Mar 2, 2023 at 18:16 comment added PedroSantana Yeah I tried but unfortunately it seems the syntax cannot be used in the way I'm thinking. I'll look into the more well known markdown plugins like vimwiki, wiki.vim and vim-markdown. Let's see how it goes haha.But anyway, thank you for your help!
Mar 2, 2023 at 18:00 comment added Vivian De Smedt You can use match but may be you could also use the result of syntax and catch the part of the text that is assigned to the highlighting group.
Mar 2, 2023 at 17:48 comment added PedroSantana But instead of using the match() in vimscript, I was wondering if it was possible to use a similar method to the one I mentioned, using syn, start and end for example.
Mar 2, 2023 at 17:47 comment added PedroSantana Hi! Sorry for not being more clear, I want to match and return the string of a given pattern, in this case a link, exactly the one you mentioned, similar to vimwiki, so when I press Enter, I can match this string.
Mar 2, 2023 at 17:21 comment added Vivian De Smedt Welcome to Vim :-) I'm not sure I understand what you want to achieve or maybe I'm misled by the use of the syntax feature. The syntax feature is used for colorization but I understand that you would like to map <CR> to an action that would apply to a markdown link (like in vimwiki)
