I use mostly VSCodium now, with a Vim plugin. I'll still use Vim from the console or GVim every day, but 90 percent is VSCodium. I :w out of habit, even though it isn't needed. That is slowly changing. I also trap the :w event on #Zettlr and send a WebSocket event to regenerate the render. #vim

Not trying to incite a flame war but…
#vim or #emacs. Which do you prefer and why?

I believe a #compression #algorithm based on #Vim would be really funny. As though it were playing #VimGolf, the algorithm tries to find the shortest ‘path’ from an empty file in Vim to the desired file.

After a long break from #vim, I’ve recently started using nvim.

Feels good! More forgiving somehow, and much less like you’re dry-humping Unix.

I have a very pleasant update regarding this comment. It turns out that #Tridactyl has exactly the feature I had desired, so that this very reply was written in #Vim and automatically entered into the Mastodon web interface.

I'll leave this here in case someone else has a similar desire and sees my original comment.

I just discovered that you can give #neovim the URL to a remote file and it will automagically fetch it. How long has that been a thing and why did I not know about it earlier ?

I have just released vimmage: a vim plugin that uses age* for ecnrypting files. It basically works like vim-gnupg, but uses age instead.

* age-encryption.org

#vim #ageencryption #gnupg

vimmage

Transparent editing of age-encrypted files in Vim, in the spirit of vim-gnupg.

I've been thinking for a while about creating customized #Markdown highlighting, e.g. making all "TODO" strings stand out in my notes.

Are there any tools/frameworks out there (esp. for #Vim / #Neovim ) that allow me to add new formatting rules on the top of existing highlighters?
