NegativePrimes<p>I wanted to edit some work files in Vim, but in doing so realized that Vim uses straight quotes and apostrophes instead of curly ones (which I needed given the constraints of this project). I added the following to vimrc to make this feasible (note that I have vimwiki installed, so Vim id'd the markdown file I was editing as a vw file):</p><p>augroup vimrc_vimwiki<br> au!<br> au FileType vimwiki inoremap ' ’<br> au FileType vimwiki inoremap &lt;leader&gt;' ‘<br> au FileType vimwiki inoremap &lt;leader&gt;" “<br> au FileType vimwiki inoremap " ”<br>augroup END</p><p>Voila'! Typing a quote converts it to a closing curly quote; adding the Leader key makes it an opening curly quote!</p><p><a href="https://urusai.social/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vim</span></a> <a href="https://urusai.social/tags/editing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>editing</span></a></p>

Janeishly<p>Looking for a human translator to convey your human words to a human audience? Maybe that's me!</p><p>I translate from Swedish, French, Norwegian and Danish into English (mainly UK but US possible depending on the text - I also work with a USian translator as a team where required). I'm a full Member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting for both Swedish and French.</p><p>I'm also an Intermediate Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading – in other words, I offer proofreading/editing/copyediting services too.</p><p>Oh, and copywriting!</p><p>I work on everything from press releases through sustainability reports to novels. Particularly fond of archaeology/history (got to get use from my MA somehow) and personal development, but really I'm interested in almost everything and translation allows me to be a nerd about all kinds of things. </p><p>The subjects I *don't* do are legal, financial and medical.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/comissionsopen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comissionsopen</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/getfedihired" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>getfedihired</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/translation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>translation</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/copywriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>copywriting</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/proofreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>proofreading</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/editing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>editing</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a> <br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/PersonalDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalDevelopment</span></a> </p><p>I feel like this needs a pic, so here are two of my three cats looking comfy (if a bit warm).</p>
Andy Fletcher<p>I'm absolutely fed up with having to clean up documents which get mangled by members of my team and filled with manual formatting.
