Open or create a specific Vimwiki page from a command prompt

Question

For opening the index page of my Vimwiki instance, I have the following alias in my ~/.bashrc:

alias vimwiki='vim -c VimwikiIndex'

But how to open a specific Vimwiki page right from a command prompt?

Answer 1

Add a function like this to you ~/.bashrc:

function vimwikipage() {
  vim -c "VimwikiIndex" -c "VimwikiGoto $1"
}

Now, you can open/create a specific Vimwiki page like this:

$ vimwikipage ExampleVimwikiPage

Explanation

This command would be essentially equivalent to the following sequence of actions:

$ vim
\ww
:VimwikiGoto ExampleVimwikiPage

(I assume that VimwikiIndex is mapped to \ww, which is a default Vimwiki mapping.)
