My Vim plugin manager broke, so I switched to a new one. Find out how that excitingly geeky adventure unfolded! 😁

Testing iamb¹ as #Matrix client. Seems to scratch my itch for an experience a la #irssi but without needing an #IRC bridge or similar.

Bonus points for being written in #Rust, #vim keybindings, and being able to display images in (supported) terminals.

After the French version, I've updated the English version of my book about #vim too.
You can find it here: https://vimebook.com/en

The github code is here https://github.com/vjousse/vim-for-humans-book/ and the tagged release here https://github.com/vjousse/vim-for-humans-book/releases/tag/v2.0
Don't hesitate if you have any feedback!

And of course, share the love ❤️

As of this month, it's been 10 years since I switched to vim. Some reflections on what has changed in how I use vim over the decade:

Is there any developer out there who is working on #GTK4/#libadwaita GUI editor for typesetting documents in #latex/#typst. As much as I love them, modal editors like #vim/#helix are not for me.

vjousse, 16 days ago to vim French

Aussi improbable que cela puisse paraître, j'ai mis à jour mon livre sur #vim 12 ans après 😅 https://vimebook.com/fr
Le contenu reste sensiblement le même, j'ai juste refait tous les screenshots, vérifié tous les liens, utilisé vim-plug au lieu de pathogen, fzf au lieu de ctrlp, vim-fern au lieu de TheNerdTree. Bref, c'est pareil, mais en mieux. Reste la version anglaise à mettre à jour, puis passer à l'écriture du prochain sur #neovim !
Merci pour tous les retours que j'ai eu ici ❤️

A super fast, advanced modal editor/IDE, written in #rust and with #vim keybindings. How does that sound?

Some years ago, I forked the #helix editor and started adding some VIM keybindings to it. Now, some keybindings and a modeline later, I‘m excited to share #evilhelix with you, looking forward to your feedback!

Ce samedi 25 mai je proposerai deux interventions sur #Vim (et #Neovim, #Kakoune, #Helix…) aux @jdll :

• de 10h à 11h, une conférence « ergonomie vimiste » pour découvrir ou approfondir l’ergonomie des éditeurs modaux (tous niveaux) ;
• de 16h à 18h, un atelier « tupperVim » pour partager des connaissances sur nos éditeurs préférés (niveaux débrouillés / confirmés / experts).

Ça se passe à l’ENS Lyon, viendez nombreuses et nombreux !

This is what I hear in my head if I switch back to #Emacs or #Vim.

I'm about to update my book on #vim but as I am now mostly using #neovim, I'm a little bit outdated about #vim plugin management. What would you recommend instead of pathogen (for vim, not for neovim)?

Is the #Vim plugin manager Vundle broken?
When I use :PluginSearch I get a bunch of errors now.

scy, 18 days ago to vim

There are days when I'd like to throw Vim at the wall.

:set stl=%f%{&modified?'\ •':''}

will have a status line like

README.md •

with the bullet point (•) if the file is modified.

:set stl=%{fnamemodify(expand('%%:p'),':~:.')}%{&modified?'\ •':''}

will eat the space before the bullet point for some reason.

All I did is replace %f with the %{…} expression.

This happens both in #Vim 9.0.1378 and #Neovim 0.7.2, and also if I replace • with any other character.

Ideas, anyone?

guilty of sprinkling Makefiles in a lot of projects and sub-projects, just so I can :make in #Vim

aburka, 24 days ago to vim

#tmux and #vim chose opposite conventions for the meaning of "vertical" and "horizontal" splits and it will be the death of me

conorh, 23 days ago to random

During lunch a friend mentioned that you can just supply a HTTP URL to vim on the command line and it would use curl to download that resource and allow you to edit the content. I jokingly asked whether if you enter :w it would then issue a HTTP POST back to the origin which is of course ridiculous.

It issues a PUT

How to reload .vimrc file without restarting vim on #Linux / #Unix https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-reload-vimrc-file-without-restarting-vim-on-linux-unix/ #vim

scy, 23 days ago to vim

#Vim (and #Neovim) will trigger au FileType netrw autocommands, as well as commands in after/ftplugin/netrw.vim when

• selecting a directory in a #Netrw buffer
• selecting a file in a Netrw buffer (i.e. when leaving Netrw)

but not when first entering Netrw, e.g. by calling :Explore

Even though :set ft? will display 'netrw' no problem.

What the fuck?! I'm at a loss here, any hints greatly appreciated. :BoostOK:

Reproduce by doing

• nvim --clean
• :au FileType netrw echo 'netrw'
• :e .

scy, 23 days ago to vim

With the minus key being the default #Netrw (and oil.nvim) shortcut for "change into parent directory", TJ DeVries suggested to globally (i.e. in normal edit buffers) map minus to "open Netrw (or oil) in the current window", and I think that's really clever.

Like, <CR> moves down into a directory or file, and - moves up into the parent directory – either of the directory you're currently browsing, or the file you're currently editing. Like a global "zoom out" key.

#vim tip of the day: to replace text wrapping around some other, you can use regex groups and backreferences like this:

:%s/some(.*)text/other\1string/gc

For example:

Instead of simply failing, my #Vim will now ask to create parent directories, if they don't exist, before saving a file.

Productivity increases with the level of customization you are making in the tools you are using most often.

The downside is that the more used to these customizations you get, the more lost you'll feel when
using a system that is not configured as yours.

Simple example: create a new binding in #Vim or #Emacs. This is not only very common but
also very encouraged. After getting used to that, connect to a remote server.
