use cases

• take plain-text notes in vim with instant fuzzy search
• create a note by searching for a title that doesn't exist yet
• search and open notes from multiple directories without leaving vim
• replace nvALT with vim-based note management
• quickly filter markdown or text notes with fzf

When to choose

• you live in Vim/Neovim and want fast plain-text note search and creation
• you want nvALT-like behavior with splits and Vim's editing power
• your notes are large plain-text files that other note apps lag on

When to avoid

• you want a GUI note-taking app with rich formatting or sync
• you don't use Vim/Neovim or don't have fzf and ripgrep installed
• you need structured note databases or mobile access
