Okay, so I‘ve used #vim for a while and recently started using #HelixEditor not only for text editing, but also for #Java and #nix development. It‘s still not the same as using a full IDE such as #IntelliJ. But I love how snappy terminal based editing feels… so what’s next? Should I look into #emacs? Found an introduction video on YouTube that‘s just 1h 39min 😅

Wait, why is #Neovim loading .vim/after/plugin/foo.vim if the foo plugin isn't installed at all?
(Sharing dotfiles across machines, and I was hoping that /after/ made sure that it's only sourced when the plugin itself is installed on that particular machine.)
I know that I can use exists() to check for a plugin command or whatever to conditionally do things, I was just hoping I didn't have to.
Motherfuckers will spend hours of their life tweaking and fixing their vim config just to get the same functionality as a fresh VSCode install. Get a real job.
Currently I'm setting up an environment to create a new song book. I'm using #lilypond, #latex, #git, and #jenkins.
My kid(12) wants to help creating the book. Now I'm in trouble: should I teach him #vim (no, #emacs isn't a choice!), or should I be easy on his soul and the rest of his life by teaching him some gui text editor?
I love this quote. Can't seem to find the original author to give attribution where due:
#vim is immortal in the nokia brick-phone sense. It's got very few dependencies, it'll survive a drop from a ten foot pole and it's cooperative with like thirty year old technology. It's fast and ergonomic and once armageddon comes you'll shell into the flaming wreckage of a datacenter and edit configs with it. Pure embodiment of the strength and certainty of steel.
#emacs, by contrast, is immortal in the shambling fleshbeast sense. Its thousand thralls write beautiful evocations to pull domains you never could have wanted or imagined from its flesh. It grows cancerously to envelop any domain, any need you may want from it. You can tear out its heart and swap it, still-beating, for a new one. It embodies the ultimate desire to survive. It can send email.
Part of me is tempted to use #UBlue to make a custom #Fedora#Silverblue image to add in the Pop_OS Gnome extensions, make #vim the default editor, and #Thunderbird the default mail reader and call it "Blue Bacon Linux"
Linux vim, emacs, neovim and/or tmux users, what terminal emulator do you use and why? I heard about kitty, but idk if I really need all of that. For context, on mac I use neovim with iterm. #linux#vim#neovim#emacs#tmux#debian
You can't exit VIM, right?
