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.
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.
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.
Est-ce que certains d'entre vous ont déjà testé #helixhttps://helix-editor.com/ avec un layout #bepo ? Des retours d'expérience ? Des configs à partager ?
I've been moving between neovim, helix (can't get over the slightly different mental model compared to vim), vscode, rustrover... Curious what others use.
@hgrsd I found it easier to hack on #helix than manage #neovim plugins, so I brought some #vim keybindings to Helix. My „soft fork“ is still young, but the idea works (https://github.com/usagi-flow/helix); been using it productively for quite a while.
So over the past year I have been using #vscode for my #rstats and #python work. my workplace is trying to move to a unified IDE, and vscode allows remote access and WSL integration for free. However, so far it fails to spark joy in me like #RStudio (despite lack of #vim mode) and #PyCharm do. Everything feels clunky, and subpar. The "intelligent" and linting things are also quite broken in R... Has there been extensions that fundamentally change the vscode experience that I should be trying?
But it comes with every installation of #Vim and #Neovim, so as someone who enjoys minimalism and likes to keep the number of additional plugins to a minimum, I feel like I should learn to use it and integrate it into my workflow.
But I've just used :Rexplore on a dirty file with 'nohidden' and it simply replaced my file's contents with the directory listing 😬
Also, don't make the mistake of looking at its source, or visiting the maintainer's "website" …
Curious about how many Vim/Neovim plugins you’re rocking? 🤔 Jump into your terminal, navigate to your Vim or Neovim configuration directory, and run this command: ls -alp | wc -l. I currently have 41 plugins, but I’m aiming to slim down to 30-35. How about you? Share your plugin count below! #Vim#Neovim#Plugins”
Well I ran out of battery halfway through the hand install, so several hours of recovery later I can boot into #guix fsvo. Where are all my other bootable partitions though, and will I be able to tolerate #GNOME long enough to learn to live with it? These are the questions. Stay tuned, rat-fans.
