# vim-pathaction - Execute the pathaction command-line tool from Vim
Execute pathaction.yaml rules using the pathaction command-line tool from Vim.
(The [pathaction](https://github.com/jamescherti/pathaction) command-line tool enables the execution of specific commands on targeted files or directories. Its key advantage lies in its flexibility, allowing users to handle various types of files simply by passing the file or directory as an argument to the `pathaction` tool. The tool uses a `.pathaction.yaml` rule-set file to determine which command to execute. Additionally, Jinja2 templating can be employed in the rule-set file to further customize the commands.)
## Customizations
### Keybindings
Below are two examples of key bindings (`ee` to execute the "main" tag and `ei` to execute the "install" tag):
```vim
nnoremap ee :call pathaction#run("main")
nnoremap ei :call pathaction#run("install")
```
