edit posts with vim

  • Is there a way to directly edit WordPress posts with vim? I do not want to create new posts – I want to edit existing ones. I am especially interested in editing pages, although it would be nice to be able to edit blog entries too.

  • Nope.

    The content of your posts is stored in the MySQL database.

    Howdy. Being stored in a MySQL database does not alone make it impossible to edit in vim. There already is a vim plugin for writing new blog posts – https://not.upbylunch.com/2006/05/16/wordpress-posting-vim-script/ . Assuming that this plugin works, in principle it should be possible to write a vim plugin for editing existing page or blog posts using the MetaWeblog API (or possibly some other way). I asked the author of this plugin about this a few days ago, and didn’t hear anything, so I figured I would ask here.
