Here we see a demonstration of plugin workers (our built-in workaround for threads). We see the Strider plugin searching the file system (both file names and their contents), rendering in real time and offloading the search itself to the background worker.
When we select a search result, Strider will open it for us in a new pane with our default editor (#vim in my case) to the correct line if relevant.
I finally found an hour last evening to try Tridactyl and :woah-dude:
It takes a bit to setup, and the tutorial is well worth the time.
Other than the ace-jump like navigation, my favorite thing now is Ctrl-i to edit text areas in vim - simply the best
... I don't think I can ever go back to anything else. #firefox#vim
@cnx In the world of editors, I keep going back to #vim. I'm just so used to it. evil-mode does a great job, but then there's customizations that I already have working in vim, but not #emacs.
I did make a drastic change in my desktop setup, though, I'm running #KDE with #AwesomeWM now. I also found some library to make Awesome's tags (supposedly) work like #XMonad's tags. When this laptop gets to the office with additional monitors, I can see if it makes true on that promise!
:vim: #vim power user tip: g; (that is: g semicolon) jumps to the last-edited position. Ultra-helpful when editing text and probably my most used keystroke. ⌨️
TIL:
Warum wird der Cursor in vi mit h j k l bewegt?
Warum springt ^ in vi an den Anfang der Zeile?
Warum steht ^ in regulären Ausdrücken für den Zeilenanfang?
Warum steht ~ in Unix für das home-Verzeichnis?
Das alles ergibt sofort Sinn mit Blick auf das Keyboard-Layout des ADM-3A Terminals von 1976.
I am not a lawyer and maybe this is a very naive or wrong-headed view. So, as far as I understand the legal underpinning of open source and free software, it is our copyright that allows us to assign licenses, which underpin free software.
Now, if that is correct, what does it mean that the US doesn't recognize copyright for partially AI-created content? Does it mean that partially AI-created content can NOT be licensed as open source and free software? Or does it go even further, meaning that proprietary software based on licenses is also not legal if it incorporates AI-generated content?
@ola Not all free software is made in the US. Even in the English-speaking world, the UK does not agree with the US legislation.
In any case, I don’t think most free software would ever be written like that. In a world where people still use #vim and #emacs, why would we ever want an AI system to write our code?
The hardest keybind to relearn when going from #vim to #helixeditor for me right now is deleting. "x" is like a reflex, but I need to learn to use "d" now.
I'll get there.
1️⃣ Introduce a few default linters
2️⃣ Add a few LazyVim plugin linters and formatters
3️⃣ Navigate diagnostics across a project
4️⃣ Show how to fix problems
5️⃣ Add your own custom linters
I used :emacs: and c3po.el to ask about what makes nvim better than vim 🙂
Even though Emacs rocks my world, I still use vim daily and am curious how its future looks.
One feature that's hard for nvim to do after, is that vim is ubiquitous: Not only is it available on macOS, Windows and Linux, but any Unix under the Sun (pun intended), as well as Amiga, OS/2, QNX and many others.
I started using vi on AIX in 1999/2000
I started using #Vim some time around 2002, but I've never really taken advantage of plugins or advanced features. I've just been really happy with syntax highlighting and powerful search and replace.
I just started using #Neovim and, following some guides, I've got it pretty pimped out.
I don't know how to use half the plugins I've installed. We'll see how this goes.
does anyone have any suggestions for cool vim plugins to install that I might not already have?
I already have a lot of common plugins, like syntax highlighting and LSP, etc...
:vim: #vim
It's really not what you're looking for, but it's related and it made me remember your post. I think the motivation behind these themes is just minor irritation at the abundance of overly-colorful themes.
If you do decide to create a theme with a focus on B&W printability, I'd be interested in trying it out 😁
