#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.

Did I break tree-sitter or did #nixpkgs break tree-sitter? HALP #Neovim

One of the advantages of using vim is that you can finish typing most of your rants with :q!
... and loop as many times needed /s

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!
