@hyde I liked your site a lot. Thinking of implementing some of the slashpages myself. I began using Neovim very recently, after decades of heavy vim use; bookmarked your #vimovember page to go through the tips
@tsvenson @hyde @jasper @loupbrun Oh no, I haven't posted anywhere else… I have no blog or whatever (just sites I use with my middle-school French pupils, but it has nothing to do with Vim 😉 )
But Thanks for that #vimovember ! It was my first time in such events and I did my best to share some thoughts about my favorite text editor 😃

@tsvenson Check the #vimovember hashtag.

My posts are summarize here:

@jasper has done it too: https://jasper.tandy.is/doing-vimovember-2025

@celfred has posted some on the fediverse but I dont know if he wrote them down somewhere.

@loupbrun has done some posts too...

Maybe other #vim / #neovim users too 🤷

Doing the Vimovember

@tsvenson Oh ! And did you just miss the #vimovember challenge ?

#Vimovember L’explorateur de fichiers de Vim peut être appelé avec `:Lexplore` (Left Explore) pour ouvrir une barre latérale listant les fichiers, comme dans les environnements de développement intégrés IDE. Les fichiers sont ouverts sur la droite et la barre latérale reste telle quelle !

J’ai mon raccourci-clavier <Leader>+e (e = explore, ma touche <Leader> est la barre d’espace) pour afficher/masquer l’explorateur latéral – plus pratique que de taper `:Lexplore` !

For the last ones, if you want to check how i use named sessions, ripgrep, and other functions go visit

25 Block Mode 🧠

Visual block mode is really helpful to reformat or move columns of your text.

A useful keybinding I have is:

keymap("v", "<leader>t", "!pandoc -f markdown -t markdown-simple_tables<CR>", opts)

It uses pandoc to reformat correctly your table.

#vim #pandoc #Vimovember #editors

Last one, if you need to insert a filename in the current buffer, use <C-x><C-f>. You never tried it? Do it right now!

24 Shell 🧠

I don’t use the integrated terminal(:term) in nvim. As a tmux, and Wezterm user, I prefer using them to spawn a new terminal.

With tmux, every new project opens with two panes: one at 80% height and one at 20%. The larger pane opens directly with Telescope in the project directory.

23 Quickfix 🧠

Quickfix is probably one of the feature that many users don’t understand, or use it unintentionally. Yet it can transform how you search, debug, refactor, or navigate.

The Quickfix window is a special buffer listing all the quickfix entries that you can open with :copen. It allows you to modify multiple files with :cfdo for example.

It can be used as a todo list by adding manually some tasks with :caddexpr 'fix this later'.
