papis vim biblatex

• The papis-vim package provides Vim support for Papis, command-line based bibliography manager.
• Getting an error every time I run a papis command #867 reveals a missing dependency on setuptools:

    uv tool install papis --with setuptools
  

• Initial Papis configuration, with papis init, creates a configuration file. ~/.config/papis/config:

    [settings]
    default-library = jdfen
  
    [jdfen]
    dir = /c/Users/jdfen/OneDrive/Documents/papis
    opentool = wslview
    editor = vim
    use-git = True
    notes-name = notes_{doc[ref]}.md
    database-backend = papis
    bibtex-unicode = True
    ref-format = {doc[title]:.15} {doc[author]:.6} {doc[year]}
    multiple-authors-format = {au[family]}, {au[given]}
    citations-file-name = citations.yaml
  

• Import an existing BibLaTeX file:

    cd ~/zk
  
    # List missing keys.
    papis bibtex read zk.bib doctor
  
    # Import
    papis bibtex read zk.bib import --all
  
    # Check for errors
    papis doctor --all-checks --all --explain

• Geosharma, Personal notes on creating and using coBib, summarizes the installation and configuration process.
• Install coBib - the Console Bibliography.

    uv tool install cobib
  

• Create ~/.config/cobib/config.py directly or generate the default configuration and modify:

    from cobib.config import config
  
    config.database.file = "~/cobib/database.yaml"
  
    config.utils.file_downloader.default_location = "~/cobib"
  
    config.database.git = True
  
    config.commands.open.command = "wslview"
  

• To generate the default configuration:

    # Create default configuration and update settings.
    mkdir -p ~/.config/cobib
    cobib _example_config > ~/.config/cobib/config.py
  

• Initialize the database:

    # Flush the cache when switching databases.
    rm -r ~/.cache/cobib/
  
    # Use a shared location, like OneDrive.
    mkdir -p ~/userprofile/Documents/cobib
    ln -s ~/userprofile/Documents/cobib cobib
    touch ~/cobib/database.yaml
    # RCRC can manage the symlinks across WSL environments.
    # mkrc -U ~/cobib
  
    cobib init --git
