Install

Plugin

pip3 install beancount_oneliner --user

Or copy to path used for python. For example, $HOME/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/beancount_oneliner/oneliner.py would do on Debian. If in doubt, look where beancount folder is and copy next to it.

Syntax highlight

Supported by the following beancount extensions:

• beancount syntax definition for Sublime Text
• VSCode Beancount Extension

On VSCode, you will need to select the syntax with plugin support (there are two, with and without). To ensure it's selected automatically, add this to VSCode settings:

    "files.associations": {
        "*.bean": "beancount-oneline",
        "*.beancount": "beancount-oneline",
    }
