young man yells at the cloudI feel sorry for people who believe VSCode / Visual Studio / JetBrains are the best ways to edit code. Those tools are so bloated and wasteful and busy, but more to my point, they're so dry and "professional" for lack of a better word. They aren't fun in any sense of the word.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vim</a> and especially <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emacs</a> on the other hand have ecosystems full of playful, fun functionality. Using them, to me, is like playing a game. I have fun editing text. I find joy in it.Maybe I'm just autistic.

Zef HemelOk. Day one of using <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@silverbulletmd" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@silverbulletmd</a> in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vim</a> mode lead to already fixing some ugly UI glitches. Now thinking how to expand <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Lua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lua</a> APIs to define Vim commands, bindings and other things. Also a reason to dive a bit deeper into <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@neovim" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@neovim</a> which leans heavily on Lua. Also an interesting source of inspiration for Lua API design potentially.

scyIn <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vim</a>, I sometimes try to paste stuff using Ctrl-V instead of Shift-Ctrl-V. So, instead of the terminal pasting something, Vim will be armed to insert the next keypress literally (see :help i_CTRL-V).And once Vim displaying "^" makes me realize my mistake, the intuitive thing for me to do is to press backspace (to get rid of the "^").Which usually makes me laugh, because now Vim says "<BS>", and I think "yeah, that was some bullshit indeed 🙈".

nixCraft 🐧If you ever accidentally end up inside vi or vim or neovim by reading some tutorials online, you can quit it by pressing Escape, colon ( : ), q (q), bang (!) and pressing return. It is simple as that. Modern version of VIM even tells you that on welcome screen.

OsmanPSA: If you're into <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vim</a>, I highly recommend the Vimium browser extension.

Inaction Figure<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@nixternal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nixternal</a> I’m a JavaScript/React dev.

Annika BackstromTIL about "digraphs" in (neo)vim. Need to insert, say, an en dash, which has a digraph of -N? In insert mode, ctrl-k, hypen, N. Want to check the digraph of a character already in your file? ga to show ascii, and look at the "Digr" notation. You would see e.g. "Digr =e" for the euro symbol.:help digraphs :help digraphs-default<a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vim</a> <a href="https://xoxo.zone/tags/neovim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neovim</a>

Steve LeachI'm not sure I've ever had to do a hold-the-power-button-down reboot because I tried to run a *text editor* ever in my life (Linux or DOS).I'm sure it does lots of cool tricks, but I'll stick to <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vim</a>.

Andrew RadevVim's built-in `z=` mapping gives you spelling suggestions, but I find the UI a bit inconvenient (too many results, covering the entire screen).I made a mini-plugin (44 LOC) to show just the top 9 suggestions in a popup: <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~andrewradev/vimfiles/tree/main/item/miniplugins/plugin/spellsuggest_popup.vim" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://git.sr.ht/~andrewradev/vimfiles/tree/main/item/miniplugins/plugin/spellsuggest_popup.vim</a>This does not fully replace z=, but it fits my needs and might fit yours.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vim</a>

Paweł GrzybekVim tip for today 🔥The `!!` in normal mode lets you pass lines of code through the external CLI. I use it mostly to put the output of the external command into the current buffer. For example, `!!date` inserts the current date and time.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vim</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neovim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neovim</a>

Steven RosenbergFor years I have been a heavy gVim user when it comes to news editing, and today I started using Vim in a GNOME terminal. It's going very well.
