@mlncn @agaricvim#Vim and emacs emacs will do all of this without shame on whatever system.

Dumb #vim trick:

Have a bunch of files open in multiple windows and want to jump to the first (or last) line in all of them?

:windo 1

or

:windo $

and done.

If you use tabs instead of windows, you could use :tabdo instead.

or you can jump to the next instance of /pattern/ in all open windows/tabs with

:windo /pattern
:tabdo /pattern

or the first/last (assuming you have 'wrapscan' set) with

:windo $/firstpattern
:windo 1?lastpattern

So #Fediverse, tell me - are there any Mastodon clients you really like for the desktop? Specifically, I am hoping for something with a GUI, linux native, and has support for vim motions. The stretch goal would be something cross-platform.

I'll just download a test a bunch if I have to, but hoping one of you can save me the effort, because so far my search-engine-fu is not yielding any results regarding vim-motions. (which I concede is a bit of a long shot)

I’ve been exploring a more minimalist approach in my tools lately, and part of that includes trying to use nvi more often instead of Vim. To make the transition easier (for myself and anyone else interested), I put together a simple nvi quick reference:

It’s not meant to be exhaustive, just a practical guide to help get things done with a lighter touch.
