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

emacs vim or whatever you are using is fine;
what truly matters is learning text manipulation ー a godlike skill of a lifetime that will last you forever and will help reaching new heights whatever you pursue;
#emacs #vim #vi #neovim #gnu #linux #fsf #technology #tech #programming #bash #sh #bsd #mastodon

Vim has always been charityware. Any money that was donated to the project went to ICCF Holand, an organization that helps marginalized children in Uganda.
Sadly, 2 years after Bram's passing, this charity will be dissolved. Future donations will be sent to a different charity called Kuwasha: https://groups.google.com/g/vim_announce/c/pUNbNXBLbKw
Bram's work over the years has done much good for disadvantaged communities. Whether you use Vim or Neovim, consider following their original creator's example in whatever way you can.

My minimal configuration file for #Neovim:
- check if the necessary commands are available
- install Lazy as plugins manager
- install Monokai-pro theme
- install lualine and tree-sitter plugins
- create basic commands and keymaps

Some updates from the last few days:
#RSpec interactive debugging with #Neovim: I tried a lot, I failed a lot.
I got this working for other languages ( #Python and #CSharp) and it was a HUGE help, taking away one of the main things I need to leave my editor for.
But something is blowing up and I'm still relatively new to Neotest, DAP, and the various plumbing between them and the test runners.
Vous utilisez Vim avec les flèches ? Ou peut-être avec HJKL ? Dans les deux cas, vous sous-utilisez complètement votre éditeur, et ma conf au prochain @capitoledulibre est faite pour vous !
#Vim (comme #Neovim, #Helix, #Kakoune…) dispose d’un ensemble de commandes de déplacements bien plus pertinentes qu’un simple pavé de flèches, fût-il proche de la position de repos.
Today is officially the first day for the #Vim Carnival
September's topic is 'How do you use Vim?'
It's not specific to Vim, if you are interested, you can also write about #Neovim or #vi 😉

Today I finally fixed a fragile piece of how I work which is how I refer back to emails relating to long-running tasks or just ones I might want to refer back to at some point.
Thanks to the Message-Id header in every email, #Thunderbird supporting a way to find and open messages by their ID (as well as a handy add-on for retrieving them), and some #Neovim magic, I can now link to emails in my work log files and get back to them incredibly quickly and easily.
I've been using Tridactyl[1] for a long time now for keyboard-driven vi bindings in the browser and yesterday decided to check out the alternatives, thinking maybe they provided some interesting features too.
I looked them all up: Vimium, Vimium C, Vimmatic, SurfingKeys and the result is: I am in awe of how advanced Tridactyl is in comparison to all of them.
Native messaging*, comprehensive ex command mode for commands and settings with live-previewed completions; hint-based visual selection, copying and focus; support for local filesystem text-based configuration; binding sequential browser actions to custom commands; tab group commands; actually launching (neo)vim to edit text areas; ...to name a few!
* do bear in mind the security implications of native messaging, as noted by the developers themselves, but you can have most of the functionality without it
Exactly six months ago, I started my journey into the Neovim universe. I'm still thrilled and look forward to using it every day.
The LSPs are simply unbeatable. Getting automatic completion while writing an Ansible script is incredibly convenient. Writing a Python script on a remote machine is a joy, and having an automatically incrementing serial number in bind zones is a nice bonus. And there's so much more.
Thank you, Neovim Universe!
