my question is how to uninstall, or remove it from wiki? I'm not a advanced vimer, but I'm working on it.

Do you want to find out how to uninstall vimwiki from vim?

Just delete its files from either ~/.vim/ or ~/vimfiles/.

How do I get vimwiki to be the default when I open vim?

Comment by project member tpospi...@gmail.com, Feb 26, 2011

To open your wiki index file (after you started vim, with no file loaded): type \ww (if you have only one wiki). It is certainly not a good idea to try to make Vim do this automatically, unless you are really sure you never want to create other files from scratch...

Fantastic addition to Vim. I wonder if I didn't copy the installation correctly. I am getting the following errors when I try to escape into normal mode:

Hi John,

First, it would help if you could submit this as an issue.

I can think of two reasons for this happening.

1) You have defined your own syntax file, but did not define the g:vimwiki_rxTableSep variable. What is the result of the command

:echo g:vimwiki_rxTableSep

If this is undefined, you will see an "Undefined variable" error message and it is time to re-visit your markup syntax file. Otherwise, it might print a pipe character "|".

2) You have an older version of vimwiki in your vim plugin directory and some of its files are conflicting …

Regards, - Stu
