# TwitVim - Twitter client for Vim
## Introduction
TwitVim is a Vim plugin that allows you to post to Twitter and view Twitter
timelines. It is an enhancement of [vimscript #2124](http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script\_id=2124)
by Travis Jeffery. Credit goes to Travis for the original script concept and implementation.
TwitVim supports most of the features of a typical Twitter client, including:
- Friends, User, Direct Message, Mentions, and Favorites timelines
- Twitter Search
- Replying and retweeting
- Hashtags (jump to search timeline)
- In reply to (See which tweet an @-reply is for.)
- Opening links in a browser
- User profile display
- Twitter List viewing and managing
- Trending topics
- Timeline filtering
## Prerequisites
TwitVim uses [cURL](http://curl.haxx.se/) to communicate with Twitter.
Alternatively, you can configure TwitVim to use Vim's Perl, Python, Ruby, or
Tcl interfaces for faster network I/O.
Twitter OAuth requires either the [OpenSSL](http://www.openssl.org/)
software or a Vim binary compiled with Perl, Python, Ruby, or Tcl.
Some platforms already have cURL and OpenSSL preinstalled or have
installation packages for those, so that is the easier way to satisfy the
prerequisites.
## Installation
Use one of the methods below, depending on which plugin manager (or not)
you have. After installation, see ```:help TwitVim-install``` for
further instructions.
### Pathogen
Use the following commands:
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/twitvim/twitvim.git
### Vundle
Add the following to your vimrc:
Plugin 'https://github.com/twitvim/twitvim.git'
Install with ```:PluginInstall```.
