Those of you who have a #PineNote, how do you like it? Would it work for distraction free writing with #vim or is the eink refresh rate too low for writing?

Just updated my (Neo-)Vim plugin for Hurl files with new keyword and section names from upstream.

https://github.com/hgrsd/duplik now supports passing a max depth flag when recursively looking for duplicates

I'm working on this project in a very low tech, "retro" way, which I'm really enjoying.

Concretely, this means:

I write code in #vim without any plugins apart from fzf.

I do not use LSPs. I definitely do not use AI. I have the Zig language guide & std lib docs open on the side, and I'm running zig build in `watch` mode.

I'm really trying to preserve the ability to learn new languages and concepts and I think this notion of "productive struggle" is very important to actually build understanding and expertise. Also, I'm really enjoying it.

has NOTHING to do with A.I.

A Love Letter to Neovim https://lobste.rs/s/m57z5f #editors #education #vim
https://caio.ca/blog/a-love-letter-to-neovim

Trying out #nvi-1.81.6 on #Debian as my primary editor on my work box for a bit.

At first, I was sad that I could no longer

some_command |vi

like you can with (neo)?vim, but then I realized you could just as easily

vi <(some_command)

Hmmm, the lack of line selection mode is a bummer. This might have more pain points than I was anticipating. XD

Maybe I should try #vim-tiny?

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 tools once, but I fear the man who has practiced #Vim 10,000 times.

J’ai mis à jour mon tutoriel pour configurer `neovim` pour prendre en compte la `0.12` (avec notamment le remplacement de `nvim-treesitter` qui a été archivé). C’est toujours par ici : https://vincent.jousse.org/blog/fr/tech/configurer-neovim-comme-ide-a-partir-de-zero-tutoriel-guide/ !
#vim #neovim

#vi experts (and #vim / #nvim #NeoVim ),

What's the difference between the 0 command and the | command?

Is it just that | can take a numeric argument?

The #Vimium extension for #Chrome has an intro video that is 13 years old: [link]. It's amazing how much Google's and Amazon's websites have changed. But not Hacker News. That one still looks exactly the same. #vim

Those of you with terminal and plain text first workflows, how did you handle academia? I'm imagining a mix of git, pandoc, and vimwiki or org-mode.

Is there a good article on how to setup such a workflow? Any pitfalls?

#linux #freebsd #cli #terminal #vim #emacs #college #university #acadamia

Now that `nvim-treesitter` has been archived, what do you use as a replacement? #vim #neovim

I was invited to participate in @hyde’s terrific Over/Under series so I RIPPED off the mask and wrote about some things that aren’t #Vim for once.

If you’re interested in my thoughts when I’m not pretending to be an anthropomorphised version of Vim’s best mode you should go have a read:

I use Vim splits to edit files fast without an IDE.

#vim #coding #workflow

#vim/#neovim scrolling:
- top/bottom: gg/G
- page up/page down: Ctrl+B/Ctrl+F (or... PgUp/PgDn, duh!)
- scroll w/o moving cursor: Ctrl+E/Ctrl+Y
- scroll to put current line at top/middle/bottom: zt/zz/zb
- move cursor to top/middle/bottom of screen: H/M/L (note: H and L are remapped by #LazyVim)

Just found that Spacevim was discontinued. What are #vim people using instead now?

(Vim classic only, please. I know of neovim, and i know there's alternatives for neovim, but I do not intend to use neovim)

I'm probably to late for @cassidoo s kata for this week but here is my Solution in #vim

I finally solved one of the puzzles I've been working on for a while, so I thought it was time for a little update on my recent Linux tinkering journey.

#linux #vim #macos #thinkpad

https://thumbsup.me/posts/vim-everywhere-on-linux/

Yesterday I learned that #Vim and #neovim have workspaces, but most people don't use them because they're called "tabpages"...

Only one neovim extension supports native tabpage use (tabby); most replace the tabline with a buffer overview, which imho just clutters the screen.

This probably says something profound about familiarity vs innovation in what people find "intuitive".

https://andrew-mccall.com/blog/2026/05/why-sublime-text-is-worth-it-in-2026/

I renewed my Sublime Text license after using my expired one for two years. I put together a blog post which goes through the process of why I decided to renew. In the age of Microslop VS Code and VC/PEF-backed ZED, having diversity in the source code editing software world seems important to me . Ultimately it came down to the fact that it is extremely stable, it just works, and it has vim mode.

#SublimeText #Vim #TextEditor #SourceCode #Microslop #zed #vscode

Made logos for my EVi config.

I’m currently updating the #html and #php for my website. Working in #vim and live-testing my site across multiple browsers (from modern to ancient) really takes me back to the “good old days” of building web applications. This is definitely one of my #coding happy places and one I’m confident that the #LLM isn’t going to improve.

It's time to talk about my writerdeck https://lobste.rs/s/oyzqgz #linux #vim
https://veronicaexplains.net/my-first-writerdeck/

If you are seriously thinking about learning #Vim / #Neovim, do yourself a favor and proceed as follows:

1. Grok ed(1).
2. Grok vi(1).
3. Ask yourself whether you really need anything ed(1) and vi(1) don't provide.

If your answer to step 3 is "yes", go ahead. But first, do steps 1 and 2.

Here is how to do step 1: Read the man page (it's rather short), read "Ed Mastery" by @mwl (those two steps are interchangeable and even parallelizable), then use it consistently.

Here is how to do step 2: Read the man page (it's rather short as well, though not as short as ed's), then use it consistently.

Also, have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/a/1220118.

#vi #ed

@thorstenzoeller @mwl I learned vi from either a Stephen Kochan Unix book, or Unix for the Impatient.

There's also a nice book on Vim, from long before the slop infestation:
https://pragprog.com/titles/dnvim2/practical-vim-second-edition/
#vi #vim

Also also, macports updated vim to 9.2, so I uninstalled vim & macvim, & I now only have the OS-provided 9.1 until I compile evi or whatever I'm doing.

🌘 在 Vim 中編寫 Lisp：環境建置與插件指南
➤ 實現互動式 Lisp 開發：從插件安裝到深度整合
✤ https://susam.net/lisp-in-vim.html
過去要在 Vim 中進行 Lisp 結構化開發曾是艱鉅挑戰，但隨著 Slimv 與 Vlime 這兩款插件的發展，現今已能實現如同 Emacs SLIME 環境般的互動式開發體驗。本文由作者 Susam Pal 撰寫，深入淺出地比較了兩款插件的特色，並說明如何透過 Vim 8 的原生套件管理功能，建置具備 REPL、除錯器及符號檢查等功能的 Lisp 開發環境，為 Vim 用戶提供了一套高效的 Lisp 開發解決方案。
+ 這篇文章真是及時雨！以前為了在 Vim 裡寫 Common Lisp，我繞了不少遠路，現在終於能輕鬆配置好環境了。
+ 對於資深 Vim 使用者來說，Vim 8 的原生套件管理確實簡化了許多流程。Slimv 和 Vlime 的比較分析非常客觀，對於選擇合適工具很有幫助。

@vkc This is awesome stuff!! Guess I've been using a ""writerDeck"" for years and never knew it. On my main work computer that I use on the road nearly every day, I run #tmux in #termux with #vim, #nnn, #sqlite, #syncthing, and a (perty sweet) custom amber glow colourscheme on my phone mounted on the visor in my car with a split-36 keyboard which sits on my knees.

\m/ Outstanding video, thank you! We all need more of this sorta stuff to inspire us.

SOLUTION: @gumnos came up with the idea of piggy-backing :nohl onto control-l for refresh:

nmap <C-L> :nohl<CR><C-L
imap <C-L> <Esc>:nohl<CR><C-L>a

Hey #vim wizards,

The number one reason I don't use search more freely when editing is that all the highlights triggers my #CDO a little bit, and :nohl is a little clumsy to type in a hurry.

I wanted to map :nohl to an easy-to-press keybind, like ctrl-/, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Any ideas?

" map Ctrl-/ to :nohl
nmap <c-Slash> :nohl<CR>

Adopting Helix*Isms

이 글은 Neovim에서 Helix 에디터로 전환한 경험과 Helix의 장점, 특히 강력한 멀티커서 기능에 대해 다룹니다. Helix는 가벼운 의존성과 직관적인 키 바인딩, 그리고 선택 후 동작하는 독특한 편집 방식을 제공해 빠른 텍스트 편집에 적합합니다. 또한 Helix의 컬럼 기반 심볼 선택 기능은 Neovim의 기존 플러그인보다 우수한 탐색 경험을 제공합니다. 다만 세션 관리와 퀵픽스 리스트 같은 일부 기능은 아직 Neovim만큼 완성되지 않아 보완이 필요합니다.

@mjdxp Vim team seems to be shipping slop. Neovim I'm not sure but they aren't rejecting slop submissions, & they pull from Vim.

My current practice is not updating Vim past 9.1 until I decide on a replacement, which may be evi
https://codeberg.org/evi-editor/evi
or an older vi maintained by *BSD,
or an entirely different editor & I'll just get used to it. Last month I've been using BBEdit on current project which normally I only use for text, md, html. It's fine.
#vim

Am I getting old? The breath of fresh air that is reverting to #vim, using one of its bundled themes, forgetting about LSPs, and installing only `fzf` as a plugin for all my navigation needs.

Sure, we all know that minimalism might only last briefly but god is it nice. #software #programming
