I reckon this quote by Steven Jay Cohen on Reddit just about sums up the reason why I'm considering going back to #vim . The only diffence is that I will have a couple of plugins but nothing as convoluted as my present Neovim setup.
Because I realized that all of the thing that I truly needed to do were part of Vim's Core Functionality. And, that many of the plugins I had installed just re-implemented core Vim features in slightly different ways.https://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/16cdbyd/comment/jziruaw/
So, I got myself used to the native Vim way of doing things, and dumped all of the plugins one by one. And now, I just open Vim and get work done with very little left to tweak in a streamlined vimrc.
Another TIL using #vim
If you move the cursor over a word say printf and press K (upper case K) the manpage for printf should appear.
I'm a #Neovim user but those voices in my head keep trying to persuade me to use #Vim instead. I've spent days reading folks configs and reasons for and against and no I'm not considering Vi, Ed or the church. I've tried Helix too and it's just not suited the back to my roots style. I'm loving #OpenBSD with ksh and I don't know why but Vim just keeps calling. Think the only way to resolve this would be to run both side by side ??? I guess I'm just showing my age by going old school. #RunBSD

@capitoledulibre Les slides de ma conf sur la navigation #Vim sont en ligne :

Désolé pour la présentation un peu à l’arrache, entre l’activité sur le stand des #Ergonautes et la finalisation du #Quacken, j’ai été sous l’eau ! Mais je crois que si vous utilisez encore les flèches ou HJKL dans Vim, vous en retirerez des choses utiles.
Happy vimming !

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"
I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.
The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.
If you have questions, please do ask!
