I thought the Harpoon plugin might solve my problem of too many buffers cluttering up the Telescope buffer picker.

But maybe you should just close the buffers you are not currently working with?

New post: The Markdown Link no. 13

Among today’s links are markdown editors Minknote, @SilverBulletMD and MKeditor, markdown reader/viewer Readdown, a mini guide to Neovim/Vim, and the ultimate markdown set up in the Micro Journal Rev. 2.

I didn't expect learning a text editor to change how I used my computer.

Vim motions led me to using a tiling window manager, then a browser extension, and now I barely touch my mouse.

I wish I could switch to a completely slop-free editor without compromising my workflow too much.

Helix would be a great alternative: Its mappings seem a bit more consistent than Vim’s, also it has Tree-sitter, LSP and fuzzy pickers already built-in. But it lacks some features (digraphs, extensibility, folding – in that order).

I also had a look at Kakoune, which also seems alright, but I don’t like that tabs and splits are delegated to the terminal emulator, a multiplexer or window manager. I respect that decision, but I’d prefer that feature to be built-in.

For now, I’ll stick to Neovim. At least they have a policy that makes LLM users check and sanitise the generated code (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-assisted-work), although I’d prefer if they’d outright ban it.

on the subject of notetaking in vim. you can get pretty far if you mess around with the `path` and `iskeyword` options.

Something like this:

```
set path=.,,**
set iskeyword+=/,.,-

nnoremap gl <cmd>exe 'find' expand('<cword>')<cr>
```

if your filepath is unique enough you can have a wiki-style link working. For example

[[261042-fix-thing.md]]

if you press `gl` in the middle of that "link" the expand() function should be able to pick up everything inside the brackets and provide it to the `find` command.

now, i believe `iskeyword` does influence a fair amount of things so don't do it like that. if you mess with it, do it inside a function where you can modify and restore the original value.

Look at this thing I've made!

It is actually a transpiler from the weird c-like syntax for bitllevel operations that exists in my brain to code that the LuaJIT interpreter actually understands and can evaluate, displayed in a well-aligned manner right inside the text editor.

Running 5+ Claude Code instances in tmux and constantly switching windows to check which one needs attention? 😩

Built a tiny Claude Code plugin that adds a pixel-art overlay right in tmux ✨, tells me which window needs me, and lets me jump there with Enter.
