New post: Neovim Crash Course for Sysadmins
Not a beginner's guide. This covers the things you still get wrong after years of Vim - efficient navigation, why your paste lands in the wrong place (and the one-key fix), YAML indentation workflows, quick macros, and what Neovim's LSP actually gives you for infrastructure work.
Written for people who edit configs and playbooks all day.

Looking at these results I realise that a similar issue I DO have is when I use `daw` followed by `p/P`. I almost always get it wrong and have to fix up the whitespace after.
#Vim 9.2 has been released. Lots of great stuff in it, but I think I’m most excited about the improvements to vimdiff.

As a programmer, I have never in my life found myself “SSH'd into a compromised Linux server during a penetration test”, but most of the techniques in this—excellent—article are way more broadly applicable than that specific context.

This fascinates me, because the difference between i and a or p and P feels completely natural to me. I don’t think about it at all: my fingers just seem to use the right one. But I’ve been using Vim for ~20 years now! Am I just forgetting a tricky period at the start when I had to learn/internalise this?
Is the difference between before and after the cursor something you had to consciously think about when starting Vim, or was it something that was always effortless for you?

The veep plugin lets you pipe any visually selected content to an external command. This can be an existing external tool, or a script that you write for your own needs: https://github.com/robenkleene/veep.vim
You can often build tools for Vim in whatever language that you're proficient in and plug them into the editor.
Here's one article that prepares a custom python formatting script and easily integrates it with Vim's "equalprg": https://www.seanh.cc/2026/01/18/ruff-format-in-vim/
