Key Features
- Convenient Note Taking: By pressing :note, you can open the paper’s corresponding text file in vim, write down your thoughts, and exit vim to resume the interface.
- Easy Attribute Modification: of a paper item. By pressing ‘V’, it would ask vim to open the bib_collection.bib file, and put the cursor under the current chosen paper. So that you can modify whatever information and save it.
- URL-based Paper: You can add a paper/article with url link instead of a pdf. When pdf field is empty, BibMan will seek for url field. And if url field is not empty, it will open that url using your default browser.
- Comprehensive Search: You can search the whole thing. Currently, the search function allows you to search if a keyword appear in any data data fields.
